Yea, Apes 3 is scheduled for the same month as Thor 3... July 2017. Matt Reeves would be an ideal choice, but we can obviously scratch him off the list unless something catastrophic happens with the next Apes movie.
I thought Godzilla was merely kinda OK. Wasn't a big fan of the narrative throughline at all. All of the monster stuff was cool, but not anything groundbreaking or something we haven't seen before. The human characters had zero emotional resonance with me after Bryan Cranston's character bit the dust.
Apples vs. oranges to an extent, but I actually thought Thor 2 was a much better overall film than Godzilla, and a slightly better directed one. Both films had way too many questionable directorial decisions though. I wouldn't trust Edwards with an MCU film at this point. I like
some of his instincts, but I think he needs more polish. Let him ply his craft for a few years and then maybe he can do Thor 5 or Nova 2 or something.
Brad Bird would be my absolute favorite. This isn't evidence based and just stems from a rather vague vibe, but if Tomorrowland is hugely successful, I get the feeling that he would rather do something original than helm an existing franchise. Sell Bird on Ragnarok, Feige! We can do this!
