On the unprecedented success of Marvel's The Avengers and how no one was predicting such a huge financial windfall [except for Intruder]---
Stan Lee: Oh, I could have told everybody it was going to be this big of a hit! I don't know why they couldn't have predicted it. It couldn't miss! It's got some of the most popular characters in the world today. You put together a great script, a great director, great actors and a cameo by me -- how could it miss?

In response to the notion that he's receiving a portion of the billion dollar box office total---
Lee: I hate to admit this, but I do not share in the movie's profits. I just share in the interviews, in the glamour, in the people saying, "Wow, I love that movie, Stan" -- but I'm not a participant in the profits.

But Lee is listed as an Executive Producer. Surely he receives something---
Lee: Yes, but it's just an honorary title. Well, it would be nice [to receive something]. (laughs) But I'm used to the way the situation is. I don't go around thinking about it. I am really very pleased that people enjoy the movie, that it's doing well, and even though I didn't film the movie myself, I seem to be getting a lot of credit for it! (laughs)

On who he'd like to see next on the big screen---
Lee: I can't wait to see Dr. Strange and The Black Panther.

Stan is then asked whether these films are in the works---
Lee: I have a feeling they very well might be. They're certainly being considered right now.

The one character Stan wishes he had created---
Lee: Well, it would have been nice to come up with Superman! (laughs)

The Avengers is an American superhero film produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name.

With the signing of Scarlett Johansson in March 2009, the film was pushed back for a 2012 release.

Production began in April 2011 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, before moving to Cleveland, Ohio in August 2011 and New York City in September 2011. The film was converted to 3D in post-production.
