Andy Muschietti

Andy Muschietti (also credited as Andrés Muschietti) is an Argentine director and screenwriter born on August 26, 1973, in Vicente López, Buenos Aires. Known for blending character-driven drama with large-scale genre filmmaking, he rose from international horror success to major studio blockbusters.

His breakout arrived with Mama (2013), which put his atmospheric, suspense-forward style on the global map. Muschietti then became closely associated with Stephen King adaptations by directing It (2017) and its follow-up It Chapter Two (2019), helping turn the franchise into one of modern horror’s defining theatrical events.

In 2023, he stepped into the superhero arena with DC’s The Flash, expanding his reputation for balancing spectacle with emotional stakes. Alongside his directing work, Muschietti has appeared in various on-screen and documentary roles—ranging from self appearances tied to The Flash to small cameos such as a pharmacy customer in It Chapter Two—underscoring his hands-on presence across productions.
