Movie leaks are always a cookie in the jar for the fans. And surely, fans enjoy them because they help to get the information, while in some cases, fans want to avoid getting spoilers. Well, everything depends on different perspectives, isn’t it? Well, in a recent press meeting for Multiverse of Madness, Kevin Feige told all on the subject.
During the virtual press conference for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Kevin Feige talked, about trying to protect MCU secrets. This is because, over the past few years, Marvel Studios has seen quite a few tremendous leaks surrounding its many projects in development.
Kevin Feige on Keeping MCU Secrets
Perhaps there was plentiful of the leaks about Spider-Man: No Way Home. During the virtual press conference for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige addressed these questions, pointing out it isn’t always easy to keep secrets.
During the conference, Feige was inquired about the challenge of keeping all the secrets and shocks for the upcoming releases. Moreover, the funny part is that Marvel snipers or Feige are always watching. Kevin Feige addressed these comments based on that:
“The unfortunate truth is you don’t, and therefore you need to make sure that the experience itself works, regardless of what has been spoiled or not. We still do as good a job as we can and I think a lot of people are getting good at not spreading it. You know somebody steals something, don’t spread it around because it just potentially lessens the experience, but in a lot of ways, No Way Home showed that it did not lessen the experience, so we will continue to do the best we can, but the most important thing is delivering the movie or the show that delivers regardless of what you know going in”.
Kevin Feige Explains How the MCU Succeeds Despite Leaks
As we all know, The Doctor Strange sequel had quite a few leaks itself, whether it’s from Marvel Studios directly or the bugs excited to reveal the cameos in the film. Kevin Feige has revealed the company’s strategy around the leaks, just hours after a big Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness leak circulated the internet.
Feige clarified that the unfortunate truth about keeping secrets from the film is that you don’t. He also explained that given this, the movie needs to work without entirely relying on its teasers.
“We still do as good of a job as we can. I think a lot of people are getting good at not spreading it. Somebody steals something, don’t spread it around because it just potentially lessens the experience.”
Feige will do everything in his power to suppress massive leaks like this, but in a generation that gets more connected by the end of the day, things leaking out are a certainty. So it seems like a healthy strategy to do what he can as a Hollywood manager, but not to rip out the roots of that. His only strategy is to make the content work and the audience will love these MCU projects whether they have been spoilt or not.
