Shang-Chi Director Quits Directing Avengers: Kang Dynasty

[RAMROD 96,598]

Deadline hears that filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton has decided to step away as director of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Kang Dynasty to focus on his other Marvel projects. This is an amicable exit, I understand, as Cretton remains fully in the Marvel Studios family. 

In fact, Cretton is in talks with Marvel Studios about directing future movies.

Cretton is currently busy on the Marvel Studios/Disney+ series Wonder Man, which he co-created with Andrew Guest, who serves as showrunner. Cretton EPs the series and also directed the first two episodes. The series resumes shooting after Thanksgiving. Wonder Man will be under the new Marvel Spotlight series banner, which are shows that are standalone series and not part of the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Setting precedent that MCU might be slowly moving away from Kang The Destroyer as the big bad as rumored before, because of the Kang's actor's ongoing abuse case

I still don't understand why they don't just recast the guy. They did it before and it wouldn't be too far of in a multiverse where any character can look like anyone.

that is true but also the King storyline is not really going well for them financially so maybe they are using this as an opportunity to pivot?
