Publicists Name Marvel Studios Kevin Fiege “Motion Picture Showman Of The Year”

Deadline reports that Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige has been named as “Motion Picture Showman Of The Year” by the Publicists of the International Cinematographers Guild. If you’re somehow unfamiliar with that name, since joining Marvel in 2000, Feige has overseen all of the creative aspects of the company’s film productions. He became President of Marvel Studios in 2007 and most recently produced Marvel’s The Avengers, which was the biggest movie of the year.

Feige will be honored at the 50th Annual Awards Luncheon on February 22nd. Awards committee chairman Henri Bollinger stated:

“Kevin Feige’s understanding and appreciation of publicity and promotion in the role of a movie’s success has led to a string of blockbuster feature films adapted from the pages of Marvel comic books during the past ten years.”

It’s truly a well deserved award and congratulations on winning it Mr. Feige.

“I LOVED that in comics, you could read all your individual heroes and you could follow their adventures, then every few years there’d be a crossover event that would bring them all together, in one book.

Then they’d go their separate ways again, have their own adventures, and a few years later, they’d get back together again.

I want to replicate that in movies.”
