Albert Hughes muistetaan elokuvistaan From Hell ja The Book of Eli. Hän kertoi aatoksiaan Happy Sad Confused -podcastissa. Hughesin mukaan kukaan oikea elokuvantekijä ei edes harkitse tekevänsä töitä Marvel Studiosin kanssa.
Marvelin työtapa on liian tarkasti ulkoapäin ohjattu. Tosin ihan kaikkiin ohjaajiin tämä ei tunnu pätevän, kuten Taika Waititin ohjaamista elokuvista on nähty.
"I've been in talks with the obvious studio about superhero movies a couple of times, but I always felt uncomfortable because I knew it was a system. And they're very nice, and I went through a long process. In fact, I broke down all their movies and put them in a spreadsheet and broke down the box office, watching the title scores, where the VFX ranks, I had to do a deep dive on them."
"And I got, halfway, not very close, halfway through the process, and I go, 'No, I would implode from the kind of controlled nature of that world and not being able to do what I do.' And I don't understand why a real filmmaker would want to be in that system. I understand why up-and-comers would, which they do a good job of. finding people at the right time. But I think I would implode."
