Marvel Studios is reportedly interested in Shawn Levy directing more MCU projects after being impressed with Marvel’s ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ as confirmed by insider DanielRPK on Patreon.
Recent Marvel movies, beginning with ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania‘, didn’t bring many people to theaters. Some think this means the end of Marvel films, especially after ‘Avengers: Endgame‘. Now, everyone is hoping ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ can save Marvel.
Other Marvel Project Updates:
Marvel and Sony are searching for a new director for Tom Holland‘s ‘Spider-Man 4‘. Sony initially wanted Jon Watts back, but that plan has changed. According to reports, ‘Spider-Man 4’ is being characterized as a “street-level civil war,” and there are hints that Kate Bishop, Echo, and Jessica Jones may make appearances in the film. Also, ‘Spider-Man 4’ may feature appearances by Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man. Also, it has been confirmed that Ant-Man will have a “sizeable role” in the movie. The release date for ‘Spider-Man 4’ has not been announced yet.

‘Shang-Chi 2‘ is set to begin filming in 2025. Director Destin Daniel Cretton will be back, both writing and directing. The movie will include time travel and feature Iron Fist, who will also show up in the ‘Eyes Of Wakanda’ series. We’ll see new dragons and learn more about their history. The origin of the ten rings will stick closely to the comics and link to the Makluans, the same species as Fin Fang Foom.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is directed by Levy. In the film, Ryan Reynolds will reprise his role as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, alongside Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Karan Soni as Dopinder, Morena Baccarin as Vanessa Carlysle, Stefan Kapičić as Piotr Rasputin/Colossus, Rob Delaney as Peter, Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and new additions Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen. The script is penned by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, Reynolds, and Levy.
According to the film’s plot: In Deadpool 3, Wade Wilson/Deadpool is arrested for time crimes involving Cable’s device in Deadpool 2. The TVA returns Cable to his original time and confiscates his time travel technology. Deadpool gets leniency and helps the TVA on a mission. Wanda’s spirit inhabits another Wanda’s body, leading to a new world where Magneto rules and mutants are the majority. Logan hijacks the TVA device to change history and ends up in different Fox worlds. Deadpool enlists Fox’s (X-men) heroes in a fight against Magneto, resulting in chaos and casualties. Wanda is depowered and banished by the TVA, and Deadpool and others are sent to the main MCU timeline. Logan searches for mutants while Deadpool finds Blind Al in his bed.
Recently, the first trailer for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ was released, setting a record for the most-viewed trailer of all time with 365 million views in 24 hours. Also, it has been confirmed that a new official trailer for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ will be released next month.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ hits theaters on July 26, 2024, in IMAX, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, Cinemark XD, and premium screens worldwide.
