Deadpool 2: 10 Directors Who Could Replace Tim Miller
10. John Woo
John Woo's name and brand of direction is synonymous with some Hong Kong classics (Hard Boiled and The Killer) as well as some bonkers but kind of brilliant Hollywood hits (Broken Arrow, Face/Off and Mission Impossible 2). Given he has slipped off the radar of late it's easy to forgot ust how influential a director he is.
But savvy cinema fans out there will know that he is very much still in the game, albeit working back in the East. Take his excellent Red Cliff double bill, which shows the master working with large scale period battles - and the CGI trappings that come with these - while still retaining his touch at a close combat dust up.
A Deadpool movie would benefit from this man's experience and, given Deadpool's love of breaking the fourth wall and generally taking the piss, who wouldn't want to see this iconic superhero be given the chance to dive in slow motion through a flock of doves for a laugh? Don't rule out the Woo.
