Interviewer : So, I'm curious what your reaction was when you read the script. What were those discussions like?

James Spader : There was no script. When I had to make the decision to do the show, it was just based on my conversations with Terry \[Matalas\]. The story would have to be very different if Ultron wasn't going to be on the show. So, first I had to discuss whether Ultron was going to be there. In our first meeting, we started working on it together. I knew the trajectory of the show in that very first meeting. And then I knew the trajectory of Ultron within the context of the show in that very first meeting. But then how funny was it going to be and how that was going to be executed. I didn't see until scripts started to arrive and they were better than I even had expected. We were just having such fun right from the very first meeting.

James Spader deep dives into the process of coming up with the human look for Ultron in the VisionQuest show.

Kevin Feige :
>"The Marvel mythology is ripe for storytelling. It's so rich. It is, and you can look this up, the longest running fictional narrative in history. And Doomsday's only the 39th movie. We've still got a lot of stories to tell, a lot of movies to make. Because we love making these movies, we love it. And when we're in Production, it's really easy to get bogged down in the details and the day-to-day. And you're trying to get the script right, you're trying to get the cast right, you're trying to solve problems, and Jeff Bridges brings you into the trailer to make martinis. But when you take a step back and you remember, hold on, people are getting in their cars, they're finding parking, they're buying a ticket, they're finding a babysitter to come out and see what we do, and they're choosing to sit in a theater with a bunch of strangers to experience something that just might become a core memory like they did for me. And if you get really lucky, they're coming back and doing it again, whether they see the same movie seven times or come back to see it again seven years later, like we saw this weekend with Avengers: Endgame Encore, which is pretty amazing. And in this industry that is constantly being told movie going is dying, we've gotten to make movies that bring people back to the theater."

Chris Pratt :
>"So Kevin, thank you for taking that chance on me. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and for gifting me with the role of a lifetime. Every time 'Come and Get Your Love' comes on, I look around and I'm like, 'Don't f****** make me dance. I'm done with it. So I'm just getting—I dance, baby. I dance. I spin in circles. I put my hands in there. I dance. Kevin Feige, Congratulations. This award is incredibly deserved. Not just for your ability to see and spotlight talent, but for being one of the kindest people in this business as well."

Kevin Feige to Receive Pioneer of the Year Award From Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation on Sept. 30

- Levitation will play a role : a character (we know from other Doomsday leaks that it's Doctor Doom) will levitate during the battle with Magneto—much like Wanda did against Agatha in WandaVision. Thor will battle Doctor Doom's "Purple Witch" at the TVA.

- Thor will also engage in a simultaneous fight against Strange (Boris) and Aum (?) in Latveria.

- Thor will receive the golden hammer and new powers at the end of the film.

- Gambit will stab a Sentinel with his sword during the battle near the X-Men's headquarters.

- Namor will create a massive Tsunami.

- Reed will turn around and tear the Sentinel apart.

- Magneto will get a new red suit for the finale.

- Deadpool sets off to assemble his team for the battle (unconfirmed reports suggest the lineup will include Rocket, Groot, Nebula, Quill, Cosmo, and a Black Panther variant).

- City setting : The Daily Bugle building features prominently—this is where you'll find Wolverine, Deadpool, and Tobey.

- The set photo shows a destroyed street at night, with the ruined Daily Bugle lettering visible in the background.

Christopher Abbott :
>“I think I started walking out pretty enthusiastically, and then I kind of felt like a lot of people there didn’t know who I was, so then my energy shifted within the split second. I was a little bit more humble about it. I almost did a fist pump when I walked out, and then I felt like the applause was muted. So I was like, ‘I’m just going to walk out and nod.’ It feels almost like a video game, or a dream. Not like a good dream. It’s a bit of both — a bit of a dream and a nightmare.”

Interview Article (no paywall)

Could Braff take his directing skills into the Star Wars franchise or Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)?

While it's Donald Faison's hope, Zach Braff revealed the opportunity was so close to happening before the Emmy-nominated series Wonder Man was cancelled after one season.

Donald Faison :

"I have dreams of being in Star Wars and in Marvel. Those things might not ever happen, but my best friend is one of the best directors I've ever worked with in my life, and I keep trying to get him to direct Star Wars and Marvel, strictly so he would put me in Star Wars or Marvel, because I know if he directs it, it's going to be fire,"

Zach Braff :

"Donald and I both shared a love of the show Wonder Man, and he's always wanted me to work with Marvel, and so I had a meeting with them, and I was like, 'I love your show. Please put me on the list for consideration to direct Season 2.' And they said, 'We love your work. Yes, consider yourself on the list.' And Donald and I were high-fiving."

And then about a week later, Marvel said, 'You know that show that's very popular and just got Emmy nominations, we've cancelled it.' … That close!"

Speaking at the Zurich Film Festival, where he received a Golden Eye Award and is presenting the opening film “Tenzing”, Tom Hiddleston recalled those early Marvel days as “larger than life.”

This award for Hiddleston follows the release of the Casting clip by Marvel Studios' for Avengers actors as part of the promotions for Endgame Encore, titled "Avengers Auditions".

Tom Hiddleston :

“The difference [with Marvel] was in the scale of the resources, the size of the crews, the size of the sets. It was so larger than life. Hiddleston has “a very vivid, happy, immediate, fast friendship with Chris Hemsworth that had both of us feeling like we were the two luckiest guys in the world."

