My Take
Peter Craig is a screenwriter whose range genuinely impresses me. A novelist by origin, he went on to write Ben Affleck's taut heist drama The Town, the brooding gravity of The Batman, and the crowd-pleasing juggernaut Top Gun: Maverick, the last earning an Oscar nomination. Crime, superhero, blockbuster spectacle, he moves between genres with apparent ease, a sign of real structural craft honed at Iowa's famed writing program. He's not a face on the poster, but writers like him are the lifeline of cinema. Craig is one of those behind-the-scenes talents I quietly trust.
