Deadpool 3: Ryan Reynolds Reveals He Wants Stranger Things Director for his MCU Debut Movie

In an interview with Comicbook.com, Ryan Reynolds was asked whether he would be favorable to have Shawn Levy, director of Stranger Things, Free Guy, and The Adam Project, to be the one on the director’s seat for his upcoming MCU debut movie, Deadpool 3, his response was direct and somewhat cheesy, "That would be amazing."

Reynolds also showed his eagerness to have Levy with him in Deadpool 3 as well as Hugh Jackman who introduced him to Levy, "I say write to Kevin Feige, care of Marvel Cinematic Universe at whatever Buena Vista Way. I don't know where it is, but yeah, that would be nice. That would be a dream. That would be dream come true.”

As of last year, Kevin Feige confirmed that Deadpool 3 is in active development which means that it would now form part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and be the debut of Deadpool in the franchise considering that the first two movies are not canon yet.

Levy recently expressed his intent to direct a Marvel or Star Wars film and he said that when the timing is right, he would definitely love to take on such a project. He has two projects with Ryan Reynolds recently with The Adam Project and Free Guy.

Considering that Levy has a huge background when it comes to comedy and science-fiction and Reynolds, of course, is a hilarious guy, it seems that the two would be a perfect fit for Deadpool 3 because, seriously, the merc with a mouth could really bring anyone to the floor laughing.

Deadpool 3 has no release date yet but it is confirmed to be in active development.
