Till en början var ju ursprungsberättelserna i Marvels påbörjade filmuniversum nödvändiga för att etablera serietidningsvärlden, men på sistone har det varit lika vanligt med "origin"-filmer och enligt Marvel Studios-bossen Kevin Feige är det tydligen inte alltid en självklarhet i längden. I en intervju med Cinemablend under ett pressmöte i Los Angeles berättar Feige att det helt enkelt beror på vad filmuniversumet behöver för stunden:
"I don't think there's any overarching philosophy. I think it's case by case. Had Black Panther not appeared in Captain America: Civil War would we have done a different version of the opening of that movie? Maybe. It is, sometimes, like Doctor Strange, origins can be great, origin stories can be fascinating. If there are, in the future, new stories that require origins... When I talk about a traditional origin structure, it's Superman: The Movie, right? It's following that - or even Iron Man. Taking an hour-plus to see the guy or the girl in the outfit. Sometimes that's the way to do it. Sometimes that's great. And sometimes there are other ways to do it"
Feige förtydligar att det snarare handlar om att försöka göra saker vi inte har sett förut och att underhålla, oavsett format:
"I think it's much less specific to any notion of 'origin,' because, as I just said, sometimes it can be subverted, sometimes you just play it out. That's the better way to do it. The bigger philosophy is, with each film we make, how can we do it in a way we haven't done before? How, whether that's a sequel, whether that's an origin, whether that's a spin off, how can we do a movie that entertains ourselves first, as we develop it and as we produce it, because hopefully that happens than when it's on the screen, it'll entertain the audience as well"
Hur ser du på ursprungsberättelser i Marvel-filmerna? Vilken origin-story vill du se i framtiden?
Tack och lov behövde vi ju inte se Spider-Mans ursprung för tredje gången...
