Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has revealed who he thinks is the strongest Marvel Cinematic Universe character. He chose a character fromAvengers Endgameand it was not Carol Danvers. Feige has gone on record to say thatCaptain Marvelwas going to be the most powerful character to be introduced on the big screen thus far. While he may have been technically correct at the time,Endgameproved that a new character may be even stronger when fueled by anger.
During a recent Q&A session, Kevin Feige was asked who he thought was the most powerful MCU character. For some, this could be like asking who your favorite child is, but Feige did not dodge the question and dove right in. As for who he chose, it’s none other than Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, thanks to a specific scene fromAvengers: Endgame. He explains.
“Well, I think it’s interesting, if you look atEndgame, Wanda Maximoff was going to kill Thanos. If he hadn’t desperately – that’s as scared as I’ve ever seen Thanos. And if he hadn’t said decimate my entire team to get her off of me, I think she would’ve done it.”
The fan who askedKevin Feigethe question, along with the rest of the audience, was very enthusiastic about his answer. In the video, it clearly looks like Feige was going to go on and give more of an explanation as to why he chose Wanda Maximoff as thestrongest MCU character, but he was cut off. With that being said, all anybody has to really do is go back toAvengers: Endgameand watch her nearly murder Thanos on the battlefield.
Wanda Maximoff has proven herself over the course of her time in the MCU, but will all fans agree with Kevin Feige’s pick for strongest hero? Joe Russo recently said that he believesCaptain Marvel is even stronger than Thor, which had fans second guessing things. Carol Danvers is basically unstoppable, but it seems that Wanda Maximoff might have the edge, at least according to Feige. Then again, the Marvel Studios boss does have the upcomingWandaVisionDisney+ series to hype up right now. The series will show the character as Scarlet With for the first time.
WandaVisionis currently in production and will premiere at the end of the year on Disney+. Kevin Feige is taking the MCU in a new direction in more ways than one. The MCU’s Phase 4 will begin later this year withBlack Widowand thenThe Eternalson the big screen. We’ll be introduced to new characters, while the small screen will connect to the theatrical element in ways we have yet to see. It’s going to be a gamble and Feige knows this and seems to like it in the wake ofAvengers: Endgame. You can check out the Q&A with Feige below, thanks to the New York Film Academy YouTube channel.
