What I think is incredible about what Marvel has done and with Jon Favreau I think really maybe helped come up with, is what the template is.

I'm just an actor who happened to love these [Marvel] comics when I was a kid, and got to rediscover them.

The hardest thing to get right is to figure out how to bring all those characters together, and to fulfill the promise of The Avengers. They really set a very high bar for themselves because you've been setting this coalition up, for these five movies, and they better deliver. And in my opinion, they thoroughly deliver.

I felt like people really do their best work when they're having a really good time and feel safe to push the envelope and make a jackass out of themselves.

I was an 'Ironman' fan. It was in the '70s. I definitely liked comics and drew a lot of panels on my notebook when I should have been studying - probably why I ended up in the arts.

Because I'm stern and scolding [the characters] sometimes, I'm sure I'll get a ton of grief.

I like anything Jennifer Lawrence is in. She's so beautiful.
