Below is a brief excerpt from an interview Miss Fox did with Collider.
I asked people on Twitter for questions and one of the questions that came up a number times was if you were interested in doing another comic book property.
Fox: Yeah. I love comic books. I just do. I think they’re fun movies. Even when they make them into movies and the movies aren’t great – I still think they’re fun and I will watch them every time I go to a hotel. That’s where Brian knows to go right into Action/Adventure and to find the comic book movies. There’s something about that. I don’t think that little kid ever grows up in any of us. It’s just exciting to watch something that you read your whole life come to life – even if they don’t do a great job.
What comics are you possibly reading now and what did you think about Thor, X-Men: First Class, and Captain America?
Fox: I saw some of them. I didn’t see X-Men, but everyone said it was so great. I was afraid to see it because I was like, “No way that it is going to be that good.” But everyone said that it was amazing. My assistant is actually a young guy. He is a couple of years older than me and he is a super nerd. He said that it was good and I believe him because all he does all day is…like he rereads the Harry Potter books every summer. He has read them like a hundred times and he goes to Orlando by himself to go to Harry Potterland or whatever it is called. So he said that it was amazing, but I haven’t gotten around to seeing it yet. I like them even when they are not great. I have seen some that are not great, but I am not going to name them. But I’m sure you know some of the ones. I just think they are fun popcorn movies and I think it brings your childhood to life. I think there is always going to be a place for them. They are such an escape for people.
What is the most research you have done for a role? Do you do a lot of research or do you not?
Fox: It depends on the role, obviously. Something like Mary Jane (Note: Her character in Friends With Kids, not Mary Jane Watson) – there is not a lot to research there. That are some of the growing pains that most people feel through their teenage years and their early 20s. But with some characters there is a fair amount of other film studying, people watching, and etc..
This is just a brief excerpt from the interview. She actually goes on in detail about her new movie playing at TIFF, her love for playing Halo on Xbox 360, and her role in the upcoming Judd Apatow comedy "This is 40".
Oh, and in case you missed it the first time, here's a slideshow gallery showcasing the provocativeness Miss Fox is famous for. Enjoy!
