I don't see any directorial potential from them. They're talented with effects work and directing music videos and commercials, but both of their attempts to direct an actual film were terrible, bad writing or not. It's clear they're not suited to direct blockbuster films, which is why they have stayed away from them since Skyline. Legendary shouldn't have any interest in them, since they already have a bad history in the industry and they know there will be huge backlash if they hire them, possibly scaring away potential actors. Legendary will probably want to go with someone fresh and new, who has shown some kind of strong potential as a director, much like how Gareth Edwards was after Monsters.
