Quote:

"I dug it," Stanford said of director Bryan Singer's 2000 "X-Men" adaptation. "I never read too many comic books when I was growing up but I think everyone loved Wolverine, you know what I'm saying? I was pretty into him, too."

"I just got a package from Marvel in the mail," Stanford said. "The thing is, the character of Pyro is so completely different. In the comic book he's this Australian ex-pulp novelist professional criminal and in the movie it's a very different character."

"I think it's going to be exciting." On doing X-Men 2
