Isn’t this…SOP? Like, that’s one of the reasons James Gunn has specifically said he won’t do a movie unless there’s a finished script?
I feel like they have basic ideas in place and a majority of the script but like to adapt based on new ideas or problems that they encounter while putting together their movies.
At a press event, Feige denied that Marvel had ever started a movie without a full script, but did say he’s never been happy with a script or even finished movie. Instead, he said he and Marvel preferred “plus-ing at every turn.”
In fact, there is “plus-ing” occurring on the set of Avengers: Doomsday as we speak.
“There’s plus-ing happening every day on the Avengers: Doomsday set right now, and it is amazing to watch because what those filmmakers, those actors, both the ones that are playing these characters for the first or second time and the one playing them for the 10th or 12th time, are the best in the world at it, and know these characters so well,” Feige said (H/T The Hollywood Reporter). “So if they have an idea, you want to listen to it and you want to adjust to it and you want to improve it. I wouldn’t want to change that.”
In my uninformed opinion, it’s likely a part connecting Act 2 to Act 3 that they aren’t totally happy with and are trying to either smooth out or replace.
It’s either that or actors are only given specific parts of scripts that relate to their character and not the whole thing. It’s been talked about a lot.
I see… People in colourful costumes, explosions…
Brilliant! Call the actors, I’m getting a crew together. Oh, and see if you can find someone to flesh the script out a bit. We start filming on monday.

Yeah, Feige talked about it recently.
Sounds like a good way to do it to me.
Yes, thank you. I was thinking by about this exact thing when I wrote my comment so I appreciate you digging it up and posting it.

What is SOP in this context??
Standard operating procedure. They often leave scripts unfinished so they have ways to change things up as they see fit.
See this reply to me for context.
