Life and career
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 acclaimed Marvel One-Shot All Hail the King starring Ben Kingsley and Scoot McNairy.
Early career
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.
No Heroics
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.
Film career
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.
Staying in the Marvel family, it was then announced on 31 March 2011, that he would co-write Iron Man 3 with director Shane Black. The Hollywood Reporter released in July 2011 that Pearce would also pen Paramount's adaption of the DC Comics title The Mighty.
After finishing Iron Man 3, Pearce completed an uncredited rewrite on Guillermo del Toro's sci-fi action thriller Pacific Rim, before being commissioned to write the script for a third film in the Sherlock Holmes film series starring Robert Downey, Jr. in October 2011.
In October 2012, Pearce was tapped to polish the script for Legendary Pictures' Godzilla reboot.
Pearce received story by credit for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation after his original script was rewritten by director Christopher McQuarrie.
Other works
In March 2012, Pearce directed the music video for the song "Rearrange" by Miles Kane. By August 2017, it had received over 3.7 million YouTube views.
