This makes perfect sense when you realize they already know the film is gonna end with a big cool battle scene shot entirely on green screen. That battle will feature every single marvel character so they can just get those cameos out of the way. Just film each one saying a one-liner, running and punching something.
After you’ve done that, you can write the film and then start shooting the actual story which will involve a handful of characters.
they’ve been operating like this for years, the cgi/choreography/setpiece unit does it’s own thing and the director/writer get to fill in the connective tissue with some actors in costumes. very old fashioned studio stuff but Disney are the only ones who can afford to do it this way now
