Kevin Feige (pronounced ''FY-ghee''; born June 2, 1973 in Boston, Massachusetts), [[UsefulNotes/UnionsInHollywood pga]], is an Oscar-nominated American film {{producer|s}} best known for his work as the head of Creator/MarvelStudios and overseer of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

He has produced every film of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. He's often credited for the MCU's successes, which have since spawned many [[FollowTheLeader similar efforts]] from other studios releasing their own major SharedUniverse franchises, including Marvel Studios' [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse main rival]]. (Ironically enough, he used to be roommates with DC's Creator/GeoffJohns, who has been involved with the development of several of Creator/DCFilms projects; the two remain good friends.) Prior to his work at Marvel Studios, he was also a credited producer on pre-MCU Marvel movies such as the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'', Creator/SamRaimi's ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'', ''Film/{{Daredevil}}'' and ''Film/{{The Punisher|2004}}''.

Feige could be considered BornLucky, or at least someone who consistently managed to be in the right place at the right time to pull something as ambitious as the Marvel Cinematic Universe off. His producing career was kickstarted at a time when superhero movies had a niche appeal and were just about to get a huge boost in profile from the first few ''X-Men'' and ''Spider-Man'' movies, which he was involved with in making thanks to an internship with Creator/RichardDonner and his wife, Lauren Shuler-Donner -- an internship that eventually introduced him to Avi Arad, who was in charge of Marvel's movies at the time and went to Feige for knowledge of the source material. Feige then took the reins of Marvel Studios after Arad, who had started development on the first two films of the MCU, stepped down from the company, thereby giving him creative control over what would soon become the biggest movie franchise ever. ''Iron Man'' was a breakout hit, but the MCU would really take off with the release of ''The Avengers'', which vastly overperformed and became the third-highest-grossing movie of all time at the time of release.

Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

He has produced every film of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. He's MCU and is often credited for the MCU's successes, which have to the extent of eventually becoming a brand unto himself; starting with ''Series/Hawkeye2021'', each MCU project is now billed as "A Kevin Feige Production" to show fans that he had a hand in guiding the final result. The critical and commercial prospering of the MCU has since spawned many [[FollowTheLeader similar efforts]] from other studios releasing their own major SharedUniverse franchises, including Marvel Studios' [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse main rival]].

Most notably, the franchise produced ''Film/BlackPanther2018'' which became the first superhero film nominated for Best Picture, with Feige earning the nomination for the first time. Though it lost the main award, it won three Academy Awards for Costume Design, Original Score and Production Design -- the most ever for any superhero film.

Thanks to the sheer amount of success he is responsible for, Feige eventually became a brand unto himself. Starting with ''Series/Hawkeye2021'', each MCU project is now billed as "A Kevin Feige Production" to show fans that he had a hand in guiding the final result.

In 2019, Creator/Lucasfilm announced that Feige will produce a ''Franchise/StarWars'' spin-off movie, which would've seen him collaborate with industry legend Creator/KathleenKennedy and marked the first time he worked on a non-Marvel film as a major producer. However, the film was later canned in 2023.

Kevin Feige is also taking his first step into a larger world with a ''Franchise/StarWars'' spin-off, which will see him collaborate with industry legend Creator/KathleenKennedy. This marks the first time that he has ever worked on a non-Marvel film as a major producer, though he previously served as an associate producer for a handful of smaller movies that the Donners were involved with.
