Biography
Drew Pearce scripted and directed some of the 2010s–2020s' biggest action franchises, anchoring them with sharp dialogue and visual precision. Born August 24, 1975, he is a British screenwriter, director, and producer. Early in his career, Pearce created the British comedy series No Heroics before moving into feature work. He wrote Iron Man 3 (2013), Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015), and Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019), establishing himself as a go-to voice for franchise storytelling. His directorial breakthrough came with Hotel Artemis (2018), a neo-noir thriller set in a members-only criminal hospital, starring Jodie Foster; the film showcased his ability to balance world-building with intimate character work. Pearce also wrote and directed the Marvel One-Shot All Hail the King, a Ben Kingsley vehicle that directly seeded the 2021 feature Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Beyond cinema, he has directed music videos for Vampire Weekend ("Gen-X Cops"), Miles Kane ("Rearrange"), and Father John Misty ("The Night Josh Tillman Came to Our Apt."). In 2019, Pearce founded the production company Point of No Return, which is developing projects including a Dave Bautista thriller called Cooler and the sci-fi legal drama Dolly. As a screenwriter and director, Pearce moves fluidly between studio machinery and auteur-driven storytelling, a tension that defines contemporary blockbuster cinema. A Virgo, Pearce's methodical, detail-oriented sensibility aligns with the sign's reputation for craft and perfectionism.
