The Big Picture The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up for its fifth Avengers film, and it looks like they might have found their director. According to recent reports, Marvel has approached Shawn Levy, currently finishing up Deadpool & Wolverine, to helm the next ensemble superhero flick. The news comes after Destin Daniel Cretton, originally slated to direct, dropped out late last year, leaving the coveted position up for grabs.
While Levy's involvement is not yet confirmed, the discussions mark a significant development. Marvel initially approached Levy back in March, but he declined due to scheduling conflicts. His commitments to Deadpool & Wolverineand the final season of Stranger Things, where he will direct two episodes and fulfill his executive producer duties, seemed insurmountable at the time.
With the original Avengers, played by Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., and Scarlett Johansson, no longer in the franchise, the upcoming film is set to feature a more balanced ensemble. This approach aims to give characters “equal footing,” making it a true team effort rather than focusing on a few lead heroes.
