What we love about working at Marvel is they'll have a crazy opening for a movie like 'The Avengers' - like, a record-breaking all-time opening - and you get to the office on Monday, and they don't even have a pizza; it's back-to-work time.

What we do is service a story first, and then you figure out how to pay for it later. If the narrative isn't your primary focus, then the movie is going to become diluted, and you don't have a movie that is as good as it could be, so it probably won't make as much money.

I've seen 'Goodfellas' a hundred times, and one of the things that I take away from that movie is dynamic pacing and energy. I just think that film is sort of a paragon of excellence in filmmaking and the compression of narrative.
