Marvel's Kevin Feige Never Expected One Of The Best MCU Pitches
By WITNEY SEIBOLD
According to Marvel head Kevin Feige, the weirdest MCU pitch was when Michael Giacchino approached him about a TV movie based on the obscure 1972 character Werewolf By Night.
Giacchino talked about this in the making-of documentary "Director By Night." He said that Feige was genuinely shocked, which isn’t easy to do after "Guardians of the Galaxy."
It was Feige who approached Giacchino about directing a Marvel project. Giacchino had just the project in mind, but it was an odd choice as Werewolf By Night isnt well-known.
“I said, 'I like the fringe characters [...] So Werewolf by Night. It was a Marvel comic I had as a kid [and] I loved it,'" Giacchino recalled.
None of the events of "Werewolf by Night" have been referred to in any other MCU projects, however, so it may be one of the MCU's most forgotten chapters.
