WithThe Amazing Spider-Manabout to hit Blu-ray, it’s time to look for Easter Eggs andComic Book Moviehas some thoughts on this, partially from the aboveET interviewwithMarc Webb.
In an interview withComic Book Resources,Mark Millargave a bunch of new info onKick-Ass 2, specifically a breakdown of the story between theHit GirlandKick-Ass 2comics :
You can read one and not have to read the other, but when you go and see the movie, it’s basically Hit-Girl for 45 minutes and then an hour ofKick-Ass 2… InKick-Ass 2we just saw [Red Mist] immediately as the Motherf***er, and he had his gang around him. I wanted to show in theHit-Girlseries how that happened – him going out there and committing the world’s first super crime or him going off around the world like a bad Bruce Wayne and learning all this stuff.

In an interview withMoviefone,Sam Mendestalked about how he was pitched to directThe Avengers:
With a lot of these movies, the date’s announced before anything exists, let alone a script. The funniest letter I got — they were sending [a packet for] ‘The Avengers,’ right? For directors to pitch — and I got a package, which was full of comic books, but no treatment; there was no script. But the cover letter said ‘Marvel’s ‘Avengers’ will be released on July 31, 2025’ or whatever it was. That was the first sentence of the cover letter. Not, ‘We have the pleasure of enclosing the materials…" or “Here is the script for…’ But the release date. That was the first sentence.
