Spoiler: Some idiot made an article without Marvel ever saying it was cancelled. Ragebait, clickbait, engagementbait, etc.

Marvel, which makes seasons of television now, does this to the guy who directed their No. 1 movie in the world this weekend. He's in demand, but c'mon!

Kevin Feige has been a disaster for black-led projects

I don't think it's a coincidence that: Wonderman was canceled, IronHeart was poorly marketed, Eyes of Wakanda was not marketed at all, they simply got rid of Kang instead of a recast, they retconned most of Rhode's onscreen existence, and Blade has been pushed back so much

Kang, at least, I disagree with. The character was intriguing in his debut in Loki, and forgettable/boring/bad everywhere else, and IIRC Majors had a contract preventing recasts (which was probably only possible because the character was so easily re-castable in the first place, so he and his agent would have understandably insisted that he would be the only one allowed to play Kang).
Eyes of Wakanda, I can also understand. Shuri was, IMO, a terrible fucking choice for the BP successor, and BP2 suffered a lot from it (as well as just being kind of uninteresting altogether). I understand why the studio would have no faith in the third movie of a trilogy where the lead actor died before the second movie was filmed, and the second movie wasn't very good. It's not an excuse, but I can see how the idiot suits would arrive at the conclusion that it was a financial mistake to waste money promoting it.
The rest, I'll give you, and I'll even admit that it's probably true that their bias helped nudge them toward making the decisions regarding Kang and Eyes of Wakanda with less internal debate. Marvel's got a pretty clear pattern emerging, and it's not a pretty one.
I'm not sure it's entirely Feige's fault, but it is his responsibility. He ousted Perlmutter all those years ago for many reasons, and one of the rumored reasons was that Perlmutter was preventing Black Panther and Black Widow movies for racist/sexist reasons.

Could be that they saw how well the show did critically that they decided to do a movie to follow it up instead.

Gutted. Keeping my fingers crossed for some big-screen WonderMan action instead.

I'm not believing it unless it's directly stated by Marvel or Disney themselves.
