“Free Guy” and “Real Steel” director Shawn Levy is rumored to be directing the next in the “Deadpool” series.
He skirted around the question in an interview with Inverse but said enough to suggest he’s at least had talks with Disney about it.
“I’m going to mostly skirt that question, which might be an answer,” he said. “I’ll answer the last part of it, which is: I’m a fan. I’m a fan of Deadpool, like a massive fan. And I’m a fan of the Marvel Universe and the way in which increasingly, individual filmmakers of real note can make and express with their own voice and vision through that franchise behemoth, whether it’s what Taika did with Ragnarok, what Eternals is going to be, what James Gunn did with Guardians.”
“These are real films that also happen to be Marvel movies,” Levy continued. “So, for the right title – because I only raised my hand on stuff where I know what to do with that, and there’s a few where I feel I know what to do with that. So we’ll see.”
Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin are onboard the film as scribes.
