7. Morten Tyldum

Tyldum is a name you probably don't recognize, unless you're one of the fortune folks who have seen Headhunters. Check it out. It's on Netflix and is a better thriller than American cinema has spit out in years. He's got a few American films coming up, including one starring Benedict Cumberbatch, who really has to have a Time Turner or something to make it possible for him to appear in every film. It must get tiring, being in all of those GIFs. Tyldum has a very interesting and dark sensibility and would be wonderful behind the camera of a really taught and suspenseful superhero film.
