Kevin Feige Calls for Truce in MCU vs DCEU Rivalry

With Thor: Ragnarok currently killing it in theaters and Justice League just around the corner, the MCU vs DCEU rivalry is nearing its peak.  Now Marvel Cinematic Universe mastermind Kevin Feige is requesting fans to chill out and stop feuding amongst themselves. It’s time to put an end to the MCU vs DCEU rivalry.

In a recent interview with Crave, Feige called for fan peace, saying that the rivalry only really exists in the minds of fans, and that behind-the-scenes, filmmakers and actors from both cinematic universes get along just fine:

“I think it’s ridiculous. I think movies are awesome and people should go out and support awesome movies, and I go support those movies and I thought Wonder Woman was awesome…I can’t wait to see what Geoff Johns and Joss [Whedon] and the gang has done with Justice League. I guess people like rivalries, I guess? I don’t know. But I’m seeing Geoff Johns in a couple weeks for dinner. We went to this [Richard] Donner event together. Dick’s Superman is still the best archetype of superhero films. So yeah, just go see cool movies. What are you fighting about?”

Feige actually said something very similar in the past. Earlier this year, Feige told Cinema Blend:

“There’s not really a rivalry. A rivalry is much more amongst the press, I think. Geoff Johns [at DC] is a very good friend of mine. We grew up together in the business…So, I applaud all the successes he has. And I really just look at it as a fan. When the movies perform well and are well-received, it’s good for us – which is why I’m always rooting for them.”

So when Justice League hits theaters on November 17, 2017, just try to enjoy it for what it is and resist the temptation to compare it to the MCU.
