Despite Oscar wins and making over $30 billion at the box office, MCU boss Kevin Feige has "never been satisfied" with any Marvel movie he's released

There's holding yourself to a high standard and then there's Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, who freely admits he's "never been satisfied" with any Marvel movie released on his watch.

When pressed in a roundtable with Variety about Marvel's approach to filmmaking compared to James Gunn's script-first approach over at DC Studios, Feige responded, "We’ve never started a movie without a full script and I have never been satisfied with a script that we’ve had."

After a beat, Feige added, "I’ve never been satisfied with a movie we’ve released.”

Don't expect the Marvel boss to exhaust his pursuit of perfection any time soon, either. Feige stated that he would be in the moviemaking business for decades to come – and that Marvel is a great avenue for him to keep doing that "right now."

"Do I want to be making big movies for big audiences in 10 or 15 years from now? Yes, absolutely," Feige said. "That’s all I want to do. Marvel’s a great way to do that for me right now, but I hope to make big movies for lots of people forever.”
