Exclusive: Deadpool 3 Director's Sizzling Response to Mindblowing Avengers 6 Rumors!

Summary

Shawn Levy remains tight-lipped about rumors of him directing Avengers: Secret Wars, only saying that he read the rumor.

Marvel Studios is potentially following a trend of surprising director choices with Levy, who is renowned for his contributions to Deadpool 3. The inclusion of Levy as the director for both Deadpool 3 and Avengers: Secret Wars could potentially result in a more seamless and interconnected storyline, particularly considering the potential multiverse narrative.

Shawn Levy, the director of Deadpool 3, has finally addressed the rumors surrounding his possible involvement in directing Avengers: Secret Wars. Being a highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Avengers: Secret Wars is set to play a crucial role in Phase 6 of The Multiverse Saga. However, due to the ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, it will be a while before any writers or actors can officially commit to the project.

Nevertheless, despite the delay, speculation continues to circulate regarding who might helm Avengers: Secret Wars for Marvel Studios. One of the recent names to enter the conversation is Shawn Levy, and in a recent interview with ET Canada, he was asked about these reports and his reaction to them. While Levy neither confirmed nor denied the rumors outright, he did offer some insight into his potential involvement with the film.

I read that rumour, and that’s all I’m gonna say.

Shawn Levy Would Follow The MCU's Unexpected Director Trend

If Levy is truly being considered to helm Avengers: Secret Wars, it would bring the Marvel Cinematic Universe's directorial journey full circle. Reflecting on the MCU's timeline, it was quite surprising when Anthony and Joe Russo were chosen to direct Captain America: The Winter Soldier, given their background primarily in comedy, including their work on Community. However, their success with Captain America: The Winter Soldier ultimately paved the way for them to take the reins of both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Marvel Studios may be considering Levy's performance in Deadpool 3 as an opportunity to assess his suitability for directing Avengers: Secret Wars. This could mark a departure from the Russo brothers' era and allow other creative minds, such as Shang-Chi's Destin Daniel Cretton, to helm Marvel's biggest team. While Deadpool 3 is currently on hold, there may be ongoing discussions between Levy and Marvel Studios about his potential involvement in Avengers: Secret Wars. Given the rumored multiverse storyline, it would be logical to have continuity by having Levy direct both films. Ideally, Marvel Studios will provide clarification on Levy's role in Avengers: Secret Wars in the near future.
