Kevin Feige will never be allowed to forget his biggest MCU failure

As the highest-grossing producer in Hollywood history to have overseen the most lucrative film and television franchise of all time, no one would mind Kevin Feig occasionally missed the target.

The fact that only one of the 30 full-length installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe dropped below the Fresh threshold at Rotten Tomatoes is a testament to the saga’s consistency, not to mention the fact that not a single one of them box-bombed Office.

And yet we wonder if the company’s chief creative officer ever sits in his office and regrets what happened into peoplethe one-time big-screen blockbuster that was instead snatched up by the dreaded Ike Perlmutter and turned into the lowest-rated single project of the entire Marvel Studios era.

The Cosmic Caper remains the only MCU film to be announced and given a release date that was never made, a sore point Redditors are happy to revisit. Instead, we ended up with the awful eight-episode series that was panned by critics and canceled before it even aired, stifling embarrassment upon embarrassment.

If Feige keeps a soft spot for the intergalactic adventurers, maybe one day he’ll bring them back to the big screen. Then again the fate of Anson Mount Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has fueled the conspiracy theories that he actually hates the team, so it may never happen.
