Kevin Feige

Kevin Feige is an American film producer who is best known as the producer of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the highest-grossing film franchise of all time. He has been President of Marvel Studios since 2007. Among his MCU films, Feige has produced the Academy Award for Best Picture-nominated Black Panther and Avengers: Endgame, which is now the highest-grossing film of all time.

An avid Star Wars fan since his days on the USC School of Cinematic Arts, while developing the second slate of films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, collectively known as Phase Two, Feige decided to have at least one character lose any of his/her limbs in each film of the phase as an homage to the 1980 film Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, the second installment of the Star Wars original trilogy.

On September 25, 2019, Feige was announced to be working along with Lucasfilm Ltd. President Kathleen Kennedy on an untitled Star Wars film.
