The "alleged" story/spin is that Marvel wanted to give the director the ability to cast vs being stuck with pre-arranged talent.
Now if that's the truth or not, and Marvel was just being cheap ala BLADE for under $100 million, don't know. It's not like Marvel has given that option to most (if any) of their other directors.
JKRAS has indicated that he just got a real informal call from Feige on the set of JACK RYAN, he flew out for a day, and that since then it has been radio silence.
