CinemaCon 2017: We interview David Leitch for Atomic Blonde & Deadpool 2

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Director David Leitch has made a hell of a name for himself already with his debut feature JOHN WICK (along with co-director Chad Stahelski) and is poised to do so again with this summer's ATOMIC BLONDE starring Charlize Theron, James McAvoy and Sofia Boutella. We caught up with Leitch at CinemaCon this year at the Focus Features red carpet and talked about how he got involved in the project, why Theron was the right person for the role, the sexual dynamic of Theron and Boutella and finally we chatted about DEADPOOL 2, in particular what he thought about Michael Shannon potentially taking on the role of Cable in the planned superhero sequel. Leitch was generous with his time (as he was being pulled away) and is a great and open guy to chat with. Can't wait to see what he does with ATOMIC BLONDE, DEADPOOL 2 and whatever else comes his way afterwards.
