Edgar Wright had envisioned this movie as more of a goofball comedy-heist with action moments so I think the casting works. From what I've heard the split came because his idea was far more removed from the MCU than the producers wanted it to be, and considering the split happened just before the movie went into production I doubt there was much time to completely change what was originally intended. I think Paul Rudd will be more like an Indiana Jones, getting by largely on dumb luck augmented by skill.
