Brad Winderbaum is the Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation (formerly a Vice President of Production and Development) at Marvel Studios.
He joined the Marvel Universe during production of the company's first feature, "Iron Man", and was most recently Executive Producer on the 2017 blockbuster "Thor: Ragnarok", starring Chris Hemsworth and Cate Blanchett and directed by Taika Waititi. Before that, he co-produced the 2015 global hit "Ant-Man", starring Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas and directed by Peyton Reed.
During his tenure with Marvel, Winderbaum spearheaded the Marvel One-shot programme, serving as Executive Producer on several short films, including "Item 47", "Agent Carter", and "All Hail the King." He helped develop the studio's growing continuity by exploring the interconnectivity throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe and creating behind-the-scenes documentaries and interactive campaigns for "Iron Man 2", "Thor", "Captain America: The First Avenger", and "Marvel's The Avengers."
Winderbaum's career path to Marvel began in Rockland County, New York, where, as a youngster, he first became interested in comic books and science fiction movies. While earning a BFA in Studio Art from NYU, he spent his time creating large-scale drawings of parallel worlds and staging underground theatre productions. Winderbaum went on to receive an MFA in film production from USC.
In 2007, Winderbaum became a pioneer in the online space by creating a forum for interactive dramas called "itsallinyourhands," in which the choices of the characters were decided by the viewing audience. His sci-fi thriller, "Satacracy 88," which he wrote and directed, received an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Broadband Drama and a Webby People's Choice Award for Best Film and Video Dramatic Series. The second season earned a Daytime Emmy nomination (for Outstanding New Approaches in Daytime Entertainment) the following year.
Grant Curtis is a film producer who has worked with director Sam Raimi on The Gift, Drag Me To Hell, the Spider-Man films, and Oz the Great and Powerful.
He grew up in the rural Missouri town of Warrensburg. Curtis received a master's degree in mass communication in 1997 from the University of Central Missouri (UCM), formerly CMSU (located in the town of Warrensburg). He wrote a thesis or screenplay entitled "And God Stepped Aside." The screenplay examines the relationship between a young man who reluctantly fulfils the dying wishes of his estranged grandmother by taking her to Paris, France. The story was inspired by Curtis' own personal experiences with death within his family. Not long after he completed his thesis or screenplay while he lived in Los Angeles, CA., Curtis' neighbour informed him that director Sam Raimi was looking for an assistant. Curtis interviewed for the position, not entirely confident afterwards that his western Missouri accent and demeanour, not to mention his limited practical experience, had garnered Raimi's consideration. After waiting many months, Curtis discovered that he got the job, and his journey towards success began.
In 2002, Curtis received the University of Central Missouri's Alumnus Association's Outstanding Recent Alumni Award.
Aside from producing films, Curtis wrote a book in 2007 called The Spider-Man Chronicles: The Art and Making of Spider-Man 3.
Curtis serves as an executive producer on the 2022 streaming series Moon Knight.
It was announced that both he and Nick Pepin will be co-producing the upcoming film The Fantastic Four, set to be released on July 25, 2025.

Mohamed Diab (Arabic: محمد دياب, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [mæˈħ.amæd dˤiæb], born 1978) is an Egyptian screenwriter and director whose work often centres on pressing issues concerning Egyptian society. He is known for his directorial debut film, Cairo 678 (Les Femmes du bus 678), which was released a month before the Egyptian revolution, and for directing Disney's Marvel series Moon Knight.
Cairo 678 is Diab's directorial debut. The film follows the intertwining stories of a vigilante trio of women who take on the sexual harassment epidemic in Cairo. The film was released in December 2010 and is considered the most award-winning contemporary Egyptian film. The film was distributed internationally and fared well, notably in France, where it sold 265,000 tickets and received ÉcranTotal's "coup de foudre du public" audience recognition award.
Eshtebak (Clash) was supposed to be a film about the rise of the Egyptian revolution but eventually became a film that captures the fall of the revolution. The entire film is shot from within the confines of a police riot truck. The film is a recipient of grants and funding from the San Francisco Film Society, CNC l'aide au Cinémas du Monde, and ARTE France. The film was an official selection for the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, Un Certain Regard category.
In October 2020, Diab was hired to direct episodes of the Disney+ streaming series Moon Knight, set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Diab insisted on bringing Egyptian authenticity to the film's settings even though he was unable to film there. Attention to the smallest details was important to him, such as adding purple hues and the vibrant atmosphere of the Nile River at night. Together with his wife, Sarah Goher, they selected Egyptian music genre songs such as Bahlam Maak, El Melouk, and Batwanes Beek, which are all composed by Egyptian songwriters to convey the true vibe of the country.

Slater's original version of the script for Fantastic Four was said to feel more in tone with a Marvel Studios movie, being an action-packed superhero adventure in contrast to the final film's dark and realistic tone. It included the villains Galactus, who is the source for the titular characters' powers; Mole Man; and Doctor Doom as a Latverian dictator and herald to Galactus, in contrast to the antisocial programmer he was portrayed as in the finished film.

Designing sets on sound stages and bringing locations to life in major cities and random villages on every continent is the way Stefania Cella has spent the last 20 years.
Born and raised in Milan, Italy, and educated in theatre and art history, Cella developed a design style highly influenced by the interplay of light, shadow, and color. The emotion of the lighting and the aesthetic package in which it is presented provide a subtle context that alters reality to enhance a story. These elements also exist in everyday life, but instead of enhancing stories, they impact the emotional and aesthetic quality of spaces. It is Cella’s sunny studio library, tucked away in the Hollywood Hills, where she has researched, prepared, and found inspiration for more than 20 films. Some of those include works with Nick Cassavetes (John Q), Barry Levinson (Man of the Year, What Just Happened), and Paolo Sorrentino (This Must Be the Place, The Great Beauty, and Loro). The Great Beauty brought her the highest award in Italy as best designer in 2014, the David di Donatello. In 2015, she collaborated with director Scott Cooper on the Boston-based period film Black Mass, starring Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger. She followed this achievement with her designs for Downsizing, directed by Alexander Payne, and White Boy Rick, directed by Yann Demage. After her third collaboration with Paolo Sorrentino for the epic four-hour feature on Tycoon Silvio Berlusconi’s Loro, she worked with Noah Hawley for the astronaut’s based story, Lucy in the Sky, starring Natalie Portman.
Follow the experience with Noah Hawley. Stefania was interested in developing her technical skills and started to collaborate with studios like Marvel to create fantastic worlds. Comics was a natural technical transition to experience a new language.
She collaborated with Sony on Morbius, followed by Moon Knight with Oscar Isaac, directed by Mohamed Diab.
Returning to her theatrical education and sensibility, she collaborates once again with Scott Cooper in The Pale Blue Eye, a gothic tale set in 1820 West Point with controlled colours and tones and a language very familiar to her style.
She developed, designed, and built sets for Blade in 2023, a relaunch of the franchise set in 1920, with Mahershala Ali.
Ramy Romany is an Egyptologist, Documentarian, TV Host and DGA Director. He has filmed, produced, directed, and been featured in over a hundred documentaries, and has worked with networks such as The Discovery Channel, The History Channel, and National Geographic.
