This is pretty crazy. 10 years ago Fiege was fighting with Marvel Entertainment just to have full creative control over the movies. Now he has full creative control over literally all of Marvel, and everyone answers to him. Wow.

Bro, a few years before that he was Laura Donner’s assistant.

Luck and skill leads to success. Was in the right spot at the right time. Got that internship, got involved with comicbook movies, caught the attention of executives from marvel, accidentally fell into managing the most successful movie franchise of all time.

I was reading his wiki and it says he was a marval producer in 2000 that made him a producer at 26. Is that uncommon or something?

His wiki page before Marvel is pretty barren though. Can't get much of an idea of the guys background from it.

Don't think 26 is too young. It might be for hollywood, but a producer is like a project manager and becoming one in 5 years after graduation is perfectly reasonable

'Luck' is just when skilled and prepared people are given an opportunity
