Over the past decade, Kevin Feige has played an instrumental role in a string of blockbuster feature films adapted from the pages of Marvel comic books, including the hugely successful Spider-Man and X-Men trilogies.

In his current role as a producer and president at Marvel Studios, Feige oversees all creative aspects of the company’s feature film and home entertainment activities.

Feige recently produced two of this summer’s blockbuster movies, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, which are the first fully financed and developed films by the new Marvel Studios. Iron Man, in which Robert Downey Jr. dons the super hero’s powerful armor for director Jon Favreau alongside co-stars Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges, released May 2, 2008 and was an immediate box office success. Garnering the number one position for two weeks in a row, the film brought in over $100 million its opening weekend and currently has a worldwide gross of over $571 million. On June 13, 2008, Marvel released The Incredible Hulk marking its second number one opener of the summer. The film stars Edward Norton along with William Hurt, Tim Roth and Liv Tyler. Director Louis Leterrier’s spectacular revival of the iconic green goliath has grossed over $250 million in worldwide box office receipts to date. Feige is currently producing the next four projects from Marvel Studios including Iron Man 2, Thor, The First Avenger: Captain America and The Avengers. Feige is also executive producer of Marvel Studios’ forthcoming comic book adaptation of X-Men Origins: Wolverine opening May 2009.

Feige previously served as executive producer on the second and third Spider-Man films, which took in combined worldwide box office receipts of well over a billion-and-a-half dollars. The Spider-Man series, starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco, are the three highest grossing superhero films of all time. Feige also co-produced X2: X-Men United, the second installment in the popular X-Men franchise, and executive produced X-Men 3: The Last Stand. Together, the two films, starring Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and Ian McKellen, totaled $866 million in ticket sales worldwide.

Since joining Marvel in 2000, Feige has been involved in key capacities for all of the company’s theatrical film productions. His credits include executive producing Fantastic Four and its sequel 4: The Rise of the Silver Surfer, which together grossed over $600 million worldwide. He also was the executive producer of Ang Lee’s Hulk, starring Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly; Elektra, starring Jennifer Garner; and The Punisher, starring Thomas Jane. Additionally, Feige co-produced the 2003 hit Daredevil starring Ben Affleck.

After graduating from the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television, Feige worked for Lauren Shuler Donner and Richard Donner at their Warner Bros.-based production company. During his tenure there, Feige worked on the action-adventure Volcano and the hit romantic comedy You've Got Mail. Transitioning into a development position, Feige earned his first producer credit on X-Men, a film that is credited with revitalizing the comic book genre. In 2003, Feige appeared on The Hollywood Reporter’s annual “Next Gen” list of 35 top young executives poised to become leaders in the entertainment industry.
