While some viewers were happy with the direction that the superhero franchise has diverted to. Similar to a majority of the projects of Phase 4, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, has failed to wow its fans with the story they developed.

Prior to the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the film had high expectations, and Kevin Feige hoped that the film written by Jeff Loveness would do well at the Box Office. However, the film was bombarded with negative reviews by critics and fans, becoming another failed project which marked the beginning of Phase 5.
Recently, during The Hot Mic podcast, Jeff Sneider talked about how Marvel is not doing well, and their scripts fail to hook the audience’s attention. However, one can not fail to notice that over the past few months, The President of Marvel Studios is hiring experienced and better writers for the script of their upcoming projects before their audiences “turns on them.”
“Marvel’s got a secret, that is hiding in plain sight. I’ll tell you the secret, the secret is that their movies are not that good. They know that their movies are not that good. Okay? They know that the scripts in particular have been pretty bad. And that’s why if you have been paying attention the last few weeks or months, you’ll note that Marvel has been spending has been spending a lot more money on writers.”
The industry insider shared how Kevin Feige is going after some renowned scriptwriters for some of their highly anticipated projects, as they have hired names like Nic Pizzolatto, Josh Friedman, and Lee Sung Jin for their projects.
“Just today, we saw the news that Nic Pizzolatto as the new writer on Blade. Just like Josh Friedman, the expensive Sarah Chronicles writer, that he’s a big name right there in this town, they got him for Fantastic Four, Lee Sung Jin, the Beef creator they just hired. Pay attention guys, they’re not going for newbie writers anymore like they’re going out to some heavy hitters for writers, that’s the Marvel secret that no one has talked about yet.”
Sneider added that the Marvel boss has realized the shortcomings of their projects, and they are making sure to fill them before their ardent fans start to criticize them for their disappointing projects.
“They are now paying for writers because they realize these f**king scripts got to get better because our audience is going to turn on us. Yeah, it can’t go on forever.”
Since the foundation of a good movie starts with a good script, Feige has noticed this and he is making to make all the necessary steps to make sure their projects would be a smash hit. Similar to their earlier Phases and fans would be eager to go to the theatres to watch their movies.
Kevin Feige Is Going All Out For The Upcoming MCU Projects
In a separate episode of The Hot Mic podcast, Jeff Sneider was discussing the upcoming Marvel projects, he said, “Feige does want to hire more established talent behind the camera.” While the Marvel boss does not want to oversee Sam Raini’s work in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and wanted to follow the same with Matt Shakman’s Fantastic Four.
Despite no official announcements from the studio yet, it is expected that Jeff Loveness and Michael Waldron will be substituted with veteran writers, as they were responsible for some of the most disappointing MCU projects.
