Deadpool & Wolverine will include a plethora of Marvel cameos, but director Shawn Levy has proven he can include these cameos without the film feeling overstuffed. While Levy has a long career in Hollywood, his work in successful franchises has flown under the radar. He is responsible for the Night at the Museum franchise and has had a major impact on Netflix’s Stranger Things. Recently, he’s struck up a great working relationship with Ryan Reynolds, with the pair working on Free Guy and Netflix’s The Adam Project together.
Thanks to their flourishing relationship, Levy has been granted the keys to directing Deadpool & Wolverine, still working closely with Reynolds, who is also a writer and producer of the film. Still, this is the biggest spotlight Levy has worked under, and expectations are high for this film. Besides capturing the dynamic between the titular characters, Levy has to give audiences many exciting moments that combine Fox’s Marvel universe with the MCU. Fortunately, the director already showed in a recent movie that he is up to the task.
