ABOUT OUR HONOREE
“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to honor Kevin Feige with a well-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There are few, if any, filmmakers who have had the kind of impact and track record that Kevin has had,” stated Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “The many films he has worked on have become a cultural phenomenon and a major part of the cinema world’s history,” added Martinez.
Kevin Feige is one of the most accomplished and acclaimed producers in the industry. As producer and president of Marvel Studios, Feige is the driving creative force behind dozens of blockbuster feature films and series and the chief architect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the highest-grossing film franchise of all time. He is also chief creative officer of Marvel, responsible for the entertainment giant’s storytelling across film, television, publishing, and licensing, building on an unparalleled library of iconic characters and stories that have shaped pop culture for 85 years, from The Avengers and X-Men to Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and more.
Feige is a hands-on producer who has overseen all of Marvel Studios’ feature film productions. All 33 films have opened No. 1 at the box office, and they’ve collectively grossed nearly $30 billion globally, with 10 of the films grossing more than $1 billion worldwide. Two of those films – Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War – surpassed the $2 billion mark, with Endgame being the fastest film in cinematic history to reach the milestone. In 2018, Black Panther became the first film featuring a superhero to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.
Feige’s first MCU film, Iron Man, released in 2008, shattered expectations among fans and critics and instantly hit the cultural zeitgeist. The film paved the way for Marvel’s first phase of films, culminating in Marvel’s The Avengers, which was the first film in history to post a $200 million opening weekend domestically, and showed the storytelling possibilities of the MCU’s interconnected universe. The Avengers became the highest-grossing film of 2012 worldwide and a herald for Marvel’s future box office hits, including Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain Marvel, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and many more. In 2022, Iron Man was inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress for its cultural significance.
Upcoming big-screen feature films include the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine, releasing July 26, Captain America: Brave New World in February 2025, Thunderbolts* in May 2025, and The Fantastic Four in July 2025.
Feige is an Academy Award® and Golden Globe Award nominee and was honored with the 2019 David O. Selznick Achievement Award from the Producers Guild of America, as well as the Albert R. Broccoli Britannia Award for Worldwide Contribution to Entertainment from the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA).
He is a graduate of the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, and currently sits on the school’s Board of Councilors.
