Damon Lindelof: "It'd Be A Dream To Make A Marvel Movie"

The Tomorrowland, Prometheus and Lost scribe says he'd be up taking on The Avengers et al...

Friday, May 22, 2015 - 13:42

In case you hadn't noticed, the Marvel movies are a bit of a big deal. Not only do they now take up a third of the Top 10 Grossing Movies Of All Time list, but its latest - Avengers: Age of Ultron - has just skipped past the $1bn haul mark.

So given the chance to chat to one of Hollywood's hottest writers, Damon Lindelof - he of Lost, Prometheus and now Disney's Tomorrowland - we couldn't help but ask if he'd ever be tempted to get involved with another franchise in the Disney stable.

While he was cautiously tactful, his enthusiasm for the movies shone through. Not only that, but we quizzed director Brad Bird on whether he'd be interested in broadening out from his adventures with The Incredibles to play with the Avengers.

Tomorrowland is out now.
