Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, has said that he “hated” how Marvel didn’t have creative control over the pre-MCU films made by other studios.
Kevin Feige hated Marvel
In the new book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige is quoted as saying:
We suggested, but they didn’t listen. We didn’t have the control. I hated that.
This is understandable, as Kevin Feige is a passionate fan of Marvel characters and stories. He wanted to see them done right on screen, but he often felt like he was powerless to stop the other studios from making changes that he didn’t agree with.
One example is the 2003 film Hulk. Feige and his team wanted to make a more faithful adaptation of the comic book character, but the studio insisted on making changes that made the film more commercial. As a result, the film was not well-received by critics or fans.
Another example is the 2005 film Fantastic Four. Feige wanted to make a more grounded and realistic film, but the studio insisted on making it more lighthearted and family-friendly. As a result, the film was also not well-received by critics or fans.
Feige’s frustration with the lack of creative control over the pre-MCU films is one of the reasons why he was so determined to make the MCU a success. He wanted to create a shared universe where Marvel characters could interact with each other and tell stories that were faithful to the source material.
The MCU has been a massive success, and it is now the highest-grossing film franchise of all time. Feige’s creative vision has been key to that success. He has a deep understanding of Marvel characters and stories, and he is committed to making films that fans will love.
