About Alex Leadbeater

ScreenRant's Content Director & Operations Manager, Alex Leadbeater has been in entertainment publishing for over a decade and been a permanent fixture of SR since 2016. Based in New York, he oversees a global team of writers and editors based in the US, Canada and beyond. You may have also seen/heard him on the Total Geekall podcast, various YouTube channels, BBC Radio and CBC News.

Growing up in the English countryside on a mixture of Star Wars, The Simpsons and Aardman, Alex is a lifelong movie obsessive. He now combines his love of film with a formal education in Mathematics to cover all aspeects of the entertainment sphere.

Industry Focus

Alex has covered an exhaustive range of movies and TV shows - from digging out obscure MCU Easter eggs to diving deep into deeper meanings of the latest Jordan Peele - and has covered a litany of set visits, junkets and film festivals. He once asked Tom Cruise about his supposedly fake-butt in Valkyrie (he swore it was all real).

Favorite Media

As a movie-obsessive, Alex will watch any and all films, with highlights ranging from Psycho and Night of the Hunter to Stand By Me and Titanic. He has a soft spot for 1980s slashers (especially Friday the 13th) and 1990s thrillers, and has seen all of the MCU (although Star Wars is far-far-and-away his favorite franchise).
