First off, I'd like to say that I'm new to CBM.com so be gentle :). A lot of people wanted Jon to direct the film, but he won't be, so we have to go through other choices. Here are just a few of directors that I think will be able to handle this "epic".
STEVEN SPIELBERG
Steven is a great director. He's directed great films such as Jaws, Raiders and Saving Private Ryan. Now those last two had two things that Avengers needs: 1) great performances 2)great action sequences. He has the ability to get great performances out of actors and he knows how to shoot spectacular action scenes. He is also a great story teller, which is another important thing Avengers needs.
ALFONSO CUARON
I don't really know how to explain this choice. Something about it just feels right to me. Children of Men was great, especially that last, one take shot of Clive Owen running through all the warfare. Cuaron knows how to direct epic scenarios and has shown that he can also pull great performances out of his actors, as well.
NEILL BLOMKAMP
Now, this is a fan favorite on numerous sites and I can see why. District 9, in my opinion, deserves Best Picture. It was this guys first major film and he knocked it out of the park. I think that he has all the talents needed to bring The Avengers to the screen. Sadly, though, he probably won't direct it, since he said that he doesn't want to direct big budgeted movies. But you never know.
MATTHEW VAUGHN
Here's another fan favorite. He also wants to direct The Avengers. He has a great style when it comes to his films. Now I haven't seen his films yet, but I just threw this name in because everyone else likes him. Also, Kick-Ass looks awesome :).
LOUIS LETERRIER
This guy is a great choice for The Avengers! He directed The Incredible Hulk, which was awesome and Clash of the Titans looks epic! So i think that he would be able to make the Avengers something to behold. But, really cool action scenes aren't the only thing that needs to be in Avengers. Can he do more then that? I think so.
MARC FORSTER
I'm not the only one that really liked Quantum of Solace, am I? I thought that Marc did a great job with the sequel to Casino Royale. And that would be no easy task in order to live up to Martin Campbell's great movie. He has shown with Quantum Of Solace and Monster's Ball that he is pretty damn good at directing action and making quality films.
And who do I think is the best person to direct The Avengers you ask? Well, I don't have just one...
JOE JOHNSTON, JON FAVREAU, KENNETH BRANAGH, AND LOUIS LETERRIER
I personally think that the directors of The Incredible Hulk, Thor, The First Avenger: Captain America, and Iron Man should come together and direct Avengers themselves. Now this is a long shot, but I think that it would be the best idea for the directors of all the canon films to direct the film their films have been leading to. It just makes sense, doesn't it?
Well, that's all I have to say. (Sorry that some of the pictures are big, I couldn't really find any smaller ones. damn you photobucket!) Tell me what you think in the comments below. ;)
