Producer and ‘Deadpool 3’ Director Shawn Levy Teases a “cinematic storytelling” for Netflix’s &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Season 5

Shawn Levy has become quite the talk of the town of late. The director-producer
is helming two of the biggest and most anticipated projects of recent times –
Deadpool 3 and Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/].
While the expectations and star-studded cast for Ryan Reynolds
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/] and Hugh Jackman’s outing have
blown through the roof, the Netflix project is on the hot seat as well.
Additionally, Levy would like to leave his mark on both as one is Marvel’s first
R-rated project while the other is the last season of the Netflix series.

The director has now teased an epic conclusion to the show that he has overseen
since its inception in 2016.


STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5 WILL BE “AS BIG AS ANY OF THE BIGGEST MOVIES”

Show producer Shawn Levy has brought out big guns as he looks to wrap up his
collaboration with the Duffer Brothers on a high. Levy has always remained focal
on the show, from pitching it to Netflix to producing and directing it. As
Season 4 of the show drew to a close, fans are eagerly awaiting the final
chapter of the Millie Bobby Brown
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/] starrer. In an interview
with Total Films magazine via Games Radar, Levy
[https://www.gamesradar.com/stranger-things-final-season-blockbuster-shawn-levy-exclusive/]
broke the news on the expectations for the fifth and final season of the show.
“It’s major, major, cinematic storytelling,” claimed the producer.

The Free Guy director spoke of the massive scale of the upcoming showdown. He
teased that Season 5 will be much bigger and more expansive than its predecessor
in terms of story and depth. Levy made it clear that the final season of the
show is slated to be “as big as any of the biggest movies.” The comments of the
director have amped up the fanbase. Moreover, Season 5 will mark the final
showdown between Eleven and Vecna and seal the fates of the current characters.

The anticipation for both of Levy’s projects is limitless. However, fans also
have to pay heed to the fact that there is an unprecedented obstacle lying in
their way.


SAG-AFTRA STRIKE THREATENS TO DERAIL THE COURSE OF SHAWN LEVY’S HOTLY AWAITED
PROJECTS

It is no secret that the WGA and SAG-AFTRA twin strikes have jolted the
Hollywood studios. Many big-budget outings are facing delays and massive run-ups
to their course of schedule. Unfortunately, Shawn Levy’s Deadpool 3 and Stranger
Things Season 5 also find their names among them. While the Marvel juggernaut
keeps on expanding its star cast for the Ryan Reynolds movie, the delays are a
massive concern. While the movie has already halted its production mid-way
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-ryan-reynolds-deadpool-3-was-halfway-done-before-sag-aftra-strike-halt-according-to-films-director-shawn-levy/],
it could now get pushed back even further.

At the Upside Down, things are no different either. Season 5 of Stranger Things
is officially on a halt. Additionally, the delays may force the creators to make
last-minute plot and script changes, which may hamper the expected outcome.
While there is no official word on the extent of the strike’s impact, it
definitely comes as a headache for Levy. However, things may not stay the same
for long as production is expected to resume as soon as the strikes are over,
while pre-production may already be in place.
