You could say that Iron Man was a second-tier character, and it turned out very successfully. I simply think it's down to the movie itself, and whether people enjoy the movie, are involved in the movie, and that it entertains them. From that point of view, the movie has to stand alone.

We play with each other and we stimulate each other, and we have to be prepared to be stimulated by the other. That's always my big challenge.
