Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has found the secret ingredient of turning films into blockbusters and he says it is "inclusion".

Feige believes with examples such as "Black Panther", it is for everyone to see that the more representative the sample that is making decisions about a project, the better the film will eventually be.

At The Hollywood Reporter's Producer Roundtable, the Marvel boss was asked what he feels about putting up an inclusion rider in the contract.

To this Feige first replied with a question: "Should people be forced to do it? And maybe the answer is yes, maybe the answer is no."
He explained further, saying, "If you're in a position of power and you're the one doing the hiring, we have learned - on our last number of movies and a number of movies that haven't come out or haven't been announced - that the more diverse the group of people around the table, the better the movie."
