JONN WICK Director David Leitch Is Confirmed to Helm DEADPOOL 2
Last month it was rumored that John Wick co-director David Leitch was in the running to replace Tim Miller as the director of Deadpool 2. Well, Deadline just confirmed that he has signed on helm the film, which I know fans will be very happy about.
There were a few other directors up for the gig such as Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) and Magnus Martens (Luke Cage), but Leitch, who had 20 years of stunt coordinator and stuntman experience before he made John Wick, beat them out.
I'm excited to see what Leitch does with Deadpool 2! We can definitely expect the action in the sequel to be a lot better and crazier than the first one. I think Leitch is going to be a great fit for the franchise, and I'm really happy that he's going to be taking it on.
We don't have any plot details for the sequel yet, but we know that Cable will be making his big screen debut in the movie, which is going to be awesome! Deadpool 2 is scheduled to be released on March 2, 2018.
