Kevin Feige Defends Accusations On MCU Of Making ‘Too Many Sequels’: ‘Absolute Pillar Of The Industry’

As an obsessed fan, I can’t help but feel elated when hearing Marvel Studios’ head, Feige, share his passion for expanding universes and deepening character stories through sequels. In his own words, “Ever since my early days in the film industry, I’ve been captivated by world-building and revisiting characters.” He continues, “Sequels have always ignited my excitement!”

Feige expresses his appreciation for sequels in the film industry, stating, “I’ve never been jaded or scoffing, as some seem to be now for unexplained reasons. Sequels have been a staple since the 1930s and play a vital role in cinema. For me, they represent continuity and expansion of what I cherish about a story or character.”

Since the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Kevin Feige has spearheaded the production of many successful franchises such as Iron Man, Avengers, and Captain America. However, the MCU has received criticism for its heavy reliance on sequels, leading some to view it as repetitive. The overwhelming amount of superhero content released may have left fans feeling fatigued and yearning for something new.
