Kevin Feige's Star Wars Movies Could Look More Like Star Trek Than Marvel

TThe guy who ordered the ship that has become the Marvel film universe is crossing a galaxy far away. Late Wednesday, the news was announced that Kevin Feige, producer and president of Marvel Studios, will work with Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy on at least one new Star Wars movie. But what will this project consist of? And will Marvel's influence turn Star Wars into a series of superhero movies? According to what Feige has said over the years, it is likely that his vision of Star Wars would be inspired by the other Huge space franchise – Star Trek – more than any Marvel movie.

Ok, Feige is a big fan of Star Wars. It's pretty clear. He talks about Star Wars in interviews and, in 2018, The Star Wars show had it on just before War of Infinity fall. In this interview, Feige was a big fan of the ancient, extensive Star Wars universe and declared that he had been playing with his Star Wars toys a little longer than other kids.

But … when you consider Feige's approach to character bows and big stories in the Marvel film universe, he talks a lot more about Star Trek than Star Wars. In 2017, Feige said at once Iron Man 3 a Thor: Ragnarok borrowed from Star Trek III: The search for Spock.. And then, in 2018, in response to critics claiming that more superheroes would not have died in Marvel films, Feige used a long analogy about Star Trek: the new generation to emphasize his point of view on what makes a strong distribution overall.

"I speak a lot, because I'm a big nerd, about Star Trek: the new generation, "All good things". This is for me one of the best series finals of all time. It was not about death. Picard went to play poker with the team, which he should have done a long time ago, is not it?

There is also the fact that Feige brought back a ridiculously minor character from Star Trek IV: The trip home for a unique cameo scene in Spider-Man: Homecoming. If on. He loves Star Wars, but I bet Feige is an even bigger Star Trek guy. Which, if you're a fan of Star Trek, is great news. That's because – spoiler alert – Star Trek is slightly over clever than most other big science fiction franchises. I do not say better, but as Rainn Wilson said, Star Trek is more "contemplative" than Star Wars.

Feige is a guy who thinks not only about building hardcore worlds, but about characters and their travels. That's why the Feige Trek group can be even better news for Star Wars fans. We do not want (and we do not need) Kevin Feige that Star Wars movies look like Marvel movies, or even existing Star Wars movies. At best, the next version of Star Wars has to turn things around. He has to explore the foreign, stranger corners of this galaxy, with characters that feel New. Before 2008, little kids would never say that their favorite Marvel hero was Thor or Iron Man. At the time, Spider-Man and the X-Men were much more famous. But Feige has proven to be good at outsiders and outsider stories, and Marvel and Trek share the same goal: to make ordinary people extraordinary through their own choices rather than fate. There is no "choice" and fate is something you can really mess with if you're not careful.

The new Star Wars trilogy has helped bring new faces into a complex world, but they have always played the role of second place. According to rumors, there is a Star Wars character that Feige wants to bring back. according to SlashFILM: "A knowledgeable source says that Feige told a major actor that he would like this person to play a specific role if he makes the film." No matter who this character is or who will end up playing it, Feige brings a bold (and deeply nerd) energy to new Star Wars projects. If J.J. Abrams is like Iron Man and Kathleen Kennedy is like Captain America, Kevin Feige is probably somewhere closer to Vision. He is a guy from different influences and wears his geek heart on his sleeve. More importantly, he takes risks, which means that he will not necessarily do what everyone thinks he's doing. should do.

Because really, Star Wars needs a bold leap forward. The fan service will not work anymore. We need Star Wars: The Next Generation, and maybe a not-so-closed Trekkie, is he the guy who can get there.
