Feige spent his teen years in New Jersey. His grandfather had been a television producer in the 1950s, having worked on soap operas including The Guiding Light and As the World Turns.

After high school Feige applied to the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, the alma mater of his favorite directors: George Lucas, Ron Howard and Robert Zemeckis. His first five applications were rejected, but he persevered and was accepted on the sixth.

His early work includes being assistant to executive producer Lauren Shuler Donner on Volcano and You've Got Mail.

In the year 2000 he was hired by Marvel as a producer.

On the first X-Men film, Lauren Shuler Donner made Feige an associate producer, due to his knowledge of the Marvel Universe. Impressing Avi Arad, he was hired to work as his second-in-command at Marvel Studios that same year. Feige was named president of production for Marvel Studios in March 2007.
