Amounting to great things and inspiring many to join the industry, trying to calculate the impact that the filmmaker has had would be impossible.
While he has been a part of many respected projects throughout his career and is working on more, he cannot seem to outrun his past with DC. While Rebel Moon was quite a disappointment for fans, a sequel is expected to show up on Netflix eventually.
