'Deadpool & Wolverine' Director Shawn Levy Eyed to Direct Next Avengers

Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy is being eyed to direct the next Avengers movie, which was originally going to be The Kang Dynasty.

The filmmaker is currently in post-production on “Deadpool & Wolverine,” but he’s been given the latest script for “Avengers 5” by Michael Waldron (“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”) and is mulling over the prospect of directing. Plot details are under wraps but the potential involvement of Levy is a sign of confidence in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which is Marvel Studios’ only release this year. Levy has tackled projects of various shapes and sizes throughout his career, from the family-oriented “Night at the Museum” movies to the broad comedy “Date Night” to the drama “This Is Where I Leave You.” He directed the Netflix drama limited series “All the Light We Cannot See,” which was released last year, and in recent years steered Fox’s hit action-comedy “Free Guy” and the Netflix sci-fi film “The Adam Project,” also with Reynolds.
