“It didn’t work out, I think for a series of reasons, but the reason I did it was simply because I had never done one before,” he said. “I think honestly, if you are going to make a superhero movie, you have to be a little in that world, you know what I mean? You have to be excited about it. You have to have a history where you are part of that world and you have been involved in that thing. And I wasn’t, ”he said.
