As if it wasn’t obvious enough from simply watching any of the studio’s post-Infinity War output, producer Nate Moore has revealed that he believes the key to Marvel Studios’ success is hiring writers who are “out” of the comic book culture over anyone who loves the source material.

Moore, whose career has seen him serve as a producer for such Marvel Cinematic Universe entries as Captain America: Civil War, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and most recently Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, shared his insight into Marvel Studios’ hiring philosophy during an appearance on the November 16th episode of The Ringer’s The Town podcast.

Speaking with host Matthew Belloni about his general experience working for the Disney subsidiary [time stamp 17:00], Moore was eventually asked if there was “some kind of a ‘Marvel bootcamp’ or something that you do with these filmmakers to ingratiate them into this world and knowing all the things that they need to know,” to which the producer confirmed “not really.”

Noting that some Marvel writers grew up reading and collecting comics, such as Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, Moore told Belloni, “one thing I think is interesting, and specifically for writers I would say, is that a lot of times we’re pitched writers who love Marvel, and to me that’s always a red flag.”

“I don’t want you to already have a pre-existing idea of what it is, because you grew up with the comics and that’s what you want to recreate,” he explained. “I want someone who’s going to be hard on the material, who can go ‘What is this? I think there’s a movie here. but maybe we should be looking at it in this way'”
