Kevin Feige has quite an impressive resume.

The Marvel Studios head is the highest grossing producer of all time, with a combined worldwide box office gross of $31 billion (and counting). He’s a member of the Producers Guild of America, and an Academy Award nominee. It turns out, we can also add Starfleet lieutenant commander to that list. Kevin Feige is a longtime Star Trek fan, and there’s evidence that his love for the franchise helped inspire some of the MCU’s biggest hits.

Anson Mount, who plays Captain Pike on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, previously played Black Bolt in Marvel’s short-lived Inhumans series. When Mount was asked to reprise his role for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, he gave Feige a gift that moved him to tears.

“When Feige called me for Doctor Strange, he let it slip that he was a huge Star Trek fan, which I did not know,” Mount says during the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds panel at this past weekend's Emerald City Comic Con. “So, I had the props department make a very formal honorary commission to the Enterprise, naming him a lieutenant commander, and signed by both myself and Rebecca [Romijn], and they put a badge right in the middle of it, and had it framed and sent to him. He wrote me and said that he cried when he opened it.”
