The thrill of doing television versus features is in television you get to focus more on the characters.

Somehow we allow, if a character goes to the dark side, if we're hooked into that character - I'm obsessed with Peaky Blinders. Those characters are awful, and yet you root for them. You love them! Same with Breaking Bad. That's not as easy in a feature.

In the Marvel world, some characters have similar powers. Initially some people might bump up against it, but if they really looked into the X-Men world they would see that characters do share similar powers.

I find myself watching cable and television much more than going to the movies.

There's 54 years of X-Men comics by now, so there are a lot of characters to explore.

I've never produced a series, so for me [X-men] was a wonderful challenge.
