Matt Reeves (born April 27, 1966) is an American filmmaker who first gained recognition for the WB drama series Felicity (1998–2002), which he co-created with J. J. Abrams.

Reeves gained further success and international recognition for his direction of the science fiction monster film Cloverfield (2008), which Abrams produced.

[14] That October, Reeves signed on to direct a film based on the classic television series The Twilight Zone,[15] but he left the project in September 2012.

[17] The film became a commercial and critical success and resulted in Reeves signing a three-year production deal with 20th Century Fox.

He took over the position from Ben Affleck, who initially planned to stay involved as producer and star before dropping out completely, with Reeves opting to retool the film to separate it completely from the DCEU and focus on a younger incarnation of the character, allowing him the opportunity to create a more personal story in line with his own vision and understanding of the character.
