As a seasoned gamer and long-time fan of both Marvel and Star Wars universes, I can hardly contain my excitement over Shawn Levy’s upcoming foray into the Star Wars universe following his work on Deadpool & Wolverine. The director’s experience in handling large-budget productions and his knack for keeping secrets makes him an intriguing addition to the Star Wars family.


Shawn Levy, the film director, is moving on from working on the expensive MCU production featuring Deadpool and Wolverine, to begin shaping a new Star Wars film, marking his transition to another big-budget franchise.

The new Star Wars film was unveiled in 2022 as part of a lineup of upcoming movies. There had been no news on the project since then. But recently, an intriguing development has given it renewed energy. Ryan Reynolds, who is currently promoting Deadpool and Wolverine, is now able to discuss the new Star Wars production publicly.

Shawn Levy talked to On Demand Entertainment about his new, as-yet-unnamed Star Wars film. It was recently revealed that Levy is teaming up once again with his longtime writing partner, Jonathan Tropper (of “The Adam Project” fame), for this upcoming production.

Although Levy has kept quiet about the numerous surprises in Deadpool & Wolverine due to Marvel’s strict spoiler rules, he is now delighted to reveal his Star Wars-related news openly. Moreover, Levy hinted that him and his team have come up with an idea for their movie, which Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni, the heads of Lucasfilm, are eagerly looking forward to presenting to the audience. Levy expressed:

I’m thrilled that I no longer need to keep that secret between us. Jonathon Tropper is penning my Star Wars movie, with whom I collaborated on “The Adam Project”. Our concept, shared by Kathy Kennedy and Dave Filoni, is genuinely exhilarating for both of us. Fingers crossed that the development process takes off.

In the course of their discussion, Levy was questioned about sharing any information regarding his upcoming “Star Wars” film. But it appears that the years of media preparation for his roles in “Stranger Things,” “the Adam project,” and now “Deadpool & Wolverine” have proven beneficial. Levy displayed an uncanny ability to keep quiet, just like the Deadpool portrayed in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” He even joked that with his extensive experience, he was too skilled at holding back secrets.

In simple terms, “I’ve become very good at keeping secrets after watching Stranger Things and Marvel shows, so I unfortunately cannot reveal anything.”

Deadpool & Wolverine, which is currently Marvel Studios’ biggest summer hit, has also been their most clandestine production yet. So far, only the opening 35 minutes have been shown to select journalists and privileged fans at international fan events. The buzz on social media following these screenings hinted at an explosive mix of action, violence, profanity, and fan-pleasing moments.

To maintain the intrigue surrounding the upcoming project ” Deadpool & Wolverine,” the entire team, including Shawn Levy, has been very secretive about potential spoilers. In previous interviews, Levy has skillfully hinted at exciting revelations without revealing specifics. For instance, he stated:

Based on my own experiences and observations, I believe there will be instances during the performance that will resonate deeply with the audience and leave them elated. However, I must warn you, there are moments that will take their reaction to unprecedented levels – moments that will make them truly lose it! These parts have left audiences in awe and excitement in my past experiences, magnified to an extent that’s hard to put into words.

Shawn Levy’s “Star Wars” film is yet to have a confirmed premiere in cinemas. In contrast, “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” are scheduled for release on July 25, 2024.
