Louis Leterrier

Louis Leterrier is a director whose name I associate with big, kinetic studio spectacle, and his run backs that up. From the first two Transporter films through The Incredible Hulk, Clash of the Titans, and the slick misdirection of Now You See Me, he's shown he can handle scale. Landing the Fast and Furious franchise with Fast X, and reportedly Fast Forever, puts him at the very top of the action-blockbuster food chain. He's French, trained at NYU's Tisch, and earned a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, which I find a nice counterweight to the popcorn reputation. The tagline calling him American is simply incorrect.
