Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who was recently promoting "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," addressed their years of negotiations with Driver during a recent interview on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast. Feige revealed, "We've talked to him about a lot of roles. It's no secret we want to work with him, but our tradition with him is that we have a Zoom, and he turns us down (laughs). That's been a tradition for many, many years. He usually tells us how he feels about certain projects, and then he turns us down (laughs)."
