“Now all of us at Marvel Studios feel like Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man. As new actors and artists come in, we tell them that they are part of a larger universe. They simply now have to do the work required to build their audience. I am pleased to be able to say that everyone here, where I am sitting now, is doing an amazing job. I can’t wait for people to see what we’re building.”
Are they hiding some project from us?

“This is so amazing to me right now… Just sitting here right now with this group of people is amazing. I am grateful to be part of this series and this universe. And this is just the beginning. This program hasn’t even concluded, so I’m looking forward to that day.”
