“It’s not our goal to take a bit out of Marvel,” the Jumanji star added before applauding Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, stating that what Feige has done is “unbelievable.” He went on to quote that:

“And by the way, I love those guys. They are all my friends. And they have been largely responsible for the economic dynamism of our company for nearly two decades. We don’t want to be Marvel. We want to be DC. And how we do things. So that’s what I want. I don’t want to bite that apple. I want to catch a new apple. And I want to create from there.
