Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is well aware of the fandom that the MCU has in India. While Indian fans have been loving Marvel movies since Iron Man, the box office collections of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame were proof that the Indian audience had fully embraced the Marvel universe. The recent release of Spider-Man: No Way Home has further enhanced Marvel’s popularity in India and Feige is excited to have the Indian fans on board.
“India is one of the greatest movie-going countries and movie-making countries in the world. So to make something that… that ginormous audience response to is pretty amazing,” he said in a recent conversation with Pinkvilla. Spider-Man co-producer Amy Pascal added that “Spider-Man has always been really popular in India.”
