Feiges

The MCU needs to shake things up over the coming years or else the Multiverse Saga will go down as mostly a dud. But luckily Marvel has two aces up its sleeves: the Fantastic Four and Iman Vellani. Alongside the X-Men, Marvel’s First Family is one of the lucrative upcoming properties that could turn the MCU’s fate around — provided everything goes right, that is — while Iman Vellani is being entrusted to lead the next generation of Avengers. But, maybe she deserves to be let loose behind the camera as well. Fantastic…

Now that Marvel has announced it will be skipping this year’s San Diego Comic-Con Hall H event — historically the venue where many future projects and actors are announced — it’s worth discussing just what the implications of this maneuver might be.  One interesting dynamic here is that DC Studios — Marvel’s biggest rival — will now have carte blanche for dominating the headlines for any announcements they make about their soon-to-be-rebooted cinematic franchise. In…

Michael Tullberg/Getty Images Kevin Feige is often referred to as the mastermind behind the entire MCU, and hearing his colleagues explain what it’s like to work with the big boss, you can almost begin to believe it. Even if Marvel Studios fails to rekindle the spark that turned it into such a phenomenon in the first place, the achievement of the MCU is one for the history books. The Infinity Saga, beginning all those years ago with Iron Man, remains the most ambitious overarching narrative in cinema, which…

via Marvel Studios While the title arguably belongs to him seeing as he’s the one who orchestrated the most successful franchise in the history of cinema and built it from the ground up, Kevin Feige has modestly – and not entirely inaccurately – repeatedly named Robert Downey Jr. as the single most important figure in Marvel Cinematic Universe history. It’s very easy to forget the risks that came attached to Jon Favreau’s Iron Man given the overwhelming domination the MCU has exerted over cinema across the last…

Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images for Disney It’s widely agreed that the MCU needs to do something to give it a new lease of life after the franchise has found itself spluttering, both in terms of weakening critical notices and box office gross, in recent years. Disney seems to think going for a “quality over quantity” approach might work, but that wouldn’t exactly do the trick if the fewer Marvel project we get a year are at the level of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Instead, Kevin Feige…

However, at the weekend’s Star Wars Celebration event, the Lucasfilm president offered that the standalone feature hailing from the architect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was never a…

Image via Lucasfilm/Disney Plus Star Wars fans have come to understand that just because a project is announced, there’s no guarantee it’ll actually happen. Yesterday, we learned that yet another high-profile movie won’t happen, though there don’t seem to be too many tears from the fandom about it. In other news, The Mandalorian season three, episode two, “The Mines of Mandalore,” landed today, finally taking us to the ruined home planet of the Mandalorian people and launching a lot of fan speculation on where…

via Marvel Studios The more we learn about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the stranger the picture gets. First, we discover Marvel threw out the movie’s original ending just weeks before it hit cinemas and now we’re finding out something troubling about how the story came together that leaves little to wonder about why it ended up a failure. Elsewhere, theorists wonder if Kang has enemies more powerful than the Avengers out to get him and, speaking of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, one of them is returning sooner…

Image via Marvel Studios Kevin Feige is usually one to simply keep his lips sealed about Marvel secrets instead of actively misleading us but he did just that on one notorious occasion a long time ago. Except the latest rumors of the MCU’s future indicate that he might finally be making good on his promise all these years later. Elsewhere, the inevitable Marvel movie backlash is happening faster than ever this time as Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is already getting called the worst of its trilogy. 10 years…

Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are imagining how they’d steer the franchise if they happened to wake up as Kevin Feige. One Twitter user made it clear they wanted more quality over quantity when it came to MCU TV shows, which includes the Russo Brothers directing Secret Wars, and Nope‘s Keke Palmer starring as the X-Men’s Rouge, among other fresh ideas. 1. Announce no more 6 episode disney plus show format or the 9 ep (30 min long eps.)2. Reduce to one show per year with 9 episodes/season minimum3. Get the Russos to…
