MCU Boss Ordered Which Avenger To Be Killed?

MCU President Kevin Feige

A recent interview suggested that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was responsible for Ms. Marvel’s death and rebirth in the pages of Marvel Comics, but the publisher is pushing back against the idea that he had anything to do with the changes.

Marvel fans were shaken by the decision to kill Kamala Khan in the pages of “The Amazing Spider-Man.” The move was seemingly made to create synergy between the comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where the hero’s origin involves her being a mutant.

The comic book version of the hero, on the other hand, was believed to be an Inhuman since her debut over a decade ago until Khan’s controversial death and rebirth revealed her to be a mutant/Inhuman hybrid.

According to Cody Ziglar, the writer of “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” and collaborator of ASM writer Zeb Wells on “Amazing Spider-Man: Gang War First Strike,” Feige decided to kill her.

“It was funny watching when the whole Kamala stuff was going down,” Ziglar said during an appearance on the Amazing Spider-Talk podcast. “He (Wells) had told me months before the plan, which was, Feige was like, ‘Hey, I don’t do this very often, but, can you please do this to make things in line with Marvel because we have some stuff we want to do with Kamala,’ so he (Wells) was like, ‘F***, I’m the guy that drew the short straw? People are going to be very mad that I have to kill Ms. Marvel.'”

A Marvel spokesperson says that Ziglar’s account is incorrect and that Feige had nothing to do with killing the character. Rather, it was a “collective editorial decision” made strictly by Marvel Comics that didn’t involve the MCU boss.
