I am playing a superhero for kids, and I don’t want them to think I’m some dirty fool.
I think maybe people see bands and musicians as some sort of superhero unrealistic sport that happens in another dimension where it’s not real people and not real emotions. So, I grew up listening to Beatles records on my floor. That’s how I learned how to play guitar. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be a musician.
I love dressing up in superhero outfits and in fact, when I dress up as Wonder Woman, I actually think that I’m more powerful.
I’ve been a fan of all things Marvel since I was a kid, so now, working with the company and playing a superhero on screen is pretty cool.
I grew up reading a lot of superhero comics, so it’s really fun to take a shot at one myself and see what happens.
It’s something that was very interesting to me to be a part of and all of them again because of the relationship. Some of the superhero movies are better than others.
Nobody is going to love and honor your dreams like yourself. It’s really not looking for someone to be your superhero but for us to save ourselves and to really understand that. I’ve been at the lowest of lowest of my life, and it took that for me to realize that I want to do better and to be better.
I don’t want to look at myself like I’m some superhero. But I’m not going to let people wipe their feet on football on my chest.
Before I went off to Rutgers, I worked in a comic book shop in my hometown. At night, I would work on some comic stories, and after a while, I developed an idea for a weird little superhero spoof comic called ‘Cement Shooz.’
Let’s face it: there aren’t a lot of black superheroes. So, in dealing with a black superhero, you’re going to deal with ugly history and the beauty of history.
I have a long love of superhero films, and I’d been saying over and over again to my agents at CAA that I’d like to do one.
I’m not sure that ‘Iron Man’ is a superhero movie. I think towards the end of the movie, Iron Man pretends to be a superhero – he’s entertained by that notion. I think ‘X-Men’ is a sci-fi movie.
What is a superhero? They’re supposed to represent hope, opportunity, and strength for everybody.
I mean, first of all, let me say whichever superhero first came up with the idea of wearing a cape, he wasn’t really onto anything good. The number of times I’m treading on that damn thing or I throw a punch and it ends up covering my whole head. It’s really not practical.
You don’t have to be a superhero and pull off shots you’ve never hit before. Your goal should be to put yourself in position to play as close to your regular game as possible. That’s what I did in the final round of the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie, when I was in the final pairing with Jordan Spieth.
I’ve learned that being a superhero isn’t all glitz and glamour. We think if we have a special power, our problem will go away. It’s just a new set of problems. Being a superhero alienates you and separates you from humanity. As Spiderman famously said, ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’
Being a superhero is a lot of fun.
I wasn’t a huge fan of superhero movies before I watched ‘Wonder Woman.’ That was a really cool film – I really like all the stunts.
There’s still a part of me that believes what was great about ‘Doctor Who’ in the early days was that you had a superhero who didn’t wear his underpants on the outside of his trousers, who used his brain rather than his brawn.
