James
Wan

Long one of Hollywood’s top horror helmers (“Saw,” “Insidious,” “The Conjuring”), the Malaysian-born Aussie made a splash in the DC Comics universe last year as director of “Aquaman,” which became his second film to surpass the $1 billion mark, following the 2015 actioner “Furious 7.” That doesn’t mean he’s given up on the scares. He released a pair of 2019 horror hits — “The Curse of La Llorona” and “Annabelle Comes Home” — and shot “The Conjuring 3” over the summer. In recent years, he served as executive producer of CBS’ “MacGyver” reboot and the recently axed DC effort “Swamp Thing.” On tap are commitments to exec produce the Netflix supernatural series “The Magic Order,” produce a “Mortal Kombat” sequel and direct “Aquaman 2.”
