We've gone over this before, if it's not quoted from a legit news/trade source, it's just rumor, or wishful thinking. I haven't seen anything from an industry source that says he's directing anything, these projects already have directors.
It says “Producer” not “Director”. In fact, you even included a picture of the director, Robert Eggers.
When I first posted about Alex and The Northman, I even included the comment from the industry article that he would probably be a producer. I posted that already. A producer is not the director. I also included the comment that Robert Eggers would be the director. And that Eggers is acclaimed and very sought after today.
What might Alex be doing if he's helping to produce The Northman?
What does a producer do, exactly?
He shepherds the production from start to finish. In a typical arrangement, the producer develops an idea or script with a writer and secures the necessary rights. He often hires the director, supervises casting, and assembles a crew. Additionally, the producer oversees the budget and then coordinates the postproduction work—everything from editing, to commissioning music, to encouraging the film’s stars to plug the movie on talk shows.
The top post of “producer” is just the tip of the iceberg, as anyone who’s watched the opening credits of a movie knows well. Although Slumdog Millionaire, for example, credits only one producer, it lists two executive producers and two co-executive producers, along with a co-producer, an associate producer, and a line producer...

Directing and producing are totally different.

Is the Hollywood Reporter considered to be a reliable source? Just asking, I would have thought it´s just a gossip magazine, but I´m not really familiar with it. Or maybe it´s a serious gossip magazine?
The Hollywood Reporter is a reliable source, it is an industry source not a gossip magazine. (It said “producer” not “director”.) Gossip magazines are magazines like In Touch, Life & Style, OK, etc.Is the Hollywood Reporter considered to be a reliable source?

Then there are also fan sites and websites which are not reliable industry sources. People have to be careful that “casting” details come from reliable industry sources like Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Collider, The Wrap, etc. and not fansites or other less reliable sources.

Yes, it's a trade magazine. They'll occasionally be wrong, but are certainly more reliable than some fan-casing Instagram page.
From University of Southern California-Los Angeles' library site, it's a list of of reliable entertainment news sources:

It's an oldie from November 16, 2014, possibly Los Angeles since there were paparazzi pics of him taken on November 15, 2014 in LA.
This lady looks familiar. I think she may have met him more than once but so far, I've only found the pic she shared yesterday in the old thread.

You are very welcome.
it’s nice when someone is appreciative of the response and the attempt to help rather than just ignoring the information.
