Shawn Levy – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Wed, 24 Apr 2024 10:30:22 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Shawn Levy – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 The Claws Come Out in Full Trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine https://www.geekfeed.com/full-trailer-for-deadpool-wolverine-released/ Wed, 24 Apr 2024 10:30:22 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=82066 Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine was only teased in the first preview for Deadpool & Wolverine, but now we get to see him back at it with the latest trailer for the movie.

Check the trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine out:

Though we know that Wade gets hired by the TVA to be ‘Marvel Jesus’, we also get a bit of background on this version of Logan. It does look like this Wolverine is the reason his world is dead and him teaming up with Deadpool will be his redemption arc.

Besides a lot of Logan, we also get a look at Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin), who looks to be the main villain of the series. In the comics, Nova is Professor X’s ‘dark twin’ who Xavier tried to kill while they were in the womb together—no, seriously.

It looks like Nova is the one who runs this 20th Century Fox Marvel wasteland, and we get to see some discarded characters from early X-Men films including Lady Deathstrike (X-Men 2), Azazel (X-Men: First Class), and Callisto (X-Men: The Last Stand). Even when Nova is instroduced, we see her getting off of what some assume is Charles Xavier’s wheelchair.

Of course, we should also expect some references to non-Fox properties in Deadpool &  Wolverine. We get to see Alioth, the cloud monster at the end of time from Loki; and Nova’s base of operations looks to be the dead body of Giant/Ant-Man—something right out of Old Man Logan.

So far, a very obscure cameo-fest looks to be happening, but I am hoping that director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds have a meaningful story in mind for Deadpool’s jump into the MCU. I’m just honestly hoping this doesn’t mean 10 more years of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine because I would love for someone else to finally take on the role.

Deadpool & Wolverine is set to come into theaters on July 26.

Wade Becomes a TVA Agent in First Trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine https://www.geekfeed.com/wade-in-first-trailer-for-deadpool-wolverine/ Tue, 13 Feb 2024 11:18:26 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=81019 As promised, Superbowl Sunday managed to give us our first look at the upcoming Deadpool 3, and it teases the first-ever team-up between Wade Wilson and Logan.

Here’s the teaser for Deadpool & Wolverine:

As confirmed, the plot  for Deadpool & Wolverine does have something to do with Wade being assigned by the TVA (Time Variance Authority) as one of their agents, but it’s unclear what mission he’ll be going on. We know that Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is going to be part of the film, but a surprising reveal was Aaron Stanford who had played the part of Pyro in the original X movies alongside Jackman.

Based on the rumors that have been coming out, Pyro is only one of several other Marvel Fox characters that are expected to make an appearance. Jennifer Garner is rumored to be reprising the role of Elektra, and it’s rumored that the film will even go as so far to have someone from the original Fantastic Four movies appear.

For what is being expected to be a cameo fest, the teaser actually had a lot of restraint when it came to revealing Wolverine. We don’t know when he’ll be a main part of the trailer, but hopefully Marvel doesn’t blow all the big cameos in the marketing like what Sony has done with the MCU Spider-Man movies.

I just hope they address why Julian Dennison’s Firefist isn’t in the film, because they spent so much of the last movie establishing Wade as his adoptive father. Also, where is Domino???

Catch Deadpool & Wolverine when they cut their way into theaters on July 26.

X-Men First Class Director Says Deadpool 3 will “Save” MCU https://www.geekfeed.com/x-men-first-class-deadpool-3-will-save-mcu/ Sat, 03 Feb 2024 15:38:24 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=80875 It’s no mystery that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been going on a slump since the release of Avengers: Endgame, and after the box office underperformance of The Marvels, everyone is just wondering what will bring success back to Marvel Studios.

What’s interesting is, Matthew Vaughn, the director behind X-Men: First Class and the Kingsman franchise, thinks that the upcoming Deadpool movie from Shawn Levy is going to be the very project that will restore a bit of fire to the MCU. Talking to BroBible.com, Vaughn shares:

“The few snippets that I know about Deadpool vs. Wolverine — or Wolverine vs. Deadpool, I’m sure that argument between Ryan and Hugh is happening as we speak — are unbelievable. That’s going to be the jolt… the Marvel universe is about to have a jolt of them and it’s going to bring that body back to life. I think Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are about to save the whole Marvel universe.”

We don’t know exactly what to expect with Deadpool 3, but it is rumored that the movie will neatly close the Marvel Fox cinematic universe after the disappointing reception of X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Not only are we expecting to see Hugh Jackman come back as Logan, but the movie is also said to be bringing back pre-MCU Marvel characters like Elektra (Jennifer Garner) and maybe someone from the first Fantastic Four movies (fingers crossed for Chris Evans’ Human Torch returning).

