Harry Potter and Home Alone director Chris Columbus could have added Marvel producer to his already impressive career with the original 2005 Fantastic Four, but the filmmaker said he was fired from the project due to having too many opinions.
"I had worked on a script. There were a lot of writers involved. They were about to make a movie and I was producing it. I met with the director and had some ideas. I basically said, ‘Some of this conceptual art should feel more like Jack Kirby, the creator of the Fantastic Four, and should feel more like the Silver Age of Marvel,'" explained Columbus on the Fade to Black podcast. "I left that meeting and on the way back from my house, I got a call from the head of 20th Century Fox saying I was fired and had too much of an opinion."
