I want my own cloak. I mean, that's also up in the air that you know - . I haven't really thought about it because it's you know, really is sort of to be determined. I think the success of the film [Doctor Strange] determines that.

America's men and women in uniform bravely defend our nation and our values. Their skill, dedication, and valor are the envy of the world.
