Kevin Feige is Now the Most Powerful Man at Marvel as its New Chief Creative Officer

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is the most powerful man in the movie industry right now. His success is a direct result of the success of his Marvel Cinematic Universe over the last 11 years, ending with the highest grossing worldwide movie ever in AVENGERS: ENDGAME.

Because of his achievements, he has been rewarded by Disney executives and is officially the Chief Creative Officer of Marvel, as well as maintaining his role as president of Marvel Studios.

Deadline has the exclusive and writes the following breakdown of the new hierarchy structure within Marvel:

"What that means for the brand is that all the company’s key creative executives across film and TV will now report to him, sources said. Already master of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Feige’s oversight will extend to the overall creative direction of Marvel’s storytelling and content creation platforms. As part of this, Marvel TV and animation generator Marvel Family Entertainment will move under Feige’s Marvel Studios banner...

"Here is how the reporting structure will line up right under Feige: Dan Buckley will continue as President of Marvel Entertainment, where Ike Perlmutter remains Chairman. Long a creative collaborator for Feige in publishing and television, Buckley will have a dual reporting structure going forward, Deadline hears. He will continue to oversee publishing creative/editorial and in that capacity he will now report to Feige. Buckley is also responsible for publishing operations, sales, creative services, games, licensing and events. There, he will report to Perlmutter. It is expected that Joe Quesada will remain a creative lead for of Marvel Entertainment, reporting to Buckley. It is expected that all the creative execs in publishing will report to Buckley."
