I really like him as a writer/director and he would have brought some interesting smarts to the MCU that it is mostly lacking, but I don't want him distracted away from doing his adaptation of Bad Blood, the story of how Elizabeth Holmes conned so many people with her bogus blood test machine. That was going to be his next project and it needs to happen. (Fantastic, gripping book, by the way.) |

He co-wrote The Big Short and won an Oscar for it, a screenplay that had to take some very complex ideas about the financial collapse in 2007 and make them palatable to a general audience without completely dumbing everything down to the point of meaninglessness. No easy feat. I've read that book, too. |

Well, the Writers Guild, Academy, and numerous other organizations which award excellence in screen writing certainly beg to differ, but if I had read the book first and not afterwards, maybe I'd agree with you. |

He's still interested in doing Silver Surfer!
