What is interesting here is that similar to the James Gunn situation with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the script is already written, as Eve is based on Matthew Newton's original script. So unless they scrap the script, his name would seemingly still be on the film should it find a new director and make it to theaters, leaving it still open to controversy. Although the script is already written and presumably paid for, and not as much attention is paid to who wrote a film as to who directed it. Despite that, it is still worth noting and watching how it is addressed going forward.