He said they were both very aware of being given “this extraordinary opportunity to play these magnificent characters and bring them to life for the first time.”

“We were immediately bonded,” he added. “It was a shared excitement about being invited to make a film like this. Marvel Studios had made one film at that time, which was ‘Iron Man,’ which we both loved, and we were being directed by Kenneth Branagh, Anthony Hopkins was playing our father, Rene Russo was playing our mother, and we had extraordinary resources. We had an amazing, brilliant creative stunt department where we would train for sequences of dizzying choreography. We both loved movement and these opportunities.”

On the project's scale, Hiddleston said : “It was a different dimension. The scenes themselves were very deep. They were full of turbulence, turmoil, soul and emotion […] The material was really deep, so the combination of those things was a thrill.”

Hiddleston thanked late screenwriter Don Payne for developing Loki’s “complex” backstory, and recalled an early conversation with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, who told him “Thor” wasn’t “the only film you’re going to be in.” Kevin said : ‘Well, we’ve made an ‘Iron Man’ film, we’re going to make a ‘Thor’ film, we’re going to make a ‘Captain America’ film, and then we’re going to make an ‘Avengers’ film, which is Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, the Hulk and Hawkeye forming a team. In the first edition of the first ‘Avengers’ comic, from 1967, the villain is Loki, and we want you to be the villain.”

Hiddleston added : “I never expected to be playing the character for this long. But he’s a brilliant character of such depth and dimension. I knew where we had started in ‘Thor,’ and I wanted to get back to his capacity for love and his belonging to his family. I wanted to somehow find a way of completing that arc. It’s a long journey.”

Hiddleston kept his lips sealed about the highly anticipated “Avengers: Doomsday", saying only that “it is coming.”

Interviewer : Is there a moment or character choice in Endgame that means something different to you today than it did when you made the film?

Anthony Russo : "Well, I mean, you all just saw Endgame Encore, and there's certainly, certainly a pivotal moment in that film at the end where the moment has a different meaning. You know, we sort of, we play one, one beat past where Steve Rogers' story ended with Peggy Carter, and, in that moment, that's sort of where Doomsday is born."

When asked whether there is any "connective tissue" between Tony Stark and Doom, Anthony Russo said :

"You tell me. Look, it's certainly a pregnant question. But I will say that we are fully committed to Robert Downey as Victor Von Doom, and yes, there is a curiosity around the casting, but you know everything is best left for the theater."

Full Interview (Starts 47:05)

Josh Horowitz : And last thing ... Nothing you can tell me obviously about Doomsday, but we'll hopefully be talking more about that and much to do in New York, I can't wait. It strikes me that you and Patrick Stewart have both died three times, is that right? Throughout the Marvel films. Is somebody going to come out ahead? Do you think you or Patrick is going to take the mantle of most deaths on screen?

Tom Hiddleston : I've had three, I believe. Let me... hang on, are you counting the end of Thor 1?

Josh Horowitz : Yeah, that's a death.

Tom Hiddleston : Wait, now.. I am ... Wait, does letting go of... letting go of the spear. Infinity War is one, we know that. Dark World is two.

Josh Horowitz : Let's go, I could have done it farther. Infinity War is one, that's a death. [Dark World] That's definitely two, yeah. Yeah, is it not? Do you not count it?

Tom Hiddleston : Yeah, yeah I count it. That's [Thor is] three.

Josh Horowitz : You're... You're Loki.

Tom Hiddleston : I'm not as well-versed in the Patrick Stewart lore. Look, if I keep going down the path of the end of this sentence, I will find myself revealing things that... it depends what you, you know... I'm going to stop. I have to stop.

Josh Horowitz : Are you happy that Loki seems integral to [Avengers : Doomsday] the film? Would you say that?

Tom Hiddleston : Yes.

Josh Horowitz : That's a badge of honor among 50 characters to feel that you're amazing.

Tom Hiddleston : Certainly, certainly. Well come on, I'm holding the timelines together.

Josh Horowitz : Okay, well I respect it, I'm just saying ...

Tom Hiddleston : All right, I'll let you go on that. It's.. you know, we live in a multiverse now, I think. And Loki is the God of Stories, so there it is.

Yahya Abdul Mateen II : >”Nothing bitter about this experience. I'm blessed. I got to play the role. I feel like I had the best seat in the house. I feel for the fans who were expecting to see the show come back. It's still a celebration of the work that we did over here.”

Kevin Feige :

"[Jonathan Hickman's] intricate story, which developed across multiple series, and [Esad Ribic's] bold, beautiful art hit some of the same notes as that earlier comic but remixed and reframed its event. It starts with a collision of worlds, and it ends in a Marvel Multiverse rebuilt and retooled for the modern age. They invented something new, seamlessly picking up where the old universe left off, but branching out in all-new, all-different directions".

"We pick and choose from Marvel's rich, nearly 90-year comics history and make movies that honor the source but become something entirely different. That cycle continues as we head toward the MCU's own version of Secret Wars. Like Loki gathering up branches of the timeline at the end of all things, we'll pick up the threads of Hickman and Ribic's run and all those who came before and weave a new story inspired by the vast tapestry of our comics and films".

“We will bring together the characters we know and love in pinch-me moments that we as fans have always dreamed of but have never seen realized. And we will call on Doctor Doom, the greatest villain in the history of the Marvel universe, to become a centerpiece of that story".

Using Hulk in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ “wasn't a mandate" and he had to ask Kevin Feige for permission
