10 Directors And The Superhero Films They Should Make

4. David Leitch - Punisher

Because of the much darker nature of the Punisher Netflix show, it is unlikely that the character will ever receive his own movie - set in the MCU or not. One can dream.

However, if this dream becomes a reality then David Leitch should direct the film.

Leitch's previous work on the first John Wick and Atomic Blonde proves that he would suit the action/thriller tone perfectly and shows he would also be able to convey a nail-biting story without sacrificing the quality of the inevitable fight scenes and shootouts.

A lack of big budget experience wouldn't be an issue either, Leitch having directed Deadpool 2 and Hobbs & Shaw too.

Really though, his having co-directed the first John Wick should be enough evidence as to why he'd make a great Punisher movie in and of itself.
