Shawn Levy to Direct New ‘Star Wars’ Movie
The filmmaker has a full plate already, with Deadpool 3 up next.

Shawn Levy, the prolific director and producer behind Free Guy and Stranger Things, is headed to the Star Wars galaxy. The filmmaker is developing a feature for Lucasfilm, possibly to direct.
It is unclear when this project could happen.
Levy is on board to direct the upcoming third Deadpool movie for Marvel Studios. That feature, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has a release date of Nov. 8, 2024. As a producer, he and his 21 Laps also have the final episodes of Stranger Things coming up, with the fifth season in the writing stage at this point and without a set release date.
In March, Levy unveiled The Adam Project, a time travel family film in which its protagonist, played by Reynolds, welded a weapon that served the same purpose as a lightsaber.
“If there was any doubt about my fanhood of Star Wars and all things a galaxy far, far away, I’ve eliminated that doubt,” Levy said.
