The love fest currently running between Free Guy and The Adam Project director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds has reached a new milestone today, as THR reports that Levy has been tapped to step in as director on the upcoming, Marvel-produced Deadpool 3.
The Deadpool films—which have been mothballed since 2018, in part because of the high-profile transfer of all of Fox’s X-Men-adjacent projects over to Disney—have always had a bit of a struggle in finding directors. Most notably, Deadpool director Tim Miller (who’d managed to score a major hit with his directing debut) left the second film, reportedly over creative differences with Reynolds. David Leitch ended up handling that sequel.
