Confusing Directorial Choices...

[legendarymatt92]

After reading threads on this forum for a while for upcoming films, I've realised something - choosing directors for new projects or sequels seems to come up with some confusing, and often unknown, names. To name the three that have confused me recently:

Thor 2 - Alan Taylor (although I'd heard of The Emperor's New Clothes, I'd never really heard of him or his other work; he doesn't strike me as the kind of director to helm a superhero film but, then again, neither did Kenneth Branagh)

Captain America 2 - Russo Brothers (known for You, Me and Dupree - need I say anymore about the obvious problems here?)

Kick Ass 2 - Jeff Wadlow (had never heard of him, and am still quite confused as to why someone so inexperienced would be chosen to direct something so high profile)

I'm sure you guys have many more examples of directors chosen to helm projects that are seemingly too against their normal releases. I couldn't find another thread like this, but maybe that's because no one will like it
