MCU’s Kevin Feige Turned Down Offer to Run DC After Justice League

Kevin Feige had an opportunity to run DC Studios before James Gunn and Peter Safran were hired.

In 2022, Gunn and Safran were appointed as joint chairpersons and co-CEOs for DC Studios by Warner Bros. Discovery, with David Zaslav at the helm. Since then, they’ve introduced the DCU, a multiverse where beloved DC characters such as Superman reside.

What do we know about Kevin Feige turning down an offer to run DC?

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, meetings between Warner executives and Kevin Feige occurred shortly following the unveiling of 2017’s Justice League, with the intention of persuading him to change allegiance.

The talks, however, “fizzled.”

Kevin Feige continues to work at Marvel Studios, set to release a fresh film titled “The Fantastic Four: Initial Leaps” towards the end of this month. Following that, “Avengers: Doomsday,” which is now being developed and slated for a release in December 2026, will hit the screens. Lastly, “Avengers: Secret Wars” is scheduled for a December 2027 premiere.

Regarding TV programming, the upcoming MCU series is titled “Eyes of Wakanda,” scheduled for release in August. Additionally, there are other shows on the horizon where Kevin Feige is involved, such as “Marvel Zombies,” “Wonder Man,” and “Vision Quest.

As a passionate cinephile, here’s my take on your text:

In December 2024, I found myself immersed in the DC Universe with the release of Creatures Commandos. The next exciting chapter unfolds now, as Superman graces the screens of cinemas and IMAX theaters across the United States. This film, written and directed by Gunn, stars David Corenswet as the iconic superhero, with Rachel Brosnahan portraying Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult stepping into the shoes of Lex Luthor, and a host of other talented actors bringing the DC Universe to life.

Following Superman, the DC Universe carries on in August 2025 with Season 2 of Peacemaker. The film adaptation of Supergirl by Craig Gillespie is set to release on June 26, 2026, while the movie Clayface by James Watkins is scheduled for September 11, 2026.

In 2026, it’s anticipated that “The Lanterns,” a TV series featuring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, will make its debut, joining other upcoming DCU films such as “The Authority,” “The Brave and the Bold,” “Swamp Thing,” “Wonder Woman,” and additional titles on the schedule.
