Creative Team Deep Dive

Director: Shawn Levy

PRAGMATIC. Levy directs spectacle and comedy. His Stranger Things and Free Guy work shows facility with balancing humor and action without ideological agenda. For Deadpool 3, Levy functions as technical director executing a script that satirizes everything.

Shawn Levy brings action and comic timing expertise to Deadpool 3. His role is primarily to execute Reese, Wernick, and Reynolds' screenplay without editorial restraint. The film's tone is Deadpool's, not Levy's.
