Nate Moore, the Secret Weapon Behind Marvel's On-Screen Blackness

Nate Moore has achieved a Marvel feat of his own: Going from reading comics as a kid to landing as executive producer alongside Marvel mastermind Stan Lee himself for the iconic brand’s latest global smash Captain America: Civil War. To say that’s worlds away for a kid who grew up with a single mother, two sisters, an older brother and a love for the movies in Clovis, California, a mid-sized town over three hours from Los Angeles, is far from cliché. An internship with Columbia Pictures led to his first industry job as an assistant there as well as his first brush with Marvel working on Spider-Man. A little over six years ago, he officially joined the universe and, on the big screen, has helped spread the Marvel magic to a new generation.
