Directors you'd like to see contribute to the Marvel film universe?

Sawyer · 05-24-2009, 12:40 PM

Thus far, we have Jon Favreau on the Iron Man films, Louis Leterrier on The Incredible Hulk, Kenneth Branagh for Thor, Joe Johnston for Captain America and possibly Edgar Wright for Antman.

What directors would you like to see make further contributions to the film universe Marvel Studios is setting up? For movies like Nick Fury, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Runaways, etc?

ObakeTora · 05-24-2009, 11:30 PM

I'd like them to bring Stephen Norrington back. Blade 1 gave me fond memories of the first Mortal Kombat.

I know Tom Hanks is a Marvel fan, and he did a great job directing THAT THING YOU DO, so I would like to see him directing a Marvel movie. Maybe Fox can get him onboard for the next FF movie!

bubbadoom · 05-25-2009, 01:24 AM

Roman Coppola for DR. STRANGE, he's been wanting to do one for YEARS!

A del Toro on just about any Marvel movie. Boy, I wish he had taken Avi up on the FF when it was offered to him.

I'd like to see a John Carpenter directed Ghost Rider reboot.

Michael Bay should direct a Civil War trilogy.

Was this a serious suggestion?

Spielberg gets my nod for a WWII Cap movie.

Of course. But someone with a Burn Notice avatar, shouldn't be so offended

Matt Murdock · 05-25-2009, 02:37 AM

I wasn't offended.

A Ghost Rider film directed by a someone known for horror and Sci-Fi films.... sounds interesting (though, I have not seen any Carpenter films).

Wesley Dodds · 05-25-2009, 07:20 AM

Awwww, man... You have to check out Carpenters early stuff! You owe it to yourself!

Ace of Knaves · 05-25-2009, 07:24 AM

double

Ace of Knaves · 05-25-2009, 07:25 AM

Yea The Thing is one of the greatest movies ever IMO.

Robert Rodriguez for Deadpool. That would be insane.

returntovoid · 05-25-2009, 07:33 AM

I'd like to see a X-Men reboot directed by Peter Jackson.

Wesley Dodds · 05-25-2009, 07:37 AM

Rodriguez could make a great Deadpool flick. Especially if he ditches this blue screen, 'only the actors are real' kick he's been on and goes back to the good old days of El Mariachi and Desperado... Where did that Rodriguez go?

Steve Holt · 05-25-2009, 07:57 AM

Fincher, Ridley Scott, Del Toro, Peter Jackson, DJ Caruso

Sawyer · 05-25-2009, 11:34 AM

Okay... none of this FOX bull**** guys. Only the stuff thats gonna tie into the Avengers/Marvel Studios universe. No F4. No Ghost Rider. Hell, Ghost Rider was dead to me before the movie even came out...

Yea El Mariachi and Desperado are sick. I thought Planet Terror was great too though.

Wesley Dodds · 05-25-2009, 12:52 PM

Thats true. Planet Terror's the best thing he's done since Dusk Til' Dawn... All this greenscreen stuff he does these days, it was fun for a while but now its just boring the tits off me.

The Deadpool movie has to be shot for real. Real stunts. Real locations... It needs to be a big, balls-out mental movie... It shouldnt look like ****in' Spy Kids.

Ace of Knaves · 05-25-2009, 01:08 PM

HAHA yea you know that. They should definitely do it real, makes it more brutal and visceral. And it also keeps the budget down, and the lower the budget, more chance it will be R/18. But I doubt that.

irapogi · 05-25-2009, 02:05 PM

another option for deadpool, the guys who made the Crank movies
they're known for over the top action that doesnt take itself seriously and makes fun of itself.

thoughts?

Ace of Knaves · 05-25-2009, 03:36 PM

Yea I think they could make a great Deadpool movie.

If I never see another FOX Marvel movie again it will be too soon

(Ghost Rider isn't FOX, it's Sony. Not that I want to see another Ghost Rider movie, either

)
