TP seems to be giving context to the email that isn’t there - it’s something of a Rorschach test where people see what they want to see. It’s a little naive to think that this subject isn’t going to come up when studios are deciding whether to spend over $100 million on a project. CEO’s don’t get paid for sticking their fingers in the their ears and going LA-LA-LA (well maybe some do).

If I had my guess, the discussion was about the surprise box-office success of “Lucy” (which starred Scarlett Johansson) last summer and prospects for a Black Widow movie in the MCU. The critics didn’t like “Lucy”, but it made a lot of money.
