Marvel's Kevin Feige Gives Advice on DC's JUSTICE LEAGUE Film

While Marvel has been blowing up the superhero film market, DC Entertainment, Legendary Pictures, and Warner Bros. have been trying to figure out what they are going to do with their superhero properties. Yeah, Christopher Nolan did some amazing things with Batman, and the new Superman movie looks like it's going to be awesome, but they have so many other characters to work with. As you know, they are looking to get a live-action Justice League movie into production, and I hope they can actually pull it off. 

In a recent interview with Collider, Marvel President Kevin Feige was asked what advice he would give to Warner Bros. regarding their Justice League plans. This is what he said...

I don’t know. I’m sure they have smart people over there who have a plan and know what they’re doing. Man of Steel looks like it’s going to be awesome and obviously Dark Knight is awesome. I don’t know. It’s what I say all the time and have said over the years, which is, have confidence in the characters, believe in the source material, don’t be afraid to stay true to all of the elements of the characters no matter how seemingly silly or crazy they are. I don’t know, I think the Marvel characters have a bit of a leg up for all the reasons that Marvel fans are aware of in terms of the emotional complexity of the characters and the flawed nature of the characters. Those are obviously the elements we want to accentuate amongst all the action.

I think there have been a lot of great DC stories and there are a lot of great DC characters, and if they focus on those things the audience will be interested. It was a very unique model that we were lucky enough to be able to do – introducing each individual hero before introducing The Avengers. That, to me, is what was always interesting about The Avengers. The Avengers are not The Guardians of the Galaxy, are not The Dirty Dozen, where you spend a movie introducing each character and putting them together for the first time. The Avengers was cool because they were preexisting characters that teamed up for a big event. I think that’s why Justice League was cool, Justice League was first. That’s what they did first in comic form.

He makes some good points here, and I hope that everyone at the studio knows what they're doing when they decide to pull the trigger on this thing. If Man of Steel does well, and I'm sure it will, they are going to officially give it the greenlight and get Zack Snyder to direct it. I personally think they should figure out more of their individual characters before they try to take on a big team up of superheroes like the Justice League.

What do you think about what Feige had to say?
