When you hear the phrase Marvel Studios producer, thefirst name that comes to mind is Kevin Feige.
Hes got a lot on his plate.
But, if you watch any Marvel movie, youll see there area lot of different producersbesides him.
Being outside was a big problem making Deadpool & Wolverine.Marvel Studios
Like, in the case ofDeadpool & Wolverine, Wendy Jacobson.
Oh, and did you know they tried to get Deadpool into She-Hulk?
Read the interview below.

So that was really kind of singularly the biggest challenge.
io9: Yeah, youd never think of that.
But when Hughdidcome on board, how much did the movie change after that?

But as soon as Hugh came on, we had a script in eight weeks.
We opened the production office a week later and we were shooting six months after that.
But its pretty close to the original idea.
She-Hulk inShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law– Marvel Studios
Like youre coming offDeadpool 2,Logan, and setting up the story here.
Jacobson:Thats a very good question.
Without naming any names, did that pose any huge problems or do any scheduling conflicts come to mind?
Jacobson:This feels like a trick question.
io9: No, its not.
Jacobson:You know, I would say this.
Now this isnt your first project in the MCU.
You also worked onShe-Hulkwhich we loved and covered the heck out of.
Jacobson:I would love to.
Thats all I can say.
So you producedShe-Hulkand nowDeadpool, who are probably the two most famous, fourth-wall-breaking characters there are.
Is that now your niche?
And what would happen if they ended up on screen together?
Jacobson:Thats also a good question.
You know, I dont know if the fourth wall breaking is my niche.
Itd be great if comedy was my niche.
So maybe its in my blood.
I would love to keep doing comedy.
And yeah, I would love to see She-Hulk and Deadpool together.
We tried to get Deadpool intoShe-Hulkalso, but didnt work out.
io9: Wow, that would have been awesome.
Last thing, Shawn [Levy], Hugh, and Ryan are such personality powerhouses.
What is it like to be outside of that trio creatively?
Is it hard to get your ideas in or not at all?
Jacobson:Those guys are so awesome and collaborative.
To try and make their vision a reality.
So you let them go do their thing.
So its been really, really collaborative and really awesome to work with them.
Deadpool & Wolverineopens July 26.
