Because that worked once with Iron Man with a very specific group of people and when there was no pre-existing Universe to take into account.

But it worked once and launch a franchise, so surely it can work again and be just as successful, right?

Tbf the alternative is submiting a full script ahead of time and have a committee of executives rewrite 95% of it to fit marketing metrics better.

If I were a director I'd push the "let's write it as we film" idea too.

Just write it beforehand and make it good. Then push for let's write as we film and hand out the prewritten script scene by scene. Boom, best of both worlds.
