That’s one way of looking at it. Another is his last two movies for them got good reviews (both 90s on RT) and were hits, the last one doing a billion bucks? They seem to get along. Why rock the boat? (What bookkeepers would want to?)
As for FF, who knows maybe he delivered a FF pitch which knocked their socks off and a guy who they trust is a bonus in making a Marvel IP on film successful for once finally despite a lengthy pathetic track record?
