Marvel Studios president and chief creative officer Kevin Feige will receive the 2026 Pioneer of the Year Award on September 30 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.
The Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation presents the annual award for leadership, community service and philanthropy. Proceeds from the dinner will support its Pioneers Assistance Fund, which helps working and retired members of the film distribution and exhibition community.
Feige has produced 37 feature films with more than $32 billion in worldwide box office sales. Eleven of those movies have crossed $1 billion, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
Feige's Marvel work also reaches Disney's parks. He joined Walt Disney Imagineering president Bruce Vaughn in 2025 to detail Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab, two attractions coming to Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure.
