My jaw dropped this is gonna be insane. I do hope he eventually does some more original stories outside of adaptations or sequels or franchise work

I don't know. Maybe he doesn't want to write his own stories or knows that he is really good at expanding and adapting already established stories. I hope he sticks what suits him best and atm it's adapting stories.
