Deadpool Creator Rob Liefeld Criticizes Kevin Feige After Marvel's Recent Box Office Struggles

Rob Liefeld calls for Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige to step down, citing disappointing box office results for 'Captain America: Brave New World' and other recent MCU films.

Rob Liefeld, co-creator of Deadpool, has publicly called for Kevin Feige to step down as Marvel Studios president following the poor second-week box office performance of 'Captain America: Brave New World.'
The film experienced a 68% drop in its second weekend, marking one of the steepest declines in MCU history, alongside 'The Marvels' and 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.'
Liefeld criticized Marvel's recent box office trends, describing them as an 'extended downside' and likening Feige's leadership to a sports coach who should be replaced after repeated underperformance.
Liefeld's remarks follow his earlier claims of being snubbed by Marvel at the 'Deadpool & Wolverine' premiere, where he alleged mistreatment and exclusion from key events.
Despite recent challenges, Marvel Studios remains the highest-grossing film franchise, with $31 billion in total earnings under Feige's leadership, including recent successes like 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'
