After speculation that Shawn Levy would direct Avengers: Secret Wars, the director may return to direct one episode in Stranger Things 5.

Amidst &#8216;Avengers: Secret Wars&#8217; Rumors, Director Shawn Levy Could Return for a Final Run On One ‘Stranger Things’ Episode

Shawn Levy has been in the spotlight a lot more than usual these days. The
director who recently discussed his new Netflix series, All The Light You Cannot
See at the TIFF, has been the talk of the town since the speculation began that
he could be directing the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars film. While it seems
like the BAFTA-nominated director has a lot on his plate with his plans for Free
Guy 2, Deadpool 3, and even the final season of Stranger Things, he still has
more that he plans on doing.

Recently, the director/producer of the Emmy-winning franchise revealed that he
planned to keep the tradition of directing at least one episode alive and hinted
at a comeback for the final season.


SHAWN LEVY RETURNS TO STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5

According to a post by a fan page on Twitter, now X, it was recently revealed
that the executive producer of Stranger Things, Shawn Levy, would be directing a
single episode for the series’ last season. In the past, Levy has given fans
some of the best episodes of the series, the most recent being, season 4’s Dear
Billy. And, no surprises, the director has managed to captivate fans with every
episode he directed.

Just like the Deadpool 3 update
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-ryan-reynolds-deadpool-3-was-halfway-done-before-sag-aftra-strike-halt-according-to-films-director-shawn-levy/],
the revelation came from Shawn Levy’s interview with Collider, where he revealed
that he “directs episodes every year” and that he wanted this time to be no
different. He went on to say that it was his way of showing his commitment and
his love for the show. And even went on to say that he would “go through hoops
to figure out calendars to direct at least one episode.”

While the director’s revelation may have created more excitement around the new
season, it was not his only revelation about what he was and was not working on.


SHAWN LEVY ADDRESSES AVENGERS: SECRET WARS RUMORS

Following the confirmation and release update for Avengers: Secret Wars, the
Marvel fandom went into a spiral. With a release in 2027 and no director in
sight yet, the speculations began swirling and before anyone knew it, they
landed on Shawn Levy, the director who has been taking over the Marvel world in
recent years. With his blockbuster hits, Deadpool 1 & 2, it is no surprise that
fans got excited at the idea of Levy taking the reins.

Sadly, there has been no confirmation from either Marvel or the prestigious
director. In an interview with E! Canada, he addressed speculations by saying
that he “read that rumor” and nothing else. While the director has stayed
tight-lipped, it failed to stop any further speculation.

Shawn Levy fans may not be getting a Marvel film anytime soon, apart from
Deadpool 3. But the director plans to keep the Stranger Things tradition alive.
That should give fans something to look forward to in the last season of the
series.
