According to a report by Mashable, John Wick director David Leitch is frontrunner to direct the sequel.
Earlier this month, Deadpool fans were left shocked after director Tim Miller announced his departure from the film’s sequel.
Leitch has also worked on other Marvel films, acting as second-unit director on Captain Marvel: Civil War, and doing stunt work in the 2003 film Daredevil.
After the initial news broke, fans started a petition asking Quentin Tarantino to direct the sequel instead of Miller.
