Last week, The Hollywood Reporter published an interview with screenwriter David S. Goyer. In addition to writing Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Goyer co-wrote the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy. His work helped pave the way for the arrival of DC Films. As such, his comments regarding DCs theatrical ambitions are especially interesting. Heres what he said when asked what he would do next if he were in charge: I think one of the issues is that Marvels had consistent leadership for the last 15 years or more, whereas DC hasnt. There have been all of these changes in terms of who is running DC. That is fundamentally very hard. Its hard to make any headway when leadership is changing. One of the other things thats made Marvel incredibly successful is all of their adaptations are true to the source material. Ant-Man feels like Ant-Man. The Hulk feels like the Hulk. They dont try to change things up. I would say, try to hew closer to what was the original intent. So, its having a consistent universe, having consistent leadership and staying true to the source material.Kevin Feige has been a steady hand at Marvel for over two decades. He started as a producer on the pre-MCU movies, was named President of Production for Marvel Studios in 2007, and now runs the entire company. He has had a say in every project since the MCU kicked off in 2008, and it shows. Thats not to say that he is solely responsible for the success of Marvels movies and shows nor would he want to take the credit but having one singular voice at the top for over a decade is one of the key differences between Marvel and DC. There are rumors that DC might make a direct sequel to Man of Steel. For now, Goyer is focused on his new show, Foundation, which will premiere on Apple TV+ on September 24th. yahoo.com/entertainment/why-marvel-movies-much-more-164229040.html ...
