Author Details

Kai Young is a Senior Writer for Screen Rant. Based in sometimes-sunny Brighton, UK, he graduated with a master's degree in Creative Performance Practice from London South Bank University in 2019, with a passion for performing and creative writing, as well as having a background of reviewing films and TV shows.

Industry Focus

Kai joined Screen Rant in 2022, and specializes in writing about superheroes, whether that be from Marvel, DC, or anything in between. He has been a lover of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since its beginnings, and is still a dedicated fan who is starting to become invested in the comics as well as the live-action projects.

Favorite Media

Kai's love for indie cinema as well as the blockbusters of the MCU mean that he appreciates Marvel's character studies as well as the superhero action. Guardians of the Galaxy, Eternals, Moon Knight, and Ant-Man are a few of his favorite MCU projects. Of course, anything directed by the Russo Brothers gets top marks too.
