Kevin Feige’s Secret Ingredient in the MCU Came From Star Trek’s ‘Worst’ Movie

There is no blueprint for what Marvel Studios accomplished with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially from Iron Man to Avengers: Endgame. Studio head Kevin Feige is often celebrated as the guiding hand for the decade-long Infinity Saga and for his belief these films would “work.” However, as unique as it may be, the superstar producer for Marvel found inspiration in other sagas. In fact, Feige had a secret ingredient for MCU movies that he took from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, often considered the “worst” movie. It shows both that he takes this all seriously beyond the box office bottom line and wants to create something that lasts.When trying to bring back his canceled series, Gene Roddenberry worked on Star Trek: Phase II, which was eventually adapted for the first motion picture. The movies were a success, at least until The Final Frontier, directed by William Shatner. The movie made money, but many fans consider it the worst film in the series. Despite the budget and visual effects issues, the movie actually contains what may be the best story about the friendship between Kirk, Spock and Doctor McCoy. That’s the power of these iconic characters. Even if the movie around them isn’t working to its fullest potential, their relationships still reach the hearts of the fans. A new book, MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios by Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales and Gavin Edwards, reveals how this film inspired Feige. Most producers would look past The Final Frontier for its reputation or how the obvious VFX effects constraints weakened the movie’s impact. However, that’s what separates a movie executive from an executive who is a fan of movies. Even the “worst” of Star Trek has something to teach anyone who is trying to build a cinematic saga that endures.MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios is perhaps the most unflinching and comprehensive history of this force in pop culture. The authors track the growth of the studio from when it was just a licensing operation to its modern-day position on top of the heap in Hollywood. Near the end of the book, Doctor Strange writer C. Robert Cargill reveals that Feige told him every one of their movies needs a “campfire scene.” This references the scenes at the opening and close of The Final Frontier where the perennial bachelors Kirk, Spock and McCoy go camping in Yellowstone Park together. They eat beans and sing “Row, Row, Row, Your Boat.” Any critic would say those scenes should be cut in order to get to the action faster. Yet, it’s the most important one in the movie.RELATED: Star Trek Theory: The Final Frontier’s Villain Could Be This Powerful Alien Species
