The Fast And The Furious Spinoff May Have Found Its Director

After years of working in Hollywood as a stuntman, stunt coordinator, second unit director and more, David Leitch made is directorial debut in 2014 with John Wick, and since then has helmed Atomic Blonde and the upcoming Deadpool 2. With Wade Wilson's next theatrical adventure only a few months away, it looks as though Leitch might jump to the Fast and the Furious universe next, because THR has heard that he is currently the frontrunner to direct the Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham-led spinoff. Right now Leitch is reportedly only in early talks for the job, but if everything works out as planned, Leitch will be able to lend his own considerable talents to one of the world's most popular action franchises, which is right in his wheelhouse. Chris Morgan, who has written every Fast and the Furious movie since 2006's Tokyo Drift, also penned the spinoff.
