Will Shawn Levy Direct 'Avengers 5'? 'Deadpool and Wolverine' Release & More

TapTechNews June 5th news, the movie Deadpool and Wolverine will be released in North America in July. According to Deadline report, the director of this movie, Shawn Levy, is expected to continue to cooperate with Marvel and direct the blockbuster Avengers 5.

It is reported that Levy is the 'first choice' for Marvel's next Avengers movie, and he has received the latest version of the script from Michael Waldron (rumored as the screenwriter of Avengers 5).

However, sources warned that Levy has not yet replied to Marvel whether to accept this job, and Marvel will also continue to meet with other film producers.

According to another report from THR, Marvel quietly expressed its intention to cooperate with Levy in mid-March, but the latter refused at that time because he was working as an executive producer and director in the fifth season of Stranger Things on Netflix, and the work would last until next year. With the delay of Avengers 5, Levy has an available slot to accept the job again.

According to TapTechNews's previous reporting, Avengers 5: The Kang Dynasty is currently aiming for a release on May 1, 2026, which means the release date is still far away.

The movie Deadpool and Wolverine will be released in North America on July 26th. Deadpool debuts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman also returns. The specific word-of-mouth and box office performance after the movie's release are worth paying attention to.
