Marvel Directors Don"t Really Direct The Movies? Bold Claim Comes To Light

:0:0

Marvel Cinematic Universe directors don't really direct their movies, Marvel Studios does, according to a bold claim that has come to light. For quite some time, the MCU has had to deal with a part of the audience, as well as some critics, claiming Marvel Studios has too much control over its movie output, limiting what directors can do, and generating similar products across the board. While a few directors, such as James Gunn, Taika Waititi, and Chloé Zhao have clearly infused their style in their MCU movies, a new report claims some films can be attributed to Marvel Studios, rather than the director.
According to Hollywood reporter Chris Lee on the podcast The Town with Matthew Belloni, the longtime Marvel executive Victoria Alonso, who was recently fired by the studio, once told a Marvel filmmaker that another director who had helmed one of "the biggest movies Marvel’s ever put out" did not really deserve credit for the movie. According to Lee, Alonso said about that director: "They don’t direct the movies. We direct the movies." The bold claim, if real, speaks to a longtime Marvel Studios problem, and adds another mark to the MCU's current behind-the-scenes issues. Check out the full quote below:

Around the time of Victoria Alonso’s dismissal, I was DM’ing with an extremely well-known director who had worked on a Marvel film, and she was relating some remarks that Victoria had said to her about another filmmaker, who directed, let’s just say, it was one of the biggest movies Marvel’s ever put out. And (Alonso) was talking about this guy and (Alonso) said, ‘They don’t direct the movies. We direct the movies.’ Meaning that the filmmakers don’t have creative control over the look of the films that Marvel does.
