Marvel's Chinese universe has now been tightly for nearly two decades. It all dates back to the 2008 "Ironeles Man". Directed by Jonon Javre, no one could expect Robert Downey Runior's order as Tony Stark to build an empire that led to over $ 30 billion to the global treasurer, with Marvel Studio rapidly approaching his 40s.

Although he might not get much credit, there was a moment in the summer of 2015 when it was clear that MCC had hit a certain fever for the film. At that moment it came when director Peyton Reed "Ant-Hoen" hit theaters. So far, one of the biggest changes Marvel has taken over giving the spotlight in the spotlight, which has not been guaranteed audiences by any means, has become a significant hit, taking $ 519 million worldwide against a reasonable $ 130m budget.

It has helped catapult the very popular Paul Rudd at another level of the Global Superstwar. It gave MCU another franchise to build, and made Reed be in a much, much larger director than it was before. And yet, 10 years removed, for the whole success of the film, remains the sick thumb of it. That sick thumb is the director Edgar Wright, who after making his beloved cult classics like "John of the Dead" and "Hotese Fuz", Years have been developing a version of Ant-Man that has never seen the light of day.

Full decade later, Wright's version of the film still feels like MCU's biggest missed opportunity and the one that feels particularly relevant today. Wright spent years working on Ant-human Even appear in one of the earliest panels of Marvel Studio study to tease his taking the character. He will step down to other projects, such as "The End of the World" and "Scott Adjir against the world", and Marvel's schedule will be filled with other projects, including everything from Thor to Galaxy Guardians.

Wright will step down to other projects, such as "The End of the World" and "Scott Adjir against the world", and Marvel's schedule will be filled with other projects, including everything from Thor to Galaxy's "Guardians". All the time, Marvel got stuck with Wright and stepped up his vision, with the director waiting patiently in the wings.

Then it all passed in the stomach. Just a few months before production begins, Studio Wright and Marvel split in ways through "creative differences". While Wright's scenario has been discovered in the years, he is a very characteristic director and, although he has worked very well for them for a long time, Marvel Studio was not the first directors. It was more than the situation with the plugin and the game for many of the executives who were engaged, with rare exceptions like Jameseshes Gunni's Guardians, but even he had his frustrations that tend to the larger universe.

In the coming weeks that followed, Marvel hired Reed, then best known for "bring it", In what seemed pretty transparent as a "rental gun" situation. Credit due to the loan, Reid played the ball and made the most of the film, making the film Kevin Jegie and as they clearly wanted to do. It is difficult, at least on paper, to argue against the results. Critics and audiences liked good enough, and it was a hit of one's definition.

Even so, it is still difficult not to ask what would bring Wright. This is something that he was deeply passionate and stuck for a better part of a decade. What was Marvel frightened of? Isn't the whole point of seriously earned success to take creative risks? Why not bet on the man who made one of the best zombie movies of all time because of heaven? People have made it very clear to see Ant-man because they were sold to MCC as greater concern at that moment. It could have been an opportunity to allow a visionary as Wright to do his job, opening all kinds of doors for the future.

Instead, Marvel Studio and Disney played it crazy safely.

To be clear, this is not bad about "Ant-man" as it exists. It's a perfectly beautiful movie that exists somewhere in the middle of the MCU package. What I say is that it is difficult not to see that Wright a) took care deeply for the project and took it, and b) that Marvel Studios withdrew from his download because he did not gel with their bigger species.

This is where the "Chinese Universe" of it has become something the enemy of the individual film in question. This is also not to say anything about how bad it is that Marvel Studio has stuck Wright for all those years, just to finally reduce the last minute relationships. It remains, as children can say, is not cool, brother.

Also does not help it Director "Avengers" Ossos Vedon praised Wright's script and mourned the director's departure from the project. He was not alone, and it is easy to see why. But for a decade removed, this moment really took over the new meaning. It's no secret that MCC has been struggling in recent years, with films like "Winds", "Black Widow", "Quantania", "Marveli", "Captain America: The Brave New World" and "Thunderbolt" are all struggling to live according to commercial expectations.

During that part, the director's likes Eternals Chloe Haao ("Nomadland") And the director of "Marwels" Nia Dacosta ("Candiman") had to reveal the hard way What is it like to enter MCC with a vision. These visions were compromised during this process, and the audience has greatly reduced the final product. Maybe this happened to Wright if he tried to play the ball?

In here and now, it feels like Wright's bail in favor of the safer option haunted MCC. Things that really clicked are or were massive films like "Spider-Man: No Made Home" or works with a clear kind, like "Shang-Chi". Playing safely seems to hurt (or at least doesn't help) on MCU. In a way, it feels like "play it safe so as not to risk alienating the audience", the mentality is looking for its roots back to this key decision 10 years ago.

The hope is that Marvel Studios understands this and we may be leaning in a number of films driven by the creator in the coming years, rather than keeping his hands on 10 and 2 until the car runs out of gasoline.
