Huge Marvel fan? Don't expect to be hired as an MCU writer 👀 Producer Nate Moore: '[T]hat’s always a red flag. Because I go, ‘Oh, I don’t want you to already have a preexisting idea of what it is...' I want somebody who’s hard on the material...' 😯
Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe was built on the shoulders of its comic book counterparts, Marvel is surprisingly hesitant to hire comic fans as MCU writers. It is not a stretch by any means to imagine that anyone affiliated with the MCU was probably nose deep in the comics growing up. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige is famously a superfan, and having him in charge of the franchise was a big reason that it was as embraced by audiences as it has been.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY However, Nate Moore, who has been a producer on many MCU films from Captain America: The Winter Soldier to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, reveals that being a major comics fan is a red flag when it comes to hiring MCU writers. Moore tells all about the magic behind Marvel on the podcast The Town with Matthew Belloni, and among many interesting behind-the-scenes looks is the reason why he opts against hiring diehard Marvel comic book fans.
For me, one thing I think is interesting [about Marvel’s process], and specifically for writers, I would say, a lot of times we’re pitched writers who love Marvel. And to me, that’s always a red flag.
The greatest example of this might be most apparent in the Thor franchise. Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder was void of anything resembling a personality in his first MCU outing, which is not far off his comic book counterpart. The humor almost exclusively came from the "fish out of water" trope that comes with being from another planet, which was a shame, given Hemsworth's natural knack for comedy.
It would seem this news would break the hearts of any aspiring MCU writer who grew up loving the comics. However, it is hard to argue with Moore, who merely states that he and the rest of Marvel value those who can look at the source material as a resource, rather than as gospel.
