Roy Thomas on The Avengers:
“Even though I wrote far more stories than Stan Lee did, I’d actually like to see something that had the spirit of those early issues of The Avengers, when they were first getting together to fight somebody. They didn’t know each other, and one of them is the Hulk, who doesn’t know or like anybody.”
“I think it’ll be good to see the Hulk, Captain America, Thor and Iron Man all coming together. I wish they could find a way to adapt aspects of the fourth issue, so they’d deal with unfreezing Captain America from World War 2.”
Gene Colan on Captain America:
“I think Captain America should be portrayed much like in the book. They’ll probably enhance it and go a step further with some things. They tried it before, many years ago, but it wasn’t successful and didn’t go anywhere. Maybe this time they’ll cast a good player in that role.”
Walt Simonson on Thor:
“What I’d really like from Thor - whether it has elements of the comic that I did or Stan and Jack or Gerry Conway or Len Wein or anybody else - I’d like to see them put into a coherent two-hour-and-ten-minute movie.”
“What I’d like is a cracking good story, because it seems to me that so often in films, the story itself doesn’t really seem to have been thought out fully. I’m assuming the direction will be fine and that the whole thing will look nifty. I just want it to be a kick-ass movie!”
