Whenever Feige steps down, be it in ten years or twenty, Iman Vellani would make a great head of Marvel Studios
I think that I speak the facts when I say that despite whatever one may think about Ms. Marvel or The Marvels, Iman Vellani was amazing in both. She was also great in Marvel Zombies. If you've seen the interviews, she's as much of a fan as the die-hards, and often times the interviews go into non-Ms. Marvel topics and it's amazing. She's a fan who cares, and personally, I think that's really important in a studio head. Look at James Gunn, he's a fan of these things, and that's one of the many reasons why the DCU is great. Feige didn't start out as a fan, but he made himself into one while working on X-Men, and that's one of the many reasons why the MCU worked.
Also, Vellani isn't even 25, assuming Feige steps down in like at most, twenty years, and seeing that Kathleen Kennedy is in her 70s and still the head of Star Wars, Vellani could do it for a long time. It's also important to note that it's unlikely that Vellani is like Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson, and probably would not make her character the center of the universe, like Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson tried to do with his failed coup of DC back in 2022.
tl;dr: Iman Vellani is great, and would probably make a great studio head.

Christ, OP seems to think the reason James Gunn is doing well with DC is cause he's a fan. I mean, it doesn't hurt in the slightest - but it's incredibly funny that they don't even mention in passing that he's doing great bc... he's an extremely talented and experienced filmmaker, and he has Peter Safran to fully run the business half of the studio. Even someone as experienced as Gunn knows he can't run the business side himself, and partnered with someone who has over 20 years experience in the industry.
If I have an opinion on a topic like this, I just message my mate who is as big a Marvel nerd as I am - you get better discussion that way, and avoid the typical cesspits of negativity lol.
It's going really well because Gunn knows what he's doing, and a part of that comes from the fact that he's a fan who wants to stay true to the source material.
It *does* depend on Gunn being an experienced and accomplished filmmaker, and having an experienced and accomplished partner to run the business elements. Things Iman Vellani is not and, should she continue to pursue acting and writing, will not be at any point in the foreseeable future.
Terrible idea all round.
Iman is fun and passionate, and she embodies the character of Kamala perfectly, but nothing suggests to me that she has the business acumen to be catapulted into such a senior role.
