Marvel studios' Kevin Feige says he has no involvement in Star Wars and The Mandalorian aside from his solo movie, despite rumors to the contrary. Feige, who started his career as an associate and executive producer on the X-Men franchise, is currently one of the most important figures in Hollywood as President of Marvel Studios. Under his leadership, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become the biggest and most successful franchise of all time, producing 23 movies and a host of TV series to date, with many more incoming.

Feige isn't limiting himself to superhero movies, though, despite his intimate involvement in all things Marvel going forward, as he's been confirmed to make a Star Wars movie in the coming years too. That as-yet-untitled film recently got a writer in the form of Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness scribe Michael Waldron, who Feige has clearly taken a liking to, given his connection to three major properties under the producer's control. Besides the upcoming Star Wars film, though, there are rumors that Feige has been involved behind the scenes on the franchise, and may help guide other projects, either on the big screen or small, in future.

However, speaking to Collider during a promotional day for Disney+'s first live-action MCU series WandaVision, Feige has shot down those rumors. Asked point blank if he has been involved, or will be in future, in anything from the Star Wars universe besides his own project, Feige said he wasn't "at all." He wouldn't be drawn further, but the point was made. You can see his full response below:

Not at all.

Star Wars Kathleen Kennedy Kevin Feige

Naturally, even if he was planned to take over the Star Wars franchise, Feige wouldn't say anything before the deal was concluded and announced, as it would be stepping on the toes of current Star Wars head honcho Kathleen Kennedy if he did. But, taken at his word, it really does seem as though Feige is sticking to his lane and only working on the one Star Wars film he's been tasked with producing. That doesn't mean, of course, that he won't be moved over to run the Star Wars universe at some point.

Kennedy's tenure has had its ups and downs, with the sequel films coming in for a lot of criticism, and given both franchises fall under Disney, Feige may eventually be asked to step in, given his success with the MCU. For now, though, he's insistent that he's not involved in the wider Star Wars universe, which has found renewed success with The Mandalorian, though that's unlikely to stop the rumors swirling around many of the upcoming films planned for the franchise.
