The McU has become the most dominant franchise in Hollywood, over a course of 20+ movies spanning more than a decade. While that kind of achievement is impressive, it has also led to some fans complaining that every Marvel movie looks and feels the same, no matter who directs the film. According to filmmaker Xavier Gens, who directed the 2007 action-thriller Hitman, Marvel Studios insists on taking complete charge of the action and CGI sequences of each of their films, which is why Gens turned down the chance to make an McU feature.
"I was in discussion with différents studios [including Marvel]. But now, I understand that the previews of the digital effects and action scenes are done by VFX companies like the Third floor in London, and that I would be there to take care of only the direction of the actors... As director living in Europe, we are in charge of the entire process of the film.
