The Aquaman director who is best known for The Conjuring supernatural horror films was placed at No. 80, marking his debut on the list.

The list also featured quick-fire questions with Wan where he was asked to name the best or worst thing about the current merger mania that is sweeping across Hollywood. “The fun thing is seeing different worlds and characters cross into each other’s stories and the possibilities of IPs...
