8 Movie Franchises That Should’ve Changed Directors

It’s common for major movie franchises to switch directors frequently, but oftentimes, franchises have stuck with the same vision when it wasn’t working, resulting in weak installments. Film is a director’s medium, but franchise movies often rely more on their intellectual property than their director. Typically, big blockbuster movies have a larger creative team making decisions rather than smaller independent films that depend on the abilities of their auteur. Still, the director is responsible for bringing leadership to a set and for bringing the studio’s vision to life.
