A Marvel Comics writer has confirmed that the controversial decision to kill off Ms. Marvel last year was made by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. Kamala Khan’s death caused outrage among fans, who were upset with the handling of it, as well as the decision to resurrect her as a mutant. Many saw this as a blatant attempt to align Ms. Marvel’s comic status with the fact that she is a mutant in the MCU.
In an interview with the Amazing Spider-Talk podcast, Marvel writer Cody Ziglar confirms that Feige was the one who made the call. He says that Zeb Wells, the writer of The Amazing Spider-Man #26 where Kamala dies, told him the plan months in advance. Wells told Ziglar that the decision was made by Feige, who serves as the chief creative officer of Marvel Entertainment. According to Ziglar, “Feige was like, ‘I don’t do this very often, but can you please just do this to make things in line with Marvel [Studios] because we have some stuff we want to do with Kamala.’”
Ziglar says that he felt bad for Wells, but also admits that “it was funny watching him get savaged online knowing that he’s sort of the guy who had to answer the call of Daddy Feige to make this sacrifice.”
