David Leitch may only have four feature films under his belt as a director, but the 49 year-old has already established himself as one of the action genre’s premiere talents behind the camera. John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2 and Hobbs & Shaw are four very different types of action movie, but Leitch has proved to be just as comfortable handling gritty and intimate hand-to-hand combat as he is at orchestrating massive superhero set-pieces.
During the press rounds for Hobbs & Shaw, Leitch revealed that not only was he a part of the first Blade movie back in 1998, but he’d also welcome the opportunity to direct the upcoming Marvel Studios reboot starring two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali.
“I love Blade. And it’s actually one of the first stunt jobs that I was in, the original Wesley Snipes one. I was a stunt performer in that movie. I was in the blood club.
