Shawn Levy Is in Talks to Direct a STAR WARS Movie After DEADPOOL 3
Shawn Levy (Stranger Things, Free Guy) is in talks with Lucasfilm to develop and direct a Star Wars film project. It’s being reported that Levy will jump in and start developing the project after he’s done directing Deadpool 3 for Marvel Studios, which brings together Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
As you might imagine, there are no details to share regarding Levy’s Star Wars project, but I’m curious to learn more about what kind of story he’s looking to tell in the galaxy far, far, away. He’s already played around with the lightsaber element from Star Wars in both The Adam Project and a scene in Free Guy.
Levy is currently in post-production on the Netflix limited series All The Light You Cannot See, in which he directed all four episodes. He will also direct at least two of the episodes of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. Star Wars will be his third big film at Disney.
Some of the other Star Wars projects that are in various stages of development are being developed by Taika Waititi, Damon Lindeloff and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Rian Johnson, Kevin Feige, and maybe Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron will eventually happen.
Who really knows what’s going on at Lucasfilm regarding their Star Wars films? They can’t seem to get it together over there. At least they are pumping our some good shows for Disney+!
