Marvel’s Kevin Feige on ‘Spider-Man’s’ Future

Media Release

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is on one heck of a run. Each of the company’s 14 films over the past eight years has opened in first place at the domestic box office, and they’ve brought in more than $10 billion globally. That success is a boon for Disney CEO Bob Iger, who led the $4 billion acquisition of the comic-book empire Marvel Entertainment in 2009. But it’s Feige who is credited with Marvel’s signature style — a blend of humor, optimism, and spectacle that has attracted legions of fans…

Walt

Spider-Man: Homecoming has assembled a very talented and diverse group of young actors, but outside of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, no one cast has much in common with their comic book counterparts. That’s particularly the case with those we know are playing Liz Allen, Ned Leeds, and Flash Thompson, so when it was seemingly revealed that Zendaya is actually going to be revealed as Mary Jane Watson, no one was particularly surprised (though an awful lot of people were very upset). In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actress…

There were mystical threats and magical characters that needed…
