Daniel Espinosa

Jorge Daniel Espinosa (born 23 March 1977) is a Swedish film director.

Early life and education Espinosa was born in Stockholm in 1977. His Chilean parents emigrated to Sweden after the 1973 Chilean coup d'état led by Augusto Pinochet. Espinosa spent his early childhood in several African countries, before his parents separated and his mother brought him back to Sweden. He was raised in the Skogås district of the Huddinge Municipality of Stockholm County. Espinosa was in talks about directing the film adaptation of Assassin's Creed but was ultimately replaced by Justin Kurzel.

Safe House in 2012 was Espinoza's debut directing an English-language film. Reviews were mixed, but Safe House was a financial success.

He also directed the critically panned Sony's Spider-Man Universe film Morbius (2022).

His 2024 film Madame Luna was nominated for Best Nordic Film at the Gothenburg Film Festival. The same year, he co-directed the miniseries The Helicopter Heist.
