Well, it speaks to the character of the players more than anything. Bob Myers and his staff have done an incredible job of putting together this roster.

A picture book is a motorcycle: small, loud, fun, and zippy.

I envision the same thing occurring after this movie, because the Avengers roster is altered by the finale of this film.

Adidas has invested so much into this collab and into me.

The nice thing about working for a label like Domino is that there's no pressure: They've got a roster of 40 active bands, and they can bang out an album or single in a week, so it's not the end of the world to not have a Max Tundra album in 2005.
