Kevin Feige tweets a rare message
What do you do when some new film comes along and casually takes your studio’s box office crown? Do you fly into a rage, go and sulk in a corner or – like Marvel boss Kevin Feige – take the friendly high road and tip a hat to the new ruler in a funny way? Take a look at how Feige saluted the success of Jurassic World on Twitter.

Jurassic World has indeed become a box office behemoth. Initial studio estimates placed it behind Marvel’s The Avengers this past weekend in terms of opening figures, but with the final tallies in, the new dino adventure launched with more than $208 million in the US, which puts it ahead of the 2012 film’s $207.4 million kick off across the pond.
The image, which finds Iron Man, Hulk, Cap and co. befuddled by the image of Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady riding a T-Rex that happens to be holding Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir (even with her strength, we’re not sure Rex would be able to hold it in anything but her fearsome jaws, but perhaps she’s just worthy to rule Asgard – look out, Loki!) And, of course, it doesn’t hurt that the film stars Pratt, who is the leading man for one of Marvel’s other successful franchises, Guardians Of The Galaxy.
Can Marvel regain the crown? Will Rex have to write a note congratulating team Star Wars when The Force Awakens rolls around in December? And, mostly, importantly, can she type well with those claws?
