Kevin Feige loves Ronda Rousey’s Captain Marvel social media campaign

“I love it,” he told me of Rousey’s campaign during an interview at Los Angeles’ Hero Complex Gallery promoting the October 2nd Blu-ray release of Avengers: Age of Ultron. “That happens occasionally, and I think that’s a testament more to the strength of the characters.”

He reflected, “Going back to my early days at Marvel, there were always various people campaigning to be Wolverine. I guess that was pre-Twitter and pre-Internet days, but still for some reason would pop up in Wizard Magazine. Wizard Magazine would always have ‘this person wants to play this role!’ It’s a testament to how great the characters are that it appeals to such a wide range of talented, talented people.”
