GQ a interviewé
Michael Waldron sur Loki, et en a profité pour lui poser deux questions sur son rapport avec
Kevin Feige et son approche de Star Wars :
Speaking of working with different collaborators—whether it be Sam Raimi or Dan Harmon—you’ve also spent a lot of time with Kevin Feige with Loki, Doctor Strange, and now this Star Wars movie the two of you are working on. How has the collaborative process between the two of you grown and evolved over these three different projects?
"It’s very early days on [Star Wars]. That’s probably the thing I can say least about, unfortunately. The thing Kevin Feige shares in common with Dan Harmon and with Sam Raimi is an absolute collaborative spirit and a remarkable lack of ego given what he’s accomplished. Kevin is a great listener. He wants to hear your ideas, take in how you might do something, and then help you make it better. Beyond all that, he’s just a cool guy."
What lessons have you learned from your time at Marvel that you're looking to apply to Star Wars?
"I think the success of the MCU is, for all the amazing science-fiction and concepts and all that stuff; ultimately the success is built upon the characters, their humanity, their very relatable conflicts, friendships, and the family that is the MCU. And I think Star Wars, at its best, is a story about family. Han, Luke, and Leia were a family; you love seeing them together, and you hated it when they were split apart. It’s great characters. That’s nothing new. I am not going to blow anybody’s mind with that headline—but that’s my biggest takeaway."
