Unblinded with Sean Callagy · How Iron Man Saved Marvel: David Maisel Shares the Real Story with Sean Callagy · 21 May 2026 podcast

They didn't navigate going from paid games to free games in the way other competitors did.

and the brand wasn't cool anymore.

And so that for me was gratifying because it was another surprise and doing it again.

But then after 2016, and actually after the sale of Marvel,

I got approached with everything.

You know, Kate, can you help us with this to become a universe?

And said no to everything because it didn't meet what I really thought it would be.

And then I was fortunate, which we can get into later, to find something that James Cameron really loved and my favorite comic book artist who I collected.

And when James Cameron stepped aside, I was able to grab it.

And that's what I'm working on now.

So you have to have the fundamental pieces in place, but then it's a lot of decisions and a lot of vision that

that have to be done.

It's not as complicated as Elon's spaceships, which he famously talks of that there's like 20,000 things that have to go right on any space launch.

And if one of them doesn't, the whole thing falls apart.

And it's not as complicated as that, but to go from the IP to something that's a new worldwide mythology or something that people really love in that deep way requires a lot, a lot of decisions.

And one of them you raised earlier, like how do you take something that's got dedicated fans and make them happy, at the same time bring it to the world?

And so with Iron Man,

we made it a love story with 10 minutes of action.

And it was like an old-fashioned love story, like from the 50s, where two people love each other, but they won't admit it, you know, Robert Downey and Gwyneth Paltrow.

And you're an audience saying, kiss already, you know?
