What Is An Executive Producer? Hollywood’s Most Confounding Movie Credit Explained

“Executive producer” is one of the most prominent screen credits, but various definitions make the title a confusing one. Movies often feature numerous executive producers per project, with some of the names even attached to their own production houses. The more company logos appear at the beginning of a film, the more executive producers it has. Some Marvel Studios executive producers feature so prominently in the credits to those films, that they start to become recognizable names in themselves.
