MCU boss Kevin Feige says his son "feigned interest in a supportive way" until he started playing Marvel Rivals: "Suddenly, he was asking me to tell him more about Hela"

Hela in Marvel Rivals.

Simply being the head of the Marvel Cinematic Universe does not guarantee that your kids will be into superheroes. Kevin Feige says it wasn't the nearly 40 movies that the MCU has produced that got his own son into Marvel - instead, he thanks Marvel Rivals for sparking that interest.

Speaking with reporters last week, Feige says his son only "feigned interest in a supportive way" for the MCU, as The Wrap reports. Then he started playing Marvel Rivals. "Suddenly, he was asking me to tell him more about Hela," Feige says. "Tell him more about The Punisher and these other characters. And then he started seeking them out in the shows."
