I have read that sometimes the Star or director will negotiate a deal where they agree to do the derivative blockbuster/sequel/whatever in exchange for the studio backing their pet project. So in this case maybe Gerwig gets paid the big bucks to do a studio designed movie in exchange for studio backing for a more creative movie she really wants to do.

Yeah, I think it was Scorsese who said that he did “one for them, one for me”.
