I also want the best person for the job, but I want someone with a geek pedigree or at least capable of doing engaging action. I don't want a hood flick that everyone can relate to. I don't want an everyday movie, I want something fantastical. Someone to make Panther a larger than life, and not some superstar grounded in reality. BP shouldn't be Daredevil + Batman, at least not as the introduction. That was the one flaw of Thor. Brannagh did an excellent job, but he was taken out of Asgard and had no powers for 90% of the movie. Asgard stuff was very good, the Earth stuff was ehhhh.
I think that Ridley could do it, BUT he's a grumpy old man so he'll be stubborn and heads'll clash. Guy Ritchie could but you're also gonna get some wacky a$$ supporting characters. Wachowski siblings but they can't go nowhere near the sequel.
Fuqua
Cameron and at least Wakanda will be beautiful.
Mario Van Peeples
Charles S Dutton
Forest Whitaker
RZA but he can't touch the script
You want Ridley Scott... The man who spit in the face of every person of color by casting Cacs in a movie about ANCIENT EGYPT and then had the audacity to scoff at people calling bullshyt. To direct BLACK PANTHER
