In almost any endeavor, being right enough times provides you sufficient capital to take on bigger risks in spite of the higher stakes that come with them. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige — the guy who shepherded the most successful movie franchise in the world into existence and who’s been a producer attached to every MCU movie all the way back to the beginning — put that principle to the test early on. Back around the time of the first Avengers movie, in fact, which came out in 2012.
The MCU was starting to establish a solid base of fans for the movies about comic book heroes at the same time it was starting to attract a knock that showed no signs of going away anytime soon: The stars seemed to be all white guys. In a little-known behind-the-scenes moment, however, Feige was already laying the groundwork for that to change. Paving the way, as a matter of fact, for future heroes like Black Panther and Captain Marvel to get their time to shine in movies of their own.
