i wonder if she wanted to make it a more political film, and Marvel said no to have broader appeal. In fact im pretty sure something similar to this happened. she seems like shes a fan of the character and knows the impact hes had.

She probably would like a certain amount of control which isn't wrong or anything but Marvel has a set structure and wants to stick with that formula. With her knowledge of the culture Marvel wasn't ready but we still don't know the tone of the Panther movie either so who knows.

f gary gray bout to be big again with the NWA flick. Hes a possibility.
It would be damn near riot if they got a white director so that limits the field. Watch Spike do it lmao. hes a hardcore marvel fan.

Bet Abbey ends up doing a DC property like Cyborg.
She probably wanted a deep story and Marvel wanted to keep it light, funny and Caucasian friendly.

Marvel always wants a lighthearted tone and comedic elements throughout all their movies. They also seem to be a little more rigid with directors working on their movies unlike DC who gives a little bit more leway. I wouldn't be surprised if DC approaches her at some point for talks with them.

Can't be to mad at Marvel for trying to protect their creations. I wish they had thought about this before letting Sony and Fox have rights to Spidey, X-men and FF...

they were trying to not go bankrupt and not have to sell everything to DC.

At the end of the day Marvel is owned by Disney. That alone should tell you what type of leeway these directors have.
If you not appealing to the masses then its F you and your vision because they are about making money.

yall have to realize marvel is being careful with Black Panther
He is their first black hero, the first POC hero who will get a solo, and the whites hates his name because well yall know why.
They want to be able to be loyal to the heroes mythos, while selling tickets and not offending Blacks or Whites.
they want the $$$$

Black panther will actually sell. There isn't no whites hating that shit cuz most of these comic book nerds are white and want to see a movie about him even though they are a minority

BLACK PANTHER: DIRECTOR AVA DUVERNAY EXPANDS ON WHY SHE PASSED ON THE MARVEL FILM
Selma director Ava DuVernay has elaborated on why she ultimately decided to pass on directing Black Panther, highlighting the sheer commitment involved as a major factor.
"For me, it was a process of trying to figure out, are these people I want to go to bed with?" she said during the closing keynote at the 2015 BlogHer conference (via THR). "Because it’s really a marriage, and for this it would be three years. It’d be three years of not doing other things that are important to me. So it was a question of, is this important enough for me to do?
"At one point, the answer was yes because I thought there was value in putting that kind of imagery into the culture in a worldwide, huge way, in a certain way: excitement, action, fun, all those things, and yet still be focused on a black man as a hero — that would be pretty revolutionary," she added.
However, due to creative differences, DuVernay ultimately decided to decline Marvel's offer. "What my name is on means something to me — these are my children," she continued. "This is my art. This is what will live on after I’m gone. So it’s important to me that that be true to who I was in this moment. And if there’s too much compromise, it really wasn’t going to be an Ava DuVernay film."
That said, DuVernay is still excited for the film and is looking forward to seeing it when it eventually comes to theaters. "I think it should be good when it comes out. I’ll be there, watching."

I knew it.
Maybe Marvel finds a good director and the movie turns out great, but if that quote is truthful, Marvel lost.
