Jed McKay's THOUGHTS ON

"Carlos Magno is not afraid of scale. We're talking about the Avengers, here - huge battles, huge threats, huge characters, huge robots. I've been trying to channel that idea in my scripts, and in pretty much every case, Carlos takes those ideas, those images and set pieces and makes them bigger."
