DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Mark Steven Johnson USA

Blends mainstream action spectacle with heartfelt character moments and comedic sensibility.

 Zack Snyder United States

His films like *Watchmen* and *300* meticulously translate comic book visual language and panel composition directly onto screen, exploring the philosophical depths of superhero narratives.

 Denis Villeneuve Canada

He approaches *Dune* with the same respectful, expansive world-building sensibility required for complex comic adaptations, treating source material as a foundation for cinematic art.
