Joe Quesada Talks Spider-Man 4,Captain America and Deapool Movies
Marvel Comics editor-in-chief and Big Apple Comic-Con guest of honor Joe Quesada hosted his very own question-and-answer panel at the New York City-based convention this past weekend.
"I love doing these Q&A's," Quesada said at the panel's outset. "This is your time to ask questions about what it's like working at Marvel and what it's like to be editor-in-chief--all that sort of stuff. This is as good a time as you guys make it."
Given the vast amount of con-goers in attendance at the panel, a good time was all but a certainty. But the first fan question, which dealt with the subject of Disney's pending purchase of Marvel Entertainment, unfortunately required a firm "no comment." Quesada took the opportunity to say that while he couldn't discuss any aspects of the possible merger, interested fans should check out the recent Cup O' Joe column where he discussed the Disney deal in as much detail as legally possible.
The next string of questions touched on another topic that Quesada couldn't speak to, but not for any particular legal reasons. A fan wanted to know if Quesada could give an update on "Spider-Man 4," but as Sony and not Marvel Studios handles that film franchise, Quesada had no insight to share except for a show of support: "I'm the biggest Sam Raimi fan in the world, so I can pretty much guarantee that it'll be damn good."
Sticking with Hollywood, Quesada offered a brief update on "The First Avenger: Captain America," with which he's had some involvement. "I've seen a couple of outlines and an initial screenplay, and it's going to rock everyone's socks off," he said. "It's very unexpected, the kind of movie it is." Quesada added that "Captain America" sets up "The Avengers" in "a fantastic way" and also mentioned that there is an undisclosed wish list of actors to play the star-spangled superhero.
A young fan wanted to know why Deadpool is suddenly so prominent in Marvel Comics. "People want to read about him," Quesada said. "He's incredibly popular right now. Deadpool is going through a renaissance!"
