Many fans and industry insiders have applauded his courage for stepping away from the safety of established studio systems to venture into what is essentially uncharted territory. However, others have criticized the move as a step backward, arguing that the commitment to inclusivity and diverse storytelling in Hollywood, however imperfect, is essential for the industry’s evolution.

However, detractors worry that this could lead to the exclusion of voices and stories that have only recently begun to find space in mainstream media.
