With ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Set To Save Summer, Shawn Levy Tops List To Direct Marvel’s Next ‘Avengers’ Movie? – The Dish


Shawn Levy is having early conversations to potentially direct Marvel's next Avengers movie.

EXCLUSIVE: As Deadpool & Wolverine tracks huge ahead of its July 26 release and looms as a summer box office savior, we can reveal that director Shawn Levy is the top choice and is having early conversations to direct another Marvel Studios pic — one that potentially could be the next Avengers movie. We can’t say for sure that Levy will take the job; he expects to be heavily involved as a director and executive producer of the final season of Netflix’s signature series Stranger Things, and there is also a Star Wars film in his future. Sources close to both the project say more than 60 MCU characters could reprise their roles, including everyone from Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth and Benedict Cumberbatch to Tom Hiddleston, Simu Liu and Karen Gillian.
