I mean there are A LOT of excellent directors out there. The issue is giving them the freedom to direct.

Look at The Eternals. Chloé Zhao coming fresh off of Nomadland is an odd choice for a Marvel film director.

I don't think Marvel made a mistake giving Chloé a chance, I think that's how we can get some really great films.

However what we got in the end didn't feel that special. Kit Harringtons character didn't have much to do. All the other characters didn't get much screen time as it was.

What Marvel has done historically has worked, but I think they need to rethink things a bit going forward.

Sam Raimi is actually a good example of this. Doctor Strange was still largely a standard Marvel film, but no question it was also a Sam Raimi film.

I loved DSMoM, but I believe many hated the Raimi-ness of it.
