This was a problem before Marvel or the Star Wars reboots. Execs will always go for what seems safer and an established IP with a fanbase is safer than something brand new. A tale as old as time.
Also cinema is so old that nothing new happens. The same problem occurred in the 30s, 50s, etc… each time needing a “new wave” to break the execs out of their trance.
And they’re right. People are more willing to pay for things they’re familiar with. People keep blaming movie studios for doing what People clearly want.