With the film having had to delay shooting thanks to the SAG-AFTRA Strike, everyone is hopeful that Deadpool 3 will manage to make its July deadline this year. Hopefully we get a trailer soon.

Deadpool 3 is set to come out in theaters on July 26.

Ryan Reynolds Announces Wrap for Deadpool 3 https://www.geekfeed.com/ryan-reynolds-announces-wrap-for-deadpool-3/ Sun, 28 Jan 2024 06:14:01 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=80769 Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were in the middle of shooting Deadpool 3 when the SAG-AFTRA Strike hit last year, and the movie had to be indefinitely delayed while a new deal was being made. Production had recently begun again, and now Reynolds has announced a production wrap.

Here’s his official post for Deadpool 3:

It’s not clear whether it was intentional or not, but the post definitely harkens back to a gag from the first film where Deadpool wears red so people can’t see him bleed:

With this movie being a third of a trilogy, a lot of fans think that this could mean the end of something, but everyone is still expecting Ryan Reynolds to stick around and crossover with some other MCU heroes before officially leaving the part. A lot of people are hoping for a Spider-Man team-up with Tom Holland at some point, but we don’t know if Sony would be ballsy enough to release a Spidey film that isn’t multiverse-centric anymore.

As for the Deadpool continuity, some think this will be Marvel’s way of officially sending off the 20th Century Fox timeline. After all the flak that Dark Phoenix received, it would be great if the film managed put an official close to the Marvel timeline that came before.

We don’t know when we’ll get our first look at the movie, but with production wrapped, fingers crossed we get something next month.

Watch out for Deadpool 3 when it comes to cinemas on July 26.

Ryan Reynolds Says Deadpool 3 Set Leaks are in the ‘‘Good Problems’ Bucket’ https://www.geekfeed.com/ryan-reynolds-on-deadpool-3-set-leaks/ Mon, 11 Dec 2023 16:39:08 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=80017 Everyone is happy that Deadpool 3 can get back into production, but a lot of fans have considered that they have been spoiled, seeing that the set photos that have been coming out online have been showcasing some big character reveals.

Though this has boosted some interest in the film, Ryan Reynolds himself has decided to release a statement, urging websites and social channels to hold back on sharing some set photos. Here’s what he posted:

Even though Reynolds and company do consider the spoilers online an issue, he does say that it is a ‘good problem’ to have. He explains, “Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real world issues and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket. I love making this movie.”

So far, the biggest reveal that the movie has officially shared is that Hugh Jackman is back as Wolverine, and he’ll be donning the yellow spandex from the comics. Reynolds has also shown a photo of himself as Wade Wilson with the Deadpool variant Dogpool (who has a ridiculously long tongue):

As for set spoilers, I don’t want to get into it, but people have spotted character(s) from the original Fox Marvel properties. That’s as specific I’m willing to go. Hopefully we get to see other, never-before-seen variants show up in the film. Not everything can run on nostalgia.

Deadpool 3 is set to release in theaters July 26, 2024.

Check Out New Photo of Dogpool from Deadpool 3 https://www.geekfeed.com/check-out-new-photo-of-dogpool-from-deadpool-3/ Fri, 24 Nov 2023 17:37:34 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=79819 With the SAG-AFTRA Strike over, Deadpool 3 can finally resume production. We haven’t seen any new glimpses of Ryan Reynolds or Hugh Jackman yet, but we do have a new photo of a Deadpool variant in the movie in the form of Dogpool

Dogpool has their own official account, and we have a new photo of them just lying on their back. Check it:

A post shared by Dogpool (@dogpool)


Though Dogpool is essentially male in the comics, it does look like the dog they got for the film is a girl; so to avoid any misgendering, I’ll just go with the neutral they/them for Dogpool.

In the comics, Dogpool was originally a dog named Wilson that was experimented on by a make-up company in the hopes that he would help create a product that could give people eternal youth. After his body was disregarded, he was discovered by a circus that used his healing ability to turn him into a performer named “Deadpool, the Daredevil Dog”. Eventually Dogpool was recruited into the Deadpool Corps. which was a collection of variant Deadpools that were brought together to face a growing threat.

We don’t know exactly what Dogpool’s role in the movie will be, but seeing as the film is supposed to have Wade dealing with the TVA, it’s possible that Dogpool could be one of the DP variants that they have in custody. Either that, or maybe Wade just runs into the dog and decides to keep them around for the fun of it.

Either way, I think Dogpool looks great, and they can be pretty cute despite looking like the dog version of Wade Wilson sans mask.

Deadpool 3 is aiming for a release on July 26, 2024.

