TheForce.Net has an interesting article worth reading that goes into all of the directors who have been mentioned before and even some quotes supporting their non-involvement. The most interesting name coming up on all of the list is Joss Whedon, yes he is attached to Avenger’s 2 along with overseeing phase 2 of the Avengers saga, but he is also the most quite about it. According to Comicbook.com he is one of the few rumored directors that have been unusuallu quite. Given his success with Firefly/Serenity plus taking the helm of the Avengers Saga, I, like others are curious if he is going to somehow contribute to the new Star Wars films.
My personal favorite of the group of directors is Guillermo del Toro. With titles like Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy series I would be curious what his imagination could bring to the infinite character possibilities of the Star Wars Universe. Considering his recent involvement with the new Incredible Hulk television show I would not be surprised if he jumped onto a Star Wars project. Here is an article on ign.com discussing this possibility more.
But these are guesses on both my part and others on the web which leaves my director possibilities the same.
