Quotes
Ravi Ahuja
Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman and CEO
“The movie itself is very emotional … So a little bit different from what some of the more recent superhero movies have been. Still very much a superhero movie — there are a lot of big action scenes. It’s a lot of fun. But it’s emotional. Some people come away crying, so that is something clearly that resonated with the audience.””