Deadpool 3 Possible Plot Leak Explains Why Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is Brought Back https://www.geekfeed.com/deadpool-3-plot-leak-explains-wolverine-return/ Tue, 31 Oct 2023 10:28:44 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=79428 Hugh Jackman may have hung the claws up back in 2017 with Logan, but the promise of a team-up with Ryan Reynolds just seemed too sweet that he had to come back as Wolverine for Deadpool 3. We don’t know exactly what the plot of the film is yet, or how Logan factors into this, but a rumor is going around that it will have something to do with the Time Variance Authority from Loki.

According to @MyTimeToShineH, the TVA will be rounding up the ‘Prime’ versions of heroes across the Marvel multiverse to gather them for an army against Kang. Here’s the post:

We don’t know if this is official yet, but it does line up with rumors that the movie will contain multiple versions of the same hero; one Wolverine variant is said to be played by none other than ‘short king’ Daniel Radcliffe. The film is also rumored to bring back Jennifer Garner’s Elektra and maybe someone from the Fox version of Fantastic Four.

New cast members for the film include Matthew Macfadyen (Succession) and Emma Corrin (The Crown). It’s unclear who they could be playing in the film, but Macfadyen is expected to be someone from the TVA, and some are guessing that Corrin could be Gwen Poole a.k.a. Gwenpool, a character from the comics who has the same 4th-wall-breaking ability that Wade does, except that she can use this to actually alter the story—much like what She-Hulk does in her Disney+ show.

For now, fans are just left to speculate, and with the SAG AFTRA Strike currently ongoing, we might have to wait even longer for Deadpool 3 to finally release in theaters. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Deadpool 3 is currently eyeing a release on May 3, 2024, but that could be subject to change.

Stranger Things Director Talks the ‘F*cking Awesome’ Prequel Play https://www.geekfeed.com/stranger-things-director-talks-prequel-play/ Fri, 20 Oct 2023 10:31:54 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=79308 Shawn Levy may be best known for his family-friendly action films like Free Guy and The Adam Project, but he’s also the director for one of Netflix’s biggest shows—Stranger Things.

Though the season is set to end with the fifth one, there is a play in the works called Stranger Things: The First Shadow, and it will follow a young Hopper and Joyce as things start getting weirder in Hawkins. We don’t know what the play will look like yet, but Levy is also involved, and he gives an update about the production.

Talking to The Wrap, Levy explains, “We’re busy on a bunch of fronts because we also have our ‘Stranger Things’ play opening in London imminently. It’s fabulous. It’s f–king awesome.” Levy continues, “It has exceeded all our expectations. We’re very excited to share that with the world… We are raring to go — our cast, our crew. Everyone not only needs to get back to work because we have many hundreds of crew members who have not been able to make a living since the strikes began, but we will be shooting very shortly after the actor’s strike ends.”

So far, the play has only been able to release a teaser, but we have yet to get any photos of the cast in full costume:

https://twitter.com/i/status/1676561572599156737

The play does come with a synopsis which promises to bring fans to Hawkins 1959:

Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries. Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister won’t take his radio show seriously and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get the hell out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy… and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.

Take note, Henry Creel a.k.a. Vecna, is only going to be 12-years-old in this show. We don’t know exactly what’s going to go on, but with the original show debuting with a mysterious young girl with powers, we could very well see the opposite of Eleven’s story play out with Creel arriving in Hawkins.

Then again, that’s just my guess.

No release date has been set for Stranger Things: The First Shadow yet, but some fans think it could open around the same time as the premiere for the fifth season of the show sometime next year.

Deadpool 3 Director on Taylor Swift Being in the Film https://www.geekfeed.com/deadpool-3-director-on-taylor-swift-rumor/ Fri, 20 Oct 2023 10:24:05 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=79301 Twitter was abuzz earlier this month when rumors started going around that Taylor Swift could be in the upcoming Deadpool 3 because she was seen hanging out with Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, and DP3 director Shawn Levy.

A lot of fans have been guessing that Swift is going to be playing the mutant Dazzler in the film, and Levy himself has been asked to comment about the rumors on Swift making a cameo. Talking to The Wrap, Levy says, “I’m going across the board. ‘No comment’ because that’s a double whammy. That’s Taylor-related. And it’s MCU-related. I’m no dummy. You’re going to have to wait and see.”

Though Swift is mostly known for her music, she does do the occasional appearance in films, like the Cats musical as well as her short appearance in Amsterdam which is arguably the best way to kill a person onscreen:

Insider @MyTimeToShineH did say that Swift was going to be in the film, but not as the Dazzler. Here’s their post:

Seeing that their scoops have ended up being hit and miss lately, we should also take this rumor with a grain of salt. After all, plans could change. Deadpool 3 is currently looking at a huge delay thanks to the SAG-AFTRA strike, and who’s to say Swift or anyone else in the cast could get into some kind of public tiff that could have studio heads demand the re-editing of the film—just look at what happened to Ansel Elgort around the release of West Side Story.

