Tim Miller - the man who deserves a substantial portion of the credit for the high quality of the first film - will, unfortunately, not be returning to helm the sequel.

Apparently, Hollywood's favourite go-to excuse "creative differences" was to blame for his departure, with Miller and Ryan Reynolds reportedly clashing over which actor should land the role of Cable.

However, studio Fox quickly began hunting for his replacement, and hired David Leitch (of John Wick fame) to direct the sequel.

If you're interested in checking out how Leitch fares behind the camera and have already seen John Wick, you can catch Atomic Blonde in cinemas later this year.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
