You should really add reasoning, otherwise this is just a useless list.

But I'd love to see Brad Bird, or Jon Favreau tackle the project.

You need to include reasons instead of just pictures of the directors. WHY would they make decent replacements for Wright. Also, I am pretty sure that your number one was a joke ...but you couldn't tell because you didn't write anything about WHY you chose who you chose. Out of context it just seems like you picked the ten directors names that you knew while also completely disregarding the logistics if they had projects that would keep them from it.

Editorials are trying to convince your readers of something and to do that you need to give your opinion on things. Just stating something does NOT do that. It also just wastes our time.

Some of you should know that every article I post on this site cannot have everything you want to see.

While I'm voting for Michael Bay, Brad Bird seems to be the #1 choice so far

Nolan would never come back and do a CBM. It's beneath him.

IF Ant-Man MUST happen, how about George Nolfi (Adjustment Bureau)as director?

Did you seriously pick a guy who is connected to Fox and a guy who is connected to Sony to direct a Marvel film?

It's pointless naming Spielberg and Nolan since they would never do it.

@AlexanderLykins Ya, your article was way better.

@Predatorrising

Especially when what we want to see is actual text explaining WHY you think these people should take over as Ant Man director. This is just pictures of directors who have done CBM's. If you cannot take the time to come up with a CREATIVE list that isn't re-treading names that are already connected to CBM's (or the only directors that you know of is my guess) and not even given reason to these choices then just don't post articles ...you obviously do not have anything worth saying that dictates you wasting your time 'write' this or even worse our time to read it.

As the list gets higher, or picks get worse.

Jesus, you just don't care do you PredatorRising? None of these people would direct Ant-Man because they're all caught up in other projects or just wouldn't bloody do it.

I agree with whoever said Richard Ayoade, great director.

Half these directors are too good to ever be associated with a D-list superhero like Ant-Man. It's an insult to even suggest that. Give it to Bay as punishment.

Why don't you put Quentin Tarantino and Martin scorcese on the list while you're at it because you've already put the most mainstream directors of the last decade.

Some of your choices are strange. Should have just had all them be Nolan.

A Nolan Ant-Man film would be interesting.
