It appears the creative differences between Marvel and Edgar Wright involve the screen play.
As they move towards principal filming Marvel and Edgar Wright couldn't agree on the screen play. A couple of months ago after reviewing the script Marvel sent a long series of notes back to Edgar Wright and screen writer Joe Cornish. Changes according to rumor involved removing some of Edgar Wright visual comedy sequences, dialog changes in the case of working towards Avengers 3, and out right saying a couple of scenes were non starters.
As the film inched closer to shooting Marvel assigned to screen writers to rework sections of the script and after some final discussions Edgar decided he wanted total control of the product that was going to have his name attached to or he was going to walk.
Here is my take, I know this probably will upset some Edgar Wright fans, but Marvel is investing $200 Million into this project, Marvel has a road map of what needs to be accomplished to get from Avengers: Age of Ultron to Avengers 3. Edgar Wright knew those requirements when he signed on all those years ago. Marvel isn't going to delay the film's release for you, if you don't have a script by now something is way wrong. Marvel's two in house script writers are Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost, they do have some experience in writing films and comics.
I am reminded of something that Alan Rickman once said when discussing big budget films, to paraphrase his sentiment. "You don't make them to make money, you make them so you can afford to do the edgy independent films."
