I can name at least two. There's Kenneth Branagh with his understanding of Shakespearean drama and translating it onto the silver screen. James Gunn definitely has a quirky, tongue-in-cheek style of filmmaking that no other director in the MCU has.

Auteurs have control over content. MCU directors do not. Those that try get booted by Disney.
Branagh was involved before Marvel was owned by Disney.

That's right Kenneth did make a MCU movie and it was Thor?
How the hell did he make a lackluster Thor movie?
I'm even more pissed off at that movie now.

I asked the same question when it came out, especially as it seems like Branagh could be a great choice for a Thor movie—not for the action, that is, but for the big, epical canvas, the whole nine worlds and all that. Shakesperean proportions, the story. And the movie stinks. I have worse memories of it than I do of The Dark World, which was forgettable, or IM3, which I actually liked, or IM2, which I thought wasn’t anything great but just fine. So what gives, Ken? Especially as Branagh turned in a surprisingly great Cinderella live-action adaptation for Disney (OK, yes, Marvel wasn’t owned by Disney then, but the point stands). I have no idea why it’s so poor. ________________________ Other auteurs in the MCU? Well, doesn’t the form itself—“shared universes”—suppress the expression of individual talent to some degree, unless one individual director is responsible for all of it? That’s one of my major criticisms with the concept per se. The Marvel people also seem to go out of their way to hire adequate directors who can bring scripts to life without putting much of a personal twist on it—but, on the other hand, they tend to hire the right people for the task at hand. Thus I thought Captain America: The First Avenger to show Joe Johnston’s distinctive handling behind it, and Iron Man 3 to be surprisingly unique and “quirky” as well (not sure who directed that). |

Including the necessary Christmas setting. |

Yeah, I don’t know Black, but that one had a different mood from any of the others I’ve seen. I thought it was great too. It actually reminded me of the first one in how it gently mocked the form of the thing (the kid-sidekick, for example, who then ends up not being the kid-sidekick. Clever. And of course the superb Mandarin twist). |

I've always thought we needed a PT Anderson MCU film. Two and a half hours of the shawarma scene from Avengers, what more could you ask of a superhero movie?

I'll go with three: Kenneth Branagh, James Gunn, and Ryan Coogler. IMO.
BUT they wont do their most auteurish work in MCU. Being part of MCU means adapting to their way of doing things. |

Plenty, but at the end of the day they have to report to Kevin Feige so they can't be that bold with their creative choices.
