Hoe exciting! The first female Executive Producer in the Marvel Universe, Trinh Tran!
We jumped right in and asked ho she dealt with the response to the end of Infinity War. Have you people just destroyed and ended the Marvel Universe!
“I was really nervous about how everybody was going to respond to the ending and it actually feels really weird because I can’t believe I can actually talk about it now. For the longest time, even during the Press tour, we couldn’t say anything and for 2 years, we had to keep our mouths mum about all the spoilers so this is actually one of my very first few times actually being able to talk about it and be open about it. Sometimes I’m going to be hesitant because I’m still used to the fact that can I say that? Wait a minute, the movie is out. But I think it’s just everybody just embracing which is really shocking and great because a lot of people, their fan favorites didn’t make it, whether it was, Peter Parker or Quill but whomever it is, they didn’t survive the ending and I think that the shock is that the bad guy won. So I think it was, just seeing that the audience was OK with it was really weird.”
It had been a few months and we were surprised to hear that Trinh was first talking about this material!
Trinh chatted about how hard everyone worked on the film, and how she was there from day one: the ideas started flowing when they were finishing up shooting Civil War.
“We came back and we were in the story room with Joe, Anthony, Steven, and Chris, our writers, and we started just hashing out ideas so being a part of that creative process and sitting together with the Writers and Directors and coming up with the beats and ideas and then just really taking it all the way through shooting and you know, being in Atlanta for a year and a half, that was the longest time I’ve ever been away from LA.”
The grueling work and late hours, the working through holidays and weekends, it was exactly the intense process you were expecting from producing this movie.
We were all right there with Trinh when she answered the question, who was the character that you would have hoped to see live! Poor Peter Parker, the young lad, the protégé of Tony Stark. The youngest super hero told us he didn’t want to die, and we were all heart broken!
Trinh talked about being female and a minority, and how she had to work on herself to accept the responsibility she had been given. Clearly Kevin Feige trusted her, so it was up to Trinh:
“I think it’s so important that I embrace it and I’m learning that every day too is that it’s OK to be in a room, and sometimes, you know, I am among all males who some of them have over 20 years of experience and I’m sitting there and sometimes I feel a little intimidated. And it’s like do I speak up? No I can’t but it’s all about if you let your perspective shine, there’s a great story that can we can all agree will be great.”
This was one of the most interesting interviews I have participated in. Listening to the process of producing a Marvel movie, in fact, the biggest Marvel movie with almost every star from every preceding blockbuster, was fascinating. And hearing it from Trinh and listening to her share her personal journey with the movie was a gift!
AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR (on Digital HD 7/31 and Blu-ray & DVD 8/14)!
I have mine!
And an Infinity Gauntlet that I made where we were interviewing Trinh Tran, in Madame Tussaud’s Hollywood!
They have an entire room devoted to the Marvel Universe, it was a ton of fun for all of us bloggers!
And making our own Infinity Gauntlet was the icing on the cake! And by icing I mean dipping my hand in ice cold water and hot wax in an alternating fashion!
Check out the original movie trailer and then go buy the movie, on Digital now!

And of course, the celeb shot!
Why is Thor looking at me like that?
I thought her and the rest of the people that worked on the movie did a great job. I can’t wait for the sequel.
What an enormous responsibility being the producer of such a popular series. What an interesting process it is to make a movie like this.
Great interview! How exciting it must have been to do the interview. I love that such a young female had such an important job to bring this huge movie to the theaters.
I am not big into superhero movies, but I went to see this with friends and really enjoyed it.
This looks like it was so much fun!!!
How fun! I’m looking forward to watching this movie when it comes out on DVD.
Great interview!
My son really wants to see this movie!
Oh my, it would be so hard to talk about the end of IW, but can you imagine having to keep mum about it for two years? I’d cry.
Wow! She is so beautiful!! I am so surprised because this is the first time I see a female Executive Producer in Marvel Universe. I guess she is Vietnamese 🙂
How fun to be able to do this interview! My kids and I really want to see this movie.
I’m so far behind on my movies it’s upsetting. I don’t even want to admit how many I’ve missed. I’m looking forward to catching up on it all. It looks like Trinh has done an amazing job and you had a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing Infinity War… right after I see the others.
Very interesting article. I can’t wait for this movie to come out on blu-ray so I can watch it again.
These pictures are great! Great interview as well. Look forward to seeing it!
I love the Make your Own Gauntlet! What a fun interview!
So awesome! Great interview and great pictures!
Way cool and great pictures!
My sons will love this movie! Looks fun
It must be awesome to interview her and get her thoughts on the movie.
It looks like you had a blast! I’m jealous and know my husband would be too, he’s a huge fan of the movies. I love getting some behind the scenes thoughts.
Oh wow so cool you got to interview her.
Sounds like an exciting job to have
I love the pictures. It looks like you had an amazing time. The wax figures are so good too.
Producer Trinh Tran is definitely a Super Hero in my book! My only exception in the entire article is that living in Atlanta for a year an a half should have been a highlight for her!!!
I love her excitement about being able to talk about it now after keeping hush hush about details for so long! Great interview!
Great interview and how fun! I’m looking forward to watching this movie!
