The word is that Ryan Reynolds’ agency, WME, has been pushing their star to get one of their other clients hired for the job and David Leitch is the one they’re pushing.
If this report is to be believed, Fox is on board with the call.
While it would appear that no official decision has been made, and several other directors are on the list of potential candidates for the job, Mashable is calling David Leitch the “strong frontrunner” to take over as director following Tim Miller’s departure.
