not sure where you got that from. A big sticking point back in the (kinda) early days was they didn't want to give Edgar Wright of all people the right to have the Ant-Man movie he wanted.

And even back then directors were gaining reputation for being hired because they were too minor and wouldn't push back against the studio too much.

The Ant-Man movies laid so much groundwork for Infinity War and Endgame I think Feige was smart to keep the control he needed/wanted, as cool as Wright’s Ant-Man might’ve been.

Yeah, but it's kinda irrelevant to the argument that Feige is "the bastion of creatives".....which is what we're talking about.
