Drew Pearce (born 24 August 1975) is a British film writer, director and producer. He is best known for co-writing Iron Man 3, and writing the story to Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.
Drew is best known as creator of No Heroics, the cult hit British TV comedy about off-duty superheroes for ITV2, and for writing the Marvel film Iron Man 3, starring Robert Downey, Jr. He also wrote and directed the acclaimedMarvel One-Shot All Hail The King starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Scoot McNairy.
Between 2000 and 2004, Pearce was the lead singer and guitarist in the London alt-country band Woodchuck, among various other music projects.
He also produced a number of British television shows before transitioning into writing and directing. His previous work as a writer, producer or director includes The Musical Storytellers Ginger and Black for E4 and High Spirits with Shirley Ghostman for BBC Three.
In 2007, Pearce created No Heroics, a sitcom about unsuccessful British superheroes, following their R-rated off-duty exploits and their lives in hero-only pub The Fortress. The full series was shot in 2008, and released in October of that year. The show was nominated for a British Comedy Award, which led Pearce to shoot a U.S. pilot in the spring of 2009, for the ABC Network. The network declined to pick the pilot up to full series.
In 2010, Pearce transitioned into Hollywood when Marvel hired him to adapt Runaways for the big screen based on the comic book by Brian K.Vaughan and Adrian Alphona. The film remains in development.
