Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will receive the 2026 Pioneer of the Year Award from the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation. The honor recognizes his leadership in building the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The foundation announced the award on July 14. Feige, who serves as president and chief creative officer at Marvel Studios, will be recognized at a ceremony scheduled for September 30 at the Beverly Hilton.
Kyle Davies, president of distribution at Bleecker Street Media and co-chairman of the Pioneers Assistance Fund Committee, said Feige is a dynamic producer and executive whose creativity and vision entertains and inspires moviegoers everywhere.
The Pioneer of the Year Award has been presented for more than 75 years to industry leaders noted for service and philanthropy. Kate Hudson received the 2025 award in October.
