In recent years there have been relatively persistent rumors that Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has taken an active role in the United States war of stars Franchise. There was a strong belief that the man behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe also led a galaxy far, far away quietly. Feige was finally asked directly about these rumors and gave a factual answer.
Kevin Feige did the press rounds to promote WandaVision, the first live-action scripted MCU series produced for Disney + that premieres this Friday. During a recent interview, the beloved Disney manager was asked about these internet-related rumors war of stars Franchise and whether or not he’s involved beyond the mysterious movie he’s making. Feige did not crush any words.
“Not at all.”
Let’s look at the bigger picture. Kathleen Kennedy has been running the show since Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012. As president of the company, she ran the show war of stars Continued trilogy, as well as spin-offs like Rogue One and the live action series The Mandalorianwhich has become a huge success. It was a hit and miss for a handful of years The Force Awakens to become one of the top grossing films in history. Still, The last Jedi and The rise of Skywalker turned out to be very divisive. Plus, solo is the only flop the franchise has ever suffered. And during The Mandalorian has long been the most popular product in the franchise space. The success was largely attributed to executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni.
It’s no secret that there is a not insignificant contingent of fans who blame Kathleen Kennedy for perceived flaws war of stars suffered under the Disney regime. But Kennedy is still at her job and she doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. In the meantime, Favreau and Filoni will take a more active role, working on the huge list of shows being developed for Disney +. This contains Ahsoka, Rangers of the New Republic, The acolyte, The book by Boba Fett, Andor and Obi Wan Kenobi.
If someone should serve as the creative director at Lucasfilm, Kevin Feige is an obvious choice. What he’s done with the MCU is more than impressive. In just over a decade, he turned Marvel’s superheroes into the world’s greatest entertainment brand, grossing more than $ 20 billion at the global box office. It doesn’t hurt that it’s out loud war of stars Fan.
But his role within the franchise is limited to the mysterious film he is producing and developing. Almost nothing is known about Kevin Feige’s Star Wars film, only this Michael Waldron (Loki, Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness) was recently typed to write the script. Perhaps that’s for the best, because Feige has its hands full with the MCU for at least the next five years or so. This message comes over to us Collider.
