Peyton Reed

What I value in Peyton Reed is his range. A Raleigh native and University of North Carolina graduate, he made his name on nimble comedies like Bring It On, Down with Love and Yes Man, then was entrusted with a corner of the Marvel universe through the Ant-Man trilogy. Directors who can swing between genres without losing their own warmth earn my trust, and Reed manages exactly that, smuggling an easy, human humor even into big superhero spectacle. To me that affable tone is his signature. I enjoy following craftsmen who simply keep working, and I plan to keep watching his.
