Why He Could Fix It: Ron Howard is a director who lives and dies by his scripts: he rarely elevates poor material or makes a mess out of a great story, so as long as the script isn't an issue, he can probably knock this out in his sleep.

How Likely Is It?: Howard is reportedly the top choice for the job and may very well be announced as the new director in the coming days, what with his decades-long directing career, much of which has been in the blockbuster arena.

He's an extremely safe if also fairly boring choice, which makes it all the more likely he'll actually get the job. 9/10
