I don't know about a hot-shot. He practically vanished for years after Superman Returns - I just skimmed his Wiki out of curiosity and dude hasn't been doing much but producing since the year after that film - until DoFP brought him back into the light. The leeway was likely because the guy made them a lot of money in the past and their X-Men output since him had failed miserably, rather than him having any clout. But then Apocalypse happened.

Through Justice League, sure, but even that's questionable. Sounds like they went through rigorous re-shoots, so much so I wonder if it's going to feel like a Snyder film at all. It's going to be a goddamn mess either way, but the way WB seems to be panicking and how they seem like they might be pulling back on the shared universe stuff for now, it sounds like it might be dead regardless.
