The guy who makes comic book movies says that people will never get sick of comic book movies
), and as you can probably imagine, he feels the same way about the future of superhero movies as Ronald McDonald does about the future of hamburgers. Feige said that, pretty much since his “second year at Marvel,” people have asked him if he thinks comic book movies are a “fad” and if their popularity will last much longer, and he has this understandably optimistic take: I didn’t really understand the question.
Because to me, it was akin to saying after ‘Gone With the Wind,’ ‘Well, how many more movies can be made off of novels? Do you think the audience will sour on movies being adapted from books?’ You would never ask that because there’s an inherent understanding among most people that a book can be anything. A novel can have any type of story whatsoever. So it all depends on what story you’re translating. Non-comic readers don’t understand that it’s the same thing in comics.There’s a little disingenuousness to his response, because the vast majority of comic book movies that have ever been made are superhero movies, and not every movie based on a novel is a Civil War-era epic romance, but he iscorrect. There are other kinds of stories that people could tell with comic book adaptations, but again, “comic book movie” and “superhero movie” tend to be pretty synonymous. Feige went on to say that Marvel has “80 years of the most interesting, emotional, groundbreaking stories that have been told” in comics, and they all have adaptation potential, so it’s just a matter of doing different genres and making different kinds of movies as needed. He believes that, even after all of these years of Marvel movies, audiences will stick around as long as they have “the Marvel Studios logo above the title and a seed of an idea from our publishing history.”All you need to do is sign up with your email and boom: credit for your preorder on a new Samsung device.But again… he is just making superhero movies at this point. Maybe his argument will hold more weight if Marvel Studios starts making rom-coms based on pre-Hellcat Patsy Walker or realEither way, it’s nice to know that the guy who makes superhero movies
