Chris McKenna

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.
