They say it's good to be the king,

and if you are Kevin Feige, it must be real good.

On Tuesday, it was announced

that the Marvel Studios president

will now be taking over almost

all of the storytelling aspects of Marvel Entertainment,

as its new Chief Creative Officer.

Not only will Feige continue

to oversee the creative direction of the films,

but he will also take over publishing, i.e. comic books,

television and animation divisions.

- This is overwhelming. - On top of that,

Marvel TV and Marvel Family Entertainment

will move under the Marvel Studios banner

with the various heads of all these divisions

reporting to Feige.

Obviously, this has huge ramifications

and there is so much to unpack,

so let's break down what Feige's shiny new CCO title

means for the future of all of Marvel's moving parts.

First up, Marvel Studios and its films.

When it comes to the movies,

this is where there will be the least change.

Feige is already in charge of Marvel Studios

and controls the narrative arcs

that have long been developed with the Infinity Saga

and mapped out over the new few years

with Phase 4 and 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Feige has shown that he's capable of running this studio,

and he has had good working relationships

with most of the people shepherding Marvel movies,

like the Russo's and Taika Waititi.

Expect things to stay on course in the MCU.

- Oh, this is nice. - Next up, Marvel TV.

Now this is where things start to get a little dicey.

We had previously reported that we might be seeing the death

of the Marvel Television division as we know it,

and this seems to reinforce that theory.

With Marvel's current TV offerings

splintered across several groups,

and with very little continuity

between Marvel's film and television offerings,

despite there originally being plans to,

their TV division has never had the consistency

of the movies.

We're looking at you, Inhumans.

But the big X factor that threw up warning flags

was the upcoming show slate for Disney+.

Shows like WandaVision and Hawkeye

will star Marvel Cinematic Universe characters

and will 100 percent take place in the MCU continuity.

And now that Feige is officially taking the reigns

of creative for Marvel TV, it seems like it is

in for a major restructuring.

We wouldn't be surprised if all of the current

and former TV continuity is deep sixed

to help streamline a new wave of television offerings

that would be more inline with the MCU timeline and budget.

Hell, there are rumors swirling currently

that the upcoming Ms. Marvel series for Disney+

will have recasted versions of the Inhumans,

Black Bolt and Maximus, furthering sidelining

the short lived Inhumans television series.

Plus, with the canceling of the Netflix Marvel series,

as well as shows like Legion and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

all wrapped up or finishing soon,

things are already starting to consolidate

into a more streamlined continuity.

So expect that trend to continue

where most, if not all, new Marvel shows

fit into MCU canon with maybe the exception

of their animated series, which can focus

on more purely kids' fair, or stuff

that wouldn't work in live-action very well,

like Howard the Duck.

Nonetheless, it will be interesting

to see what happens with announced Marvel TV shows,

like Hulu's Hellstrom.

But what about Marvel Comics?

This seems to be the biggest question mark

under this new dynamic.

Dan Buckley, president of Marvel Entertainment,

will continue on in his role with Joe Quesada

as a creative lead, but Buckley will now report

to Kevin Feige when it comes

to Marvel Comics creative direction.

This seems to open up most of the speculation

as to what creative direction Marvel Entertainment

will take under Feige's guiding hand.

And many fans are wondering what this means

for Marvel Comics continuity.

Could things get more streamlined,

will we get more books that could tie into the MCU,

could we see fewer hard resets and renumberings

in Marvel Comics, something that fans have grown tired of

after it happening multiple times

in the past few years alone.

Could we see it all reset in the Feige-verse?

- No. - Honestly, no one knows,

and that is both exciting and terrifying at the same time.

We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out,

but what about video games?

Well, this new change shouldn't affect Marvel games much,

as they're still under the purview of Marvel CEO

and chairman, Ike Perlmutter, instead of Kevin Feige.

And finally, what does this mean for Star Wars?

Absolutely nothing!

Kevin Feige still may or may not produce a Star Wars film,

but that's the same deal as before.

Though Marvel and Lucasfilm are both owned by Disney,

they are two separate companies,

and while there was speculation that Kevin Feige

could be taking over Lucasfilm,

Feige's new position feels much more like he's being groomed

to move up the Disney ladder,

instead of making lateral moves among Disney divisions.

But what do you folks think?

Are you excited that Kevin Feige is now CCO

of Marvel Entertainment?

What changes do you think are coming for Marvel Comics?

And do you think he will create all new versions

of previous Marvels shows, like Daredevil or the Inhumans?

Let's discuss.
