Black Widow movie brings in new writer for rewrites.

I try not to belittle women by assuming they are weak-minded individuals who aren't strong enough to voice their opinion about their male partners.

Having said that, if Kevin Feige was concerned about the optics in the media of his director choice for a female starring film, he would've never hired a male to co-direct Captain Marvel in the first place.

And if he plans to secretly take control of the directing duties anyways, it would've been a much smarter play to only hire a female director to, as you say, "parade in front of the media".

Considering all of that, it doesn't make much sense to have hired any male director whatsoever.
