While at the Saturn Awards this week, Black told Collider that the film will retain the 1930s setting of the stories. He also spoke about his love for the character:
"We’re shooting it as though it’s in the 30s, including all the Capra-esque elements of 1930s films like You Can't Take It with You, The idea of ‘What if Jimmy Stewart were a stone-cold killer?’ basically. It’s that kind of combination which we enjoy. Doc Savage is a personal film to me. It’s a 1930s pulp character so it hasn’t been around for 75 years or so, but people if they’re introduced to it they’ll get to know, hopefully, what I came to love as a kid. I’ve read those series for 43 years and always wanted to figure out how to crack it."
