"I just want to see them explore the characters more," Wein explained in an interview with Rotten Tomatoes. "I think the Japanese Story, if that's where they're going to go—and I imagine they are going there for the next story—is the perfect next choice. It gives you a whole other side of the character and allows you to explore aspects that have never been seen on film before—the noble warrior, as opposed to the berserker."
During the interview, Wein also spoke out about his experiences with Alan Moore while editing the 'Watchmen' comic book series.
"It certainly was a challenge," Wein related. "I have gone on print and online as saying I never liked the ending, I felt it was a bit askew. I thought the ending in the film worked better, but Alan is Alan. You take the good with the bad. You want that work crafted, that ability to sculpt a line like nobody else's business, you put up with mismatched socks and an inability to spell... it works out splendidly!"
