I found myself in my driveway, texting with Kevin Feige, back and forth, about what this program could be. The next day the wheels were in motion and we were on our way to do this.

“I think that was important to all of us. It is an anthology, and part of the aspect of being an anthology, just like The Twilight Zone. In the past, you never know what you are going to get. You might get an episode that’s comedic, you might get an episode that’s dramatic and serious, or super emotional or action-packed. We all love movies. We all love movies. We love all those genres. This gave us the opportunity to apply a small sample of a variety of genres in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maybe one can go a little darker, or it can become even more fun. Having that kind of variation is written in the book itself. What if this? What if that? When things are so different, so weird, and so crazy, just open the floodgates and we can do whatever we want. It was very stimulating to be able to play that way“, He asserted.
