Summary
- Before the MCU, Marvel Studios had limited control over movies based on Marvel characters, frustrating Kevin Feige.
- Movie deals for licenses meant Marvel characters were in limbo, with someone else controlling them.
- Feige disliked not having control over Marvel characters and their creative direction.
Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios had little input in Marvel all the movies based on Marvel characters, and that frustrated Kevin Feige. Now, most Marvel characters are available for the MCU to use.
On the MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios book, Marvel Studios producer David Maisel and president Feige revealed their issues with pre-MCU movies. Check out the full quotes below:
“Maisel: Your character is in limbo and somebody else controls it. When you make a movie deal for a license, you’re freezing animation, you’re freezing a lot of other things. You’re handing over your babies to somebody, and nothing happens.
Feige: We suggested but they didn’t listen. We didn’t have the control. I hated that.”
