Marvel boss Kevin Feige would not fear about “pleasing everybody”

Marvel Studios has had an astounding monitor file of essential and business success throughout the final 11 years, making movies that hardcore followers completely adore with out falling into the lure of leaning too closely on fan service in lieu of a plot (one thing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker discovered the arduous manner).

The trick to getting it proper, says Kevin Feige, is to hearken to the followers – but in addition know what’s going to and will not work within the context of a coherent film, whereas throwing a couple of curveballs to maintain issues attention-grabbing, even in the event you assume it is one thing the hardcore followers will not like.

The followers aren’t the filmmakers, in any case.

Speaking as a part of a Q&A on the New York Film Academy, the MCU boss stated: “It can turn out to be, ‘Oh, if we thought an excessive amount of about it, if we thought an excessive amount of about pleasing everyone about every little thing, we collapse right into a fetal place and by no means do something’.

Killing half of your heroes as an example.

“But, it’s true that we all the time make the movies with the intention of them working for individuals who have watched each different movie we have made and for individuals who’ve by no means seen one among our films. Yes, with Infinity War and Endgame, it will get more durable at that time however we take a look at display screen all of our films.

“Test screenings are horrible, they’re painful, they’re terrible. All these people who aren’t making movies [saying], ‘They look good, I’ll give you my opinion’. And you sit in the back and I pull my hat down, and I listen. Because, there are things you don’t see.”
