Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy is reportedly leading the pack of directors Marvel Studios is eyeing to take the reins of the fifth Avengers movie, according to Deadline. The film, previously titled Avengers: Kang Dynasty, has been without a director since the departure of Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton from the project in late 2023.
Levy's involvement in the film isn't confirmed, with Deadline reporting that Marvel is also eyeing several other directors white they wait for an answer. But perhaps just as interesting in the trade's reporting is that whether Levy joins the film or not, Marvel seems to be taking Avengers 5 in a whole new direction.
