MOVIE NEWS – There’s a chance that Antonie Fuqua – the director of the Training Day and The Equalizer – will direct one of the upcoming Marvel movies.

Antonie Fuqua recently gave an interview in which he talked about adapting comic books to movies. He said that he was asked numerous times in the past to direct one but so far he refused all of the offers. But now things can change.

According to him, he will have a meeting soon with Kevin Feige (head of Marvel’ movie section) and although they will „just talk”, it’s more than likely that Fiege will present and explain some upcoming projects to him. Then it will turn out if he is interested in any of them or not.

“I’ve been approached about (superhero movies)… For me it has to be the right one, in the right situation because there’s so much visual effects going on and – Where’s the director in it all? I need to understand it because it’s like management… they have a machine, they’ve got people, there’s the design, the whole thing is sketched out… Is the director doing that? Or is it a hundred other people?”

Fuqua also said that he grew up with comic books and now that he has a 13-year-old soon, he has more motivation to do a movie in this genre.
