On How Disney Taking Over Marvel Has Opened Up Many New Doors:

"Marvel would never have considered doing television in the past. It’s an expensive endeavor, and unless you have a network, it’s not the most efficient thing for a company like Marvel to do. Well, now being part of the Disney family, we are part of the network. That now opens up all sorts of new roads for us in live action television and animation. There are other things in the works, too, that become available to us by virtue of being part of this incredibly large family."


On His Collaboration With Marvel Studios On Thor:

"As we developed "Thor" from inception of idea to outline to screenplay and now becoming a fully-realized movie—we’re sitting at a screening in about 10 days, and at that screening we’ll do exactly what we do when we look at an almost finished outline for a big Marvel crossover where we’ll sit there and say "that’s working, that’s not working, how about this" and throw around ideas and try to get it into the best possible shape it can be before it hits the eyeballs of fans everywhere. This morning I woke up, I worked on a couple of "Ultimate Spider-Man" scripts, making notes for those, making plans for my trip to Los Angeles in two weeks where I’ll be watching a screening of "Thor" and dealing with some other "Avengers" movie-related things."


On The Ultimate Spider-Man Animated Series:

"We’re working feverishly now on this incredible "Ultimate Spider-Man" cartoon, which is just going to knock people’s socks off. We sit there in a room full of writers, very much like our creative summits for comics and we hammer out stories. It’s me, Brian Bendis, Jeph Loeb, the Men of Action, Paul Dini, and we’re sitting there batting around ideas and it’s really no different than putting together a comic book. The only difference is that instead of dealing with 22 pages, you’re dealing with 22 to 24 minutes. So that doesn’t change, it’s the same process. Same thing now as we’re trying to develop television ideas, batting around ideas for shows and projects. It’s all collaborative. There’s nobody who says "It’s that project or nothing at all."

Ditto to LEEE. I don't see how they could top Sepctacular Spider-man, except maybe visually. Story/Character wise they can only match it.

Mass: a continuation of Spectacular? That WOULD be cool! The art is similar, as is the portrayal of the characters shown.

@ArrionShadow, Those are actually old concept models for Spectacular before the designs were finalized.

i hope the animation looks nothing like the Pics from "ArrionShadow". Parker looks like street kid high on crack. i wished the animation is nothing like Spectacular Spiderman, they should take reference from DC animations and make something as detailed in the character designs.
