No judgement on his skill as a producer but Kinberg sucks as a writer from what I've seen of his. He strikes me as a studio-friendly hack, and this is a dumb move to keep the franchise "safe" rather than trying better to make it interesting.

This is the guy who wrote X-Men: The Last Stand, where Jean Grey becomes Dark Phoenix, beloved characters die, and she must be defeated in a bittersweet moment of clarity and sacrifice. It performed very poorly and the franchise went into hibernation as a result.
