Hanna was like Joe Wright really wanted to do a great action film but all the pieces just weren't in play. But from a design standpoint, the guy is a master. Sure everything else but Hanna are period piece-styled dramas, but man are they gorgeous. And on top of that, Wright as proved he's very apt at one thing in the particularly gut-wrenching, heartstrings-pulling, emotional story-telling. Considering Marc Webb has set the franchise up to be part love story, and inevitably Mary Jane is going to work her way into that, it couldn't hurt to have a director who knows his way around the lovey-dovey stuff as well as he does orchestrating a big-budget action film. Don't let the tear-jerkers fool you, a director capable of three masterpiece adaptations - Pride and Prejudic, Atonement, Anna Karenin - could easily handle the flashy colors and explosions that come along with a Spider-Man film. He'd be an underdog choice for sure, and one likely to come attached to the inevitable fan outcry of, "Why God?" But it shouldn't rule him out. A director with an eye for production design and dramatic storytelling can often help take your stereotypical blockbuster and give it a much need injection of heart and reality. By the time we get to Spider-Man 4 you might feel like you've seen it all already. Guys like Wright can help you rethink that assessment.
