“There’s a very personal relationship that develops between the audience and these franchises, with the comics and their characters. This is why we want to do justice to these heroes, but we also want to honor this passion. And here we are, there is no doubt about this aspect, and I understand how all this is possible. The eighty years of this franchise has allowed, and I say this referring to the present, for people to trust these characters, I know them. They can place their trust in them, especially at a time when they choose to trust everything. There are probably people who struggle to trust something, but they know where they can find themselves in these stories. I believe they are extremely important for this very reason. I think that’s why people are able to trust them, it’s not a trivial thing, it’s a result that also involves responsibilities “
