David Leitch (born November 16, 1975)[1] is an American filmmaker, actor, stunt performer, and stunt coordinator who made his directorial debut on the 2014 action film John Wick with Chad Stahelski, though only Stahelski was credited.[3] Leitch then directed the 2017 thriller film Atomic Blonde, starring Charlize Theron, and 2018’s Deadpool 2, the sequel to the 2016 film. In 2019, he directed Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, a spin-off from The Fast and the Furious franchise.
Career
Leitch was a stunt double for Brad Pitt five times and two times for Jean-Claude Van Damme.[citation needed] Leitch and his crew won two awards for The Bourne Ultimatum at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.[4] He also shared a 2008 Taurus World Stunt Award with fellow stunt-person Kai Martin for high work.[5]
He wrote and starred in Confessions of an Action Star, a parody of action films and the action film industry released in 2009.[6][7]
Leitch and Chad Stahelski opened an action design production company called 87Eleven in 1997. In 2009, Stahelski and Leitch were second-unit directors and stunt co-ordinators on Ninja Assassin. The two co-directed the 2014 film John Wick,[8] although Leitch himself was not credited as co-director. Leitch executive produced the two John Wick sequels, which Stahelski solo directed.
He eventually moved on to direct films such as Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2 with his wife and creative partner, Kelly McCormick serving as a producer. In 2019, he directed The Fast and the Furious spin-off, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.
