#Amy Pascal & Kevin Feige Explain How Spider-Man Ended Up In The MCU

In the interview, New York Times writer Brooks Barnes asked Pascal and Feige about how their collaboration first started. He recalls that legend has it Pascal was running Sony and had just made “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” starring Andrew Garfield. Feeling that it was “rather wobbly,” she called Feige for help. Amazingly enough, that’s exactly what happened, and Pascal confirmed: 

“That is the truth. I called Kevin and said, ‘Help.’ And then he came over to my office for lunch and said, ‘I know how to help you.’ And then I threw a sandwich at him.”

Apparently Feige didn’t want to just give advice and then bail, and he told Pascal that the only way he knew how to help was to make the movie for her. That inspired said sandwich-launching, which could have been the end of talks about Spider-Man in the MCU. Thankfully, like Spider-Man himself, Feige wasn’t phased by a little flying bread.
