Who Is Directing ‘Criminal’?
Ryan FleckandAnna Boden, the directors behind the firstCaptain Marvelmovie, have been confirmed to helm the first four episodes ofCriminal. Their experience with high-budget productions involving big action sequences make them the perfect candidates to direct the introduction of the Prime Video adaptation to audiences. After helming Carol Danver’s (Brie Larson) origin story, the duo worked onFreaky Tales, a drama that depicted four interconnected stories based on real events that took place in 1987. Fleck and Boden are ready to bring their own vision of Leo and Jenny’s story to life.
