He wouldn't even let a legend like Edgar Wright try anything new.

Again, this is just blatantly wrong.

You can read articles and listen to interviews with both parties, and I have, so let me explain a few things to you.

First I'll start actually with multiple interviews I've heard from Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Markus_and_Stephen_McFeely

Who wrote all 3 Captain America movies. As well as Infinity War and Endgame.

Who have said, on multiple occasions. Feige has a complete picture in his head, but he trusts the people below him. And when they're sitting there for hours trying to figure where to go and how to get there. Feige is the man that comes in and perfectly seals it with a bow. He's the one that said to them, what if Thanos does the Snap. And that wasn't him telling them what to do. That was him giving them the keys to the car and telling them to go joyriding for the weekend.

Back to Edgar Wright though. Because we're all disappointed we didn't get to see his version of Ant Man. But it's A LOT more complicated then you're framing it as. It was ultimately Marvel saying "Play by our rules" but it was also like 7 fucking years of contractual misalignments between Marvel and Wright. Marvel wanted Ant Man in the original roster of Avengers, right there with Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and the rest. However Wright had wanted to do other things at the time, so they built the franchise with what they had instead, and shelved Ant Man until 2015ish.

Then, when production actually started. It became quickly apparent that Wright wouldn't play ball AT ALL. He didn't want ANY "studio meddling" in his movie, which doesn't fucking work if you need a couple pieces from a studio perspective. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you who's Wright or Wrong here between Marvel and him. I do wish we got his complete version. But look the fuckin credits

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478970/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

He has Story and Screenplay credits for the movie we got. It's by large influenced by him. AND if you watch the fuckin thing, what exactly did Marvel ask Peyton Reed to include to connect back to the MCU? A scene with a young Hank Pym, a Scene vs the Falcon (Which like all this MCU ages very well) and a stinger at the end....

I don't think Wright was Right. At all personally, it sounds like he was pretty difficult to work with.
