James Wan praises Marvel Studios for being able to successfully adapt Thor and Captain America on the big screen and make both characters global icons. Gearing up for his own superhero project with Warner Bros.' Aquaman, the director offers some insight into what he believes are the MCU's most surprising hits in its first 10 years of existence.
Speaking with EW as part of the outlet's feature story on Aquaman, Wan candidly shared that he believes Marvel Studios' most surprising hits are Thor and Captain America. ?I actually think the most incredible thing [Marvel] did is making Captain America and Thor accessible to the mainstream - especially outside of the United States. The moment you can make a character called ?Captain America? work in Russia and China, then anything is possible,? he explained.
