Mark Steven Johnson, (born October 30, 1964 in Hastings, Minnesota) is a film director and writer. He has directed and co-written the two comic book based films Daredevil and the soon to be released Ghost Rider. His early writing credits are for the film Grumpy Old Men and its sequel Grumpier Old Men. He is often given credit for writing the screen play for the Marvel film Elektra, but he only produced an earlier draft not used for the finished film.

In an interesting twist, he appeared in the Kevin Smith film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back pretending to direct a movie based on the comic book character Daredevil only to actually get the directing role for the official movie a few years later.

He is currently writing the pilot for the TV adaptation of Preacher for HBO, on which he will also be an executive producer. [1]
