Kevin Feige shares his views on the ongoing speculation about Shawn Levy directing the next Avengers film

Last week, EW had a conversation with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige regarding the speculation that Shawn Levy could direct the upcoming Avengers project. However, Feige evasively responded, “There have been rumors last week, there are rumors now, and there will be rumors in the future.”

I’ve had the privilege of working with some truly exceptional directors in my career, but few compare to the brilliance and creativity of Tim Miller. Our collaboration on Deadpool and Wolverine was nothing short of incredible. It brought back fond memories of our first film together, where his expertise as a director and storyteller left an indelible mark on me. With every project, he manages to push boundaries and deliver something truly unique and captivating. His ability to bring stories to life on the silver screen is nothing short of remarkable.

As a lifestyle expert, I can tell you from experience that creating a large-scale movie is no easy feat. In fact, I’ve been there myself, and let me tell you, it’s a challenging process. When we finally wrapped up production, everyone on set was filled with a sense of sadness. It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to a project that has consumed so much time, energy, and passion.

Shawn Levy has an impressive directorial portfolio, including movies like “Night at the Museum,” “Real Steel,” “The Internship,” and “Free Guy,” to name a few.
