Director suggestions for forthcoming Marvel films

Marvel are gently bruising the headlines today after reaching out to Selma director Ava DuVernay in the hope that she might agree to direct either Black Panther or Captain Marvel. Why they have approached this African American woman for the job of helming either a film about an African American superhero or a film about a superhero who is a woman is so far unclear - it could just be that she's a good director for all we know, after all, Selma was a three-star almost-smash hit.

Here, then, are the obvious and painfully literal director choices for just some of Marvel's eight thousand forthcoming films, including Black Panther and Captain Marvel just in case DuVernay turns them down.
