Kevin Feige has addressed the issue of social media toxicity impacting Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films with SlashFilm. In recent times, certain MCU releases like ‘Captain Marvel’ and ‘The Marvels’ have faced review bombing, where films are targeted with negative ratings. Feige emphasized that the priority for Marvel is the safety and well-being of the cast during such incidents.

He candidly expressed his concerns about the hostile nature of social media, stating, ‘Social media can often be a toxic place.’ Feige noted the challenges that come with handling such negativity and expressed a strong desire for a solution that could mitigate these issues. He underscored that the studio’s focus remains steadfast on supporting their actors and ensuring a positive environment despite the external pressures.
