I don't believe any group of IP, no matter how talented the producer or the visionary is, can become what Marvel became, a cinematic universe.

There's elements that need to be in it.

And I like to combine analytics with creativity.

And this is an important point because in my specter of Hollywood,

you as a Harvard MBA, you are viewed as the suit, as the business.

And if you talk creative, you're out of your your arena.

And if you're a creative person and you talk about business, you're like diminishing your creative magic that people might trust in you.

I love both.

And I was known because I came front with my Harvard MBA and I got my first job because of that with Mike Ovitz as

that guy, right?

The business guy.

And in fact, when I was at Disney, I was with Kevin Mayer, our mutual friend in corporate development and strategic planning, right?

And I knew that creatively was really where my passion was.

And the only way I could do both analytics and creative was to have my own studio and make myself chairman.

So the reason I had the thought to do Marvel Studios was I wanted to solve that puzzle.

And then secondly, I knew I could try to become studio chairman.

They're the only people that can be whatever they want to do because they're the boss.

And I could work my way up one of the six studios, but that would take 20 years.

And more importantly, I would have lost my soul.

I would have had to become a different person.
