‘Deadpool 2’ Director on Protecting the Film’s Biggest Secrets
THR
David Leitch is used to working on high-profile properties, but being at the helm of Deadpool 2 was a whole new level.
His previous directorial efforts John Wick (2014) and Atomic Blonde (2017) have dedicated fanbases and were critical successes. But after 2016's Deadpool became a phenomenon, the team knew all eyes would be on the sequel, and that fans and the press would be looking for plot leaks and spoilers. For Leitch, it was reminiscent of the attention he saw on the production of The Matrix films, which he worked on in the stunts department.
