‘The Marvels’ Director Discusses What Kevin Feige is Really Like…
He has been the man in charge of one of the biggest film enterprises in the history of the film industry, and with so much influence, The Marvels director Nia DaCosta discusses what Kevin Feige is really like to work with and to work for.
Since 2008, there are a few arguments to be made that the Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn’t blossomed into one of the most successful film franchises in the history of the industry.

Not only is the massive Cinematic collection containing some of the best films that blockbuster films can offer, but it is a franchise of several franchises, with characters all crafting their very own saga, until they intertwine with other characters in the same position.
It has been well over a decade, and the man who has seemingly become the face of this franchise is Kevin Feige, the producer who became the head of the entire show, and has been the throughline behind the immense success of these films.

But with all of these films and all of the successes, there will always be the questions of just what he is like behind closed doors; in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, The Marvels director Nia DaCosta discussed what Kevin Feige is really like to work with and to work for.
DaCosta stated, “I’ve been a huge Marvel fan for the longest time, loved the movies, and so I always knew I wanted to be part of the universe. Well, you know what surprised me is that Kevin Feige is a good person.”

She continued, “Because you always think that he rules over this entire empire, he must be, like, you know. Literally, all my friends are in the Marvel universe, I was like, ‘just tell me he’s a bad person won’t take the movie,’ And they like, ‘no he’s kind of great actually, he just really loves his job,’…”
It is very interesting to hear just how much DaCosta, and those he communes with, have confirmed that Fiege is the perfect man in charge of what goes down behind all of the success at Marvel Studios.
