Not sure many/any director could fill in for Snyder's stylistic choices.

Here is my top 3 list of Directors who could have finished the film for Zack Snyder instead of Whedon
George Miller (Mad Max Franchise)
Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Trilogy)
Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman)
All three of my picks are WB directors who could have stepped in following Zack Snyder's blue print. I believe WB probably went to Nolan first since he was the man in charge who hired Snyder. I do not think we would have gotten such a vast amount of reshoots and changes if any one of these directors would have finished Justice League. Joss Whedon was an extremely poor choice and the amount of authority he had when it came to changes was outrageous. The way WB downplayed his role as if he was just doing really minor things and pickup shots. It's being reported in some places that Whedon reshot over 60% of the film, which makes this a bigger controversy than Richard Donner's Superman II. It should have been an immediate red flag when Whedon fired the composer Junkie XL and replaced him with Danny Elfman. I'm not saying the score was horrible, but the music felt completely out of place when you take into account the previous films. Finally, the extremely pulsating red flag of red flags is the fact that the Cinematographer Fabian Wanger was not involved in anything Joss Whedon did on Justice League!
