When it comes to making one of the most successful superhero franchises, nobody can do it better than Kevin Feige. Joining the franchise in the 2000s, he rose through the ranks in no time as he is now the President of the biggest superhero franchise in the world. When it comes to getting success, Feige leaves no stone unturned, but what makes him stand out is that he is secretive as he refuses to spill the beans no matter how much you ask him.
Kevin Feige was present in Las Vegas for the premiere of The Marvels, he was stopped by an interviewer from EW, who asked him questions from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to get an idea of who the mystery woman in Brie Larson’s The Marvels.
Kevin Feige Dismisses Rumors and Fan Theories
Recently, Kevin Feige was present in Las Vegas for the premiere of Brie Larson’s The Marvels. He had a talk with Entertainment Tonight, who had a plethora of questions, including a fan theory that features none other than the Weather Witch, Storm from the X-Men franchise. The interviewer mentioned how the final trailer for the upcoming film was released, and they saw how a character walked by and everyone had the same question “Who is it?” The Avengers producer asked her “Who is it? What’s the top theory?”
She answered how she feels like “it’s Storm,” while she would be excitedly happy if Halle Berry would mark her return in the film, but something else would be equally amazing as well.

However, Kevin Feige puts an end to fan theories as he stated that everything is a “building block in a broader story,” and fans should enjoy it, as he along with the cast and crew of the film have worked tirelessly for the upcoming project.
“I think everything is a building block in a broader story, that’s just part of the fun. But it’s really the fun of the movie, the movie has a beginning, a middle, and an end. And what Nia has worked off so long for so hard with Brie with Teyonah and Iman especially. Again, I said represents years of their hard work, and it’s this experience and fun of this movie is what I want people to focus on.”
With his comments, Kevin Feige dismisses the rumors of Halle Berry’s potential return as Storm in Brie Larson’s The Marvels, but you never know, as Marvel has the habit of surprising his fans with cameos that one couldn’t anticipate in their wildest dreams.
Can Marvel Fans Expect a Storm or an X-Men Cameo in The Marvels?
As The Marvels is set to hit the theatres this Friday, a new trailer of The Marvels has been released which created quite a buzz, as eagle-eyed fans have noticed a subtle reference pointing towards a reference towards the X-Men. For fans, who have not watched the trailer in the last 15 seconds, the caption ‘comes next’ appears on-screen, but eventually fades away to reveal the letter ‘X’ which remains somewhat longer. As a result, fans are speculating a cameo of the X-Men.
Sadly, Marvel has catfished fans with this tactic in Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, where the post-credits scene had an X-Men reference. A similar thing happened in Avengers: Infinity War, where Hulk was shown in the Wakanda Battle trailer, but in the film he was in Hulk Buster suit.
Going by the history of these trailers, it isn’t easy to anticipate that despite Kevin Feige’s comments, and catfishing fans in the past, the X-Men would really be a part of the film.
The Marvels will be released in the theatres on 10th November 2023.
