My Take

Chris McKenna is one of those writers who quietly controls a project's pulse. From the absurdist warmth of Community to the broad satire of American Dad! and the heart of The Mindy Project, then onto the MCU Spider-Man films, his range is genuinely rare. The San Bernardino native understands both the rhythm of a comedy room and the architecture of a tentpole blockbuster, which almost nobody pulls off. I think his real gift is tonal control - knowing exactly how silly or how sincere a scene should be. He works in the background, but films lean on people like him to stay upright.

Overview

Chris McKenna is an American television writer, film producer, screenwriter, and television producer. He has written for American Dad!, Community, and The Mindy Project, and the Spider-Man films set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (2017–present).
