After Ben Affleck denied that he was ever officially asked by Warner Bros. to direct the Justice League movie, a new name has been tossed into the internet rumor mill: Wachowski, as in Andy and Lana Wachowski of The Matrix (and Cloud Atlas, V For Vendetta, and Bound). The siblings are now apparently on the WB’s short list to direct the DC Comics ensemble answer to Marvel’s The Avengers. It’s pure, unadulterated rumor right now, but it’s a cool one, for sure. And Hugo Weaving would probably be on board for that, which is pretty boss. (via The AV Club)
