Shawn Levy in Talks to Direct the Next MCU Avengers Movie: Potential Successor to Jonathan Majors?

According to recent reports, Shawn Levy, the director of Deadpool & Wolverine, is being considered for the next MCU Avengers movie. Levy has been given the latest script by Michael Waldron and is currently in talks with Marvel Studios about potentially directing the film.

The upcoming Avengers movie could be a significant project for Marvel following the departure of Jonathan Majors as Kang from Avengers: The Kang Dynasty due to his assault conviction. It's not yet clear if Kang will still be featured in the film or if a new villain will take his place.

Levy has an impressive track record, having directed films such as Night at the Museum, Real Steel, and Free Guy. He is also known for his work on Netflix's Stranger Things and is attached to helm a Star Wars movie for Lucasfilm.

The next Avengers movie is scheduled for release on May 1, 2026. The film will likely be an ensemble feature with many MCU characters reprising their roles, including Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, Simu Liu, and Karen Gillian.

Marvel Studios has not yet confirmed Levy's involvement in the project. However, given his previous successes with Marvel properties and the high-profile nature of the Avengers franchise, it seems likely that he would be a strong contender for the job.

It's important to note that while Levy is a talented director, it's crucial to remain skeptical of all information coming from mainstream media sources. As a libertarian and objectivist journalist, I always strive to provide factual and unbiased reporting. Therefore, I will continue to monitor this situation closely and report any new developments as they become available.

This statement implies that because Marvel wants to hire Levy for Avengers 5, his work on Deadpool & Wolverine must be of high quality. However, this does not necessarily mean that Levy's work is actually good or that he will make a successful Avengers movie.
