Here's a bit of the interview from MTV:

"I've actually seen a rough cut of the movie, and it's going to be good," Quesada told MTV News...

"[Don] Cheadle is one of the greatest living American actors, what do you expect?" said Quesada of the actor playing War Machine's alter ego, James "Rhodey" Rhodes, in the blockbuster sequel. "I think fans are going to love it — especially fans of War Machine — and he does kick some major ass."
According to Quesada, African-American characters like War Machine have always had a special place in his heart — though his favorite of the bunch has yet to make his big-screen debut...

Then Quesada offered up some thoughts on how the upcoming, Kenneth Branagh-directed film will be a very different experience than the typical comic book movie.

"I've sat through the story meetings and sat with Branagh," said Quesada. "The character is in tremendous hands. Branagh understand the mythology and what he doesn't understand, he's asking questions about — in particular, the comic book mythology. He's really immersed himself in it. It's going to be pretty epic, and regardless of what you think it's going to be, it's going to surprise people," he added. "It's an interesting piece for a superhero movie. It's going to change the conventions of the superhero movie."

Thanks to MTV for the interview.

Ozy:I cannot wait for this film!
