STAR WARS: Shawn Levy In Talks To Direct Mystery Movie Once He's Finished DEADPOOL 3 And STRANGER THINGS

Stranger Things and Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy has been tapped to helm a future Star Wars movie, adding another project to an increasingly busy slate at Lucasfilm. Find more details after the jump...

Deadline reveals that Free Guy director Shawn Levy is in talks to develop and direct a new Star Wars movie for Lucasfilm. The trade has no details on the plot or who will write the screenplay, but have learned that the filmmaker will make this project a priority once he's finished directing Deadpool 3 for Marvel Studios. 

Levy also needs to put the finishing touches to the final season of Stranger Things, and is clearly a director on the rise at Disney after Free Guy and the upcoming Deadpool threequel. 

​​​​​​​Lucasfilm has a lot of big screen projects set in this Galaxy Far, Far Away in the works, including movies from Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi and writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and Loki scribe Michael Waldron. We also recently learned that Damon Lindelof has penned a movie that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will direct.

Oh, and there's also Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron (though that may have fallen apart due to creative differences). 

We haven't had a Star Wars movie since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, and while the future looks bright, it's hard to know for sure what Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy is up to. 

On the one hand, she may be teeing up a whole slate of Star Wars movies...on the other, it's possible the executive is just throwing everything she can at the wall to see what sticks.

The franchise continues to find success on TV, though, with the first season of Andor set to wrap up in a few weeks. Next year will see the release of The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and Skeleton Crew, while we also have The Acolyte on the horizon. Disney+ has proven itself a good home for these characters, but it's been a bumpy ride for Star Wars in theaters since Disney took over.

As always, stay tuned for updates as we have them.
