Marvel Studios has made a number of changes to its plans recently. Sometimes it’s out of indecision, sometimes it’s out of genuine necessity. The biggest recent example is not casting Kang as the multiverse saga’s villain, instead opting for Iron Man veteran Robert Downey Jr. to play Doctor Doom, because things are mostly bleak right now. Meanwhile, on the TV side, we’re still stuck with head-scratching shows like The Vision.
Recently, Inverse had the chance to sit down and chat with Feige ahead of the record-breaking theatrical release of Deadpool and Wolverine. The entire conversation is very informative and well worth reading, but one thing worth noting is the studio’s recruiting process.

In most cases, the big Hollywood studios either accept proposals or have an idea developed in-house that they want to convince filmmakers and producers to tackle. In the case of Vision (or White Vision, as fans distinguish the character from the regular, dead Vision), Marvel boss Kevin Feige himself appears to be enjoying Star Trek: Picard Following Terry Matalas after the packaging method.
“That’s how I got to know him…it was because of his incredible work on Picard Season 3. I said: This is incredible. I don’t know how this exists. Let me Find the person who made this,” he explained. Looking at the Rotten Tomatoes critic and audience scores, it’s clear that Picard bounced back from the third and final installment, perhaps because it doubled down on its core character and paid so much respect to The Next Generation’s legacy ( At least according to most fans). Regardless of how you feel about the show as a whole, the new direction seems to be finally working, so it makes sense that Feige would want to pick apart Matalas’ brain after hosting the show’s second and third seasons.
As Inverse’s Ryan Britt points out, Feige’s love for Star Wars has never gone unnoticed, so it’s no surprise that he’s trying to bring in creatives from Paramount’s ongoing TV expansion of the iconic sci-fi series , especially at the same time that many of Disney+’s Marvel shows are also in trouble. What happens next in that space? Well, another spinoff, WandaVision: Agatha All the Time . Despite some recent comments about wanting to slow down the Marvel machine a little, we haven’t seen much sign of that changing yet.
