Taylor, an accomplished TV director, is best known for his work on HBO's "Game of Thrones," as well as credits on small screen hits including "Boardwalk Empire," "Mad Men" and "Nurse Jackie."

Jenkins, director of 2003's crime drama "Monster," was originally slated to direct the film, but was removed from the project earlier this month following rumored creative differences with Marvel.
