The filmmaker claims he feels empowered to trust his cinematic instincts.
The Adam Project and Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy is expected to head to the galaxy far, far away at some point in the future, with the filmmaker recently expressing that he is being encouraged by Lucasfilm to pursue whatever type of story he would like and that he's not feeling any pressure from the studio to deliver something within their expectations.
"When Kathy Kennedy brought me on board to make a Star Wars movie, her central mandate to me was, 'I want a Shawn Levy movie. I want a story and a tone that reflects you and your taste and what you bring to your movies -- with a Star Wars story,'" Levy recently shared with Variety."So I have felt extremely empowered.
Given the scope of Deadpool 3 and its built-in following, as well as being a partnership with Disney, Levy also addressed how the Ryan Reynolds sequel is factoring into his time with Star Wars. "The experience that I'm currently having with Marvel on Deadpool is showing me firsthand that it is indeed really possible to feel empowered and personal about making a movie within a universe that is bigger than any one film," the filmmaker expressed."My Deadpool movie is turning out to be exactly what Ryan and I had hoped when we started off.
On the topic of Levy's friendship with Adam Driver, as far as whether this could result in a Kylo Ren prequel, Levy joked,"Your words, not mine! As you know Adam is a buddy, and I've always been a huge fan of Kylo Ren. But no comment.
