Kevin Feige's Early Life

Kevin Feige was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He grew up in Westfield, New Jersey. He moved to New Jersey when he was three years old. He lived there until he graduated from Westfield High School at age eighteen.

His grandfather, Robert E. Short, was a TV producer in the 1950s. He worked on popular soap operas like The Guiding Light.

Kevin Feige's Career in Movies

Feige started his career as an assistant. He worked for executive producer Lauren Shuler Donner. This was for films like Volcano (1997).

For the first X-Men movie in 2000, Donner made Feige an associate producer. This was because he knew a lot about the Marvel Universe. He impressed Avi Arad and was hired by Marvel Studios that same year.

In the mid-2000s, Feige realized something important. Even though characters like Spider-Man and the X-Men were used by other film companies, Marvel still owned the rights to the main Avengers characters. He had a big idea: to create a shared universe for these characters. This was just like how Stan Lee and Jack Kirby did it in their comic books.

Feige became the president of production at Marvel Studios in March 2007. After Iron Man was a huge success in May 2008, he was promoted. He became the president of Marvel Studios.
