Kevin Feige Says Captain Marvel Will Take the Lead in the MCU

 

[Thome216]

I'm keeping my expectations low, so I'll be happy no matter what!

 

[Patrick77]

I know what you mean, but I've learned to be more confident about the choices in the MCU than most other places, tbh.

Marvel studios tends to exceed my expectations, rather than the opposite, which is pretty unusual.

 

[Thome216]

Dr. Strange level would be great!

And yes, nice to hear again that she'll being taking center in the new Avengers going forward. Really excite about this!

 

[djsunyc]

i think the 3 headed leaders after EG will be panther, marvel and strange.

Kevin Feige Says Captain Marvel Will Take the Lead in the MCU

I'm cool with Captain Marvel becoming the leader of the Avengers, and I know Feige's heart is in the right place, but man, so much of what he says about the character just comes across as cringy aggrandizement. Like, we get it, she's great and awesome and amazing and super powerful and yet still really really human and down to earth and relatable and great. Better to show us that, rather than lay it on thick in press releases while she only has a single decently-good movie to her name.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

love it bring it on!

Although I'm sad to see the old guard move on (pun intended lol), I'm also very excited to see the adventures of those 4 going forward.

Well, I saw all of that in her movie...

 

[Patrick77]

Captain Marvel does seem to bring out Feige's inner fanboy a bit, but I find it endearing.

It's a humanizing element for the otherwise infallible, all-knowing Feige

Good

i think the 3 headed leaders after EG will be panther, marvel and strange.

Yep, me too.

 

[Thome216]

Sad to see the 'old guard' move on, but anxious to see the new Avengers go forth from here.

 

[Iceman]

I hope they’re not all moving on.

I think leader or not everyone will get their chance to shine. I mean BP was a phenomenon as well.

Future looks bright

Seems about right.
I hope that it works out that way.

 

[Mr. Peanut]

The four new pillars of the MCU:

A captain from the past, a guy with fancy high-tech armor, a guy with magic-based abilities, and a science mishap whose rights are shared with another company.

It's like poetry. It rhymes.

Brie Larson.

Literally the only Oscar winner to lead an MCU franchise.

I know... I know... "Oscars don't mean anything!!" (Until of course they do) Still... The actor's awards of the Academy is voted on by guess who? THE OTHER ACTORS. So while you or others may think she is a "weak" performer her peers think otherwise.

If anything, that shows that oscar winners tend not to have the qualities preferred for a lead character in a superhero movie. I mean, there's very little overlap between the kinds of characters that win oscars and the kinds of characters that have mass mainstream appeal.

 

[Web-Head]

People said Chris Evans wasn't a good actor either. Maybe some of these people should watch movies outside of the MCU

 

[Shuri]

And THAT aspect ties into the metaphor of

Spoiler

a woman breaking free of the patriarchal system (and yes, dare I say, even religion) that's designed from every angle to keep her down and from reaching her full potential.

The themes run strong and clear in this one. They just aren't as explicitly spelled out through the dialogue as they are in, say, Black Panther. But it's hardly the paper thin "girl power, yay!" That some seem to take it for.

Probably why this movie resonates more with women. There is no overt sexism in this, just covert sexism that every woman could relate too.
