Disney represents the future of filmmaking in North America.

I think there's a lot of people in their dingy boats in the middle of the ocean pining for the days of closed-ended narrative.
We made 'Pieces' in Cleveland with zero connections to the film business. Absolutely zero.
'Avengers 3' has a beginning, middle, and a very definitive end, and 'Avengers 4' does the same.
Characters have to make sacrifices. To really, really feel the true emotion and the hero's journey, they have to go through trials, and those trials could cost them something.
I'm Italian, so I absorb other cultures through their food.
'The Infinity War' is meant to be a culmination film. It's meant to join together all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe against an incredible universal threat - Thanos.
Everything is finite, right? Nothing can last forever.
If you look at what we did with 'Winter Soldier' with the Cap character in terms of bringing him into the modern world, trying to ground the movie tonally into something that was a step toward real-world, at least to the degree you can do that in a superhero movie, that's still the tonal universe that we're playing in 'Civil War.'
It was always the intent, in a larger arc, to split the Avengers up before the greatest threat that they've ever seen.
Our job with Thanos is to make him the preeminent villain in the Marvel Universe. That is his role in the comics. That's his role in these movies.
I think movies moving forward are going to become long-form storytelling.
I find that when I watch films where the villain is more complex, I find that it makes the heroes more complex and ultimately, in the story, more interesting.
We love being told good stories, and we love telling good stories, and all of our energy and our effort and our thought and our passion goes into telling the best story that we can.
