Kevin Feige is definitely familiar to every fan of comics and films from "Marvel". He is a film producer who has managed to radically change the approach to filming film comics and brought this industry to a new level.
Kevin Faige, the future famous producer, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He was born on June 2, 1993. However, when he was still very young, the family moved to New Jersey. As a result, Kevin's childhood and adolescence were spent in Westfield.
Feige received his basic education at Westfield High School. After that, he set his sights on going to the University of Arts and Film in Southern California. However, with higher education, things did not turn out so smoothly. For a long time they did not want to accept him as a student. As a result, Kevin was admitted to the university only for the sixth time. Lauren Shuler Donner, who at that time was a film and television producer, became his mentor and the person with whom Feige had an internship during his studies.
Since childhood, Kevin Feige has been interested in comics and the film industry. This passion for cinema was greatly supported by his grandfather, Robert Short. The fact is that for a long time he was a producer of television series, in particular, he worked on such shows as "World of Light".
Career development in the film industry
After graduation, Lauren Donner invited the young and very promising Feige to become her assistant. Kevin readily agreed. He worked on such projects as "Letter to you", "Volcano".
Gradually, gaining experience in the film industry, Feige moved on to the position of second producer. In this capacity, he worked with Donner on the film X-Men. It is not for nothing that it was this project that allowed Kevin to move so rapidly up the career ladder. His knowledge in the field of comics was extensive, because Donner and ventured to entrust him with such a serious role. As a result, the picture turned out to be very successful, and the main principle of Feige's further work with film comics was the idea that the cinema should be as close as possible to the original source.
The next breakthrough in Feige's career was that after the release of "X-Men" he became interested in Marvel Studios. Avi Arad, who at that time held a leading position at the studio, paid special attention to the young and self-confident producer. After short negotiations, at the beginning of 2000, Feige was accepted into the studio, where for six years he successfully worked on various film comics.
When Avi Arad stepped down as head of Marvel Studios in 2006, Kevin Feige quickly took over. He was able to take film comics to the next level, working either as an executive producer for a film, then as a co-producer of films. As a result of his fruitful work, representatives of the New York Times newspaper in 2011 awarded him the title of the most influential person in modern cinema.
In 2018, Kevin Feige received an award from KinoNews in the category "Best Newsmaker". At the moment, his biography contains more than 50 paintings on which he successfully worked.
Personal life and family
Kevin Feige has been happily married for several years. His wife has nothing to do with the film industry, but works in the field of medicine. One child was born in this family - a girl.
