Not a lot of people are probably aware of this bit but before Kevin Feige assumed the position as Marvel Studios' main man and the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he actually served as producer in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy which successfully ran from 2002 to 2007. This is probably why Feige has always known how to handle Marvel's flagship character and while the portrayals of Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland obviously differ from one another, the entire experience of working on both franchises is fairly similar according to him.



In an interview with CinemaBlend, the MCU patriarch shared exactly what he learned from working with Sam Raimi and how it ended up being beneficial to Marvel Studios' billion-dollar franchise. Feige explains that they shared a common ground in terms of wanting to fulfill not only their personal goals but the fans' dreams if seeing their favorite comic book heroes on the big screen.

He said: "You know, it doesn't feel that different to me. I know the landscape is different, but being on the inside of it, I was there mainly watching and learning on those early Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies."

"And I watched and learned from a group of people that were trying to exceed expectations, and trying to fulfill their own childhood dreams and the childhood dreams of fans of the characters. And that's what we've done on every single film and TV series since then."

The great thing about Kevin Feige that makes him a valuable asset to Marvel is that he's been in touch with the fans since day one. After over a decade since the MCU was established, it still amazes me how he continues to prove that he will always have his finger on the pulse and that's just one of the things that made him a beloved figure in the world of comic book cinema.


Meanwhile, Spider-Man: No Way Home will be released in cinemas on December 17, 2021.
