David Leitch

David Leitch (b. 1975) is an American filmmaker whose work builds from a deep foundation in stunt coordination and physical performance. Beginning with his uncredited co-direction of John Wick, he established a voice rooted in precision choreography and kinetic clarity. Films like Atomic Blonde and Bullet Train favor momentum and spatial awareness, treating action sequences as structural centerpieces rather than spectacle. Leitch's films return consistently to the body as an instrument — foregrounding rhythm, impact, and movement within increasingly playful genre frameworks.
