People who know and read comics know that there's a huge diversity amongst the types of stories. Nobody ever goes 'how many more of these movies based on novels are there going to be?!'. People laugh at that question and they go novels, there are all different types of novels. But there are all different types of comic books, they just happen to have drawings on the cover!

We have audiences that seem to be embracing whether they've heard of the characters or not.

I don't know that we'll get into Earth 1 thru 616 in any one moment anytime soon.

I don't think it's a mistake to put every great idea into the first movie, because I've always said there won't be a second movie if you go 'we'll hold back these ideas for another one.

Once that Gauntlet is on, as the poster of Doctor Strange says, "the impossibilities are endless."

Most obviously it [Doctor Strange] will introduce a new character who will be in play in the universe, but once you have gotten an audience to buy into a new concept then it's fun to keep, to play-off, or spin-off that concept down the line.

It's kind of weird to meet people that grew up in films who are still in touch with reality.
