VIDEO : Kevin Feige Once Had A Plan For The X-Men Franchise That Fox Didn't Follow

Before Kevin Feige became president of Marvel Studios and overseer of the shared Marvel Cinematic Universe, X-Men movie franchise producer Lauren Shuler Donner promoted her then-assistant to associate producer on the mutant super team's 2000 big screen debut. Feige then served as co-producer on X2 and executive producer on X-Men: The Last Stand before landing his Marvel Studios role in 2007 and blazing a new path with 2008's Iron Man, launching an interconnected universe of films ? what is now the highest-grossing franchise of all time.
