The Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics and a superstar illustrator in his own right, Joe Quesada talks to CBR TV about all things Marvel, including the staff's Twitter obsession and what director Kenneth Brannagh has cooking for "Thor."

In this exclusive on-camera interview filmed at New York Comic Con, Quesada discusses with CBR Executive Producer Jonah Weiland why Twitter is Marvel's 21st answer to Stan Lee's classic "Stan's Soapbox" communiques to fans, saying the popular messaging system allows him to answer reader concerns at a rate of thousands at a time. Quesada also details his meeting with "Thor" director Kenneth Brannagh, and what the venerable filmmaker has in mind for Marvel's thunder god. "This is going to be the Marvel Universe on the big screen," he said.
