Marvel’s Kevin Feige: The Mastermind Behind Cinematic Universes
As a Marvel enthusiast, you’re likely well aware of Kevin Feige’s unparalleled success as a producer. He’s the driving force behind the creation and expansion of the most successful cinematic universe to date: the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). With studios scrambling to replicate Marvel’s triumph, it’s clear that Feige has set the bar incredibly high. And with plans for the next decade of Marvel already in motion, it’s only natural to wonder what he could do for another beloved franchise: Star Wars.
Star Wars: A Franchise in Need of Revitalization
Star Wars, the only franchise arguably bigger than Marvel, has experienced a downward spiral in recent years. Many fans blame Kathleen Kennedy for the sequel trilogy’s shortcomings, but her success with Disney+ shows like the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series cannot be denied. While these shows may restore some faith in the franchise, Star Wars fans are yearning for a great Star Wars movie to hit theaters once again.
Kevin Feige’s Star Wars Project: A Fresh Approach
Why not bring Kevin Feige on board to produce a Star Wars movie? As it turns out, Disney has already enlisted his talents for a Star Wars project, but like many other Star Wars endeavors, it has struggled to gain traction. This is unfortunate, as the franchise could benefit from a fresh approach, such as focusing on individual stories outside the main continuity.
Kevin Feige’s Star Wars project may offer just that. Michael Waldron, the writer for Feige’s Star Wars film, stepped down as showrunner for Loki’s second season to pen the script. In an interview with Screen Rant, Waldron revealed that the project would not be a direct sequel and would instead present an original idea for the franchise, unconnected to the Skywalker saga. This is a promising development for fans seeking something new.
Moving Beyond the Skywalker Saga
With the Skywalker saga seemingly concluded after The Rise of Skywalker, it’s time for the Star Wars universe to explore new stories and characters. The vastness of the Star Wars universe offers nearly limitless possibilities, and Kevin Feige’s proven track record with the MCU suggests he could be the one to help the franchise regain its former glory.
One potential direction for Feige’s Star Wars project could be the Old Republic, a popular era explored in video games and other media. Disney and Lucasfilm have already attempted to bring this period to the big screen, but the project never entered the development stage. Could Feige’s involvement finally give it the momentum it needs?
A New Hope for Star Wars Fans
Regardless of the direction Feige’s Star Wars project takes, fans should have faith in his ability to deliver a compelling and successful film. While he may not replace Kathleen Kennedy, his involvement in the franchise could be the catalyst for a new era of Star Wars storytelling. And with Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie also on the horizon, there’s plenty for fans to be excited about. Let’s hope these projects don’t end up on the shelf, and instead usher in a new era of Star Wars greatness.