For now rumors are rumors, but fans are hoping they get an update on DP3 soon.

Deadpool 3 Release Date in ‘True Risk’ Because of SAG-AFTRA Strike https://www.geekfeed.com/deadpool-3-release-date-in-true-risk/ Thu, 19 Oct 2023 12:58:52 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=79263 It was just recently reported that the industry heads had walked out of negotiations with SAG-AFTRA, and it looks like the Actors’ Strike is going to be lasting a bit longer.

Since the strike’s purpose was essentially to put a halt on several projects, it looks like Marvel’s Deadpool 3 is also in jeopardy. Talking to The Wrap, director Shawn Levy says that the strike is likely to cause a huge delay in the release of the film—which is set to come out in May 2024. Levy explains:

“I wish I knew. I don’t even know if we officially have [a release date]. I know we were gonna be May 3… Certainly, the actors’ strike and the long pause in production have put that release date in true risk. We’ve shot half the movie. I’ve edited half the movie. We’re dying to get back to work and get this movie out next year.”

With the WGA Strike having just recently ended last September, a lot of people thought that the SAG Strike would be nearing its end as well. As it turns out, the AMPTP had allegedly walked off the table with an offer lower than what they had before the strike, and they were said to be using some legal loopholes to get actors to consent to the use of their image without them intending to.

As for Deadpool 3, some fans were considering this movie to be the sendoff to the Fox universe of Marvel films; besides Hugh Jackman, the film was also said to be bringing back some versions of Fox heroes from films like Fantastic Four and even Daredevil.

Then again, fans had burned themselves with expectations before with Multiverse of Madness, so we’ll just have to wait and see how the movie turns out.

Hopefully the SAG Strikes will end soon. Just give actors a fair deal, AMPTP!

Deadpool 3 is currently set for a release in May

Fanart Imagines Taylor Swift as the Dazzler in Deadpool 3 https://www.geekfeed.com/fanart-imagines-taylor-swift-as-the-dazzler/ Fri, 06 Oct 2023 07:29:37 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=79048 Rumors have been going around that Taylor Swift was going to be in Deadpool 3 thanks to the video of her at the Kansas City Chiefs games with the Deadpool team walking behind her (including Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, and director Shawn Levy). While nothing official has been confirmed, everyone has started buzzing about Swift’s possible cameo in DP3, and a lot of fans want her to play the Dazzler.

Just in, fan artist BossLogic has released a mock-up of what Swift could look like in her Dazzler costume. Check this out:

For context, here’s the video of Swift with the Deadpool 3 team following behind her:

Dazzler was a comic character introduced back in the 80s, and was a mutant that could turn sound vibrations into light and energy beams. She is considered by some to be an LGBT icon, and she made her live-action debut in the poorly received Dark Phoenix movie with Sophie Turner (who is currently hanging out with Swift).

Of course, nothing official has been confirmed about Swift’s appearance in Deadpool, but you can’t blame the fans for wanting her in the part. Swift has been known to take the occasional acting role, and a character like Dazzler is someone who probably won’t have to appear that much onscreen yet still have a presence—kind of like Shakira’s Gazelle in Zootopia.

Production may be halted due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, but with negotiations underway, things should start kicking up again for Deadpool 3. Catch the film in theaters on May 3, 2024.

Stranger Things Director Updates on Status of His Star Wars Project https://www.geekfeed.com/shawn-levy-updates-on-status-star-wars-project/ Tue, 19 Sep 2023 09:43:45 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=78798 It was reported late last year that Stranger Things and Free Guy director Shawn Levy was in talks to helm a Star Wars project, and a lot of fans thought he would be perfect for the IP.

For now, Levi is deep at work with Marvel’s Deadpool 3, but he does offer an update on what’s happening with his Star Wars. Talking to Collider, Levi confirms that the project is currently on hold thanks to the WGA and SAG AFTRA strikes. He says, “We were just starting the process of developing my [Star Wars] movie, and the writer strike happened… So we are in that holding pattern that so much of our industry is in.”

We don’t have any details on what kind of story Levy has in mind for Star Wars, but we do know that the IP has been alluded to in several of Levy’s projects like the Millennium Falcon in Stranger Things and Ryan Reynolds wielding a lightsaber/laser weapon in Free Guy and The Adam Project.

Admittedly, Lucasfilm has been announcing several directors whose projects seem to have gone nowhere from Patty Jenkins to Taika Waititi, and even Watchmen series creator Damon Lindelof.

We don’t know exactly what is holding up the SW projects over at Disney, but with the very vocal (and oftentimes toxic) fandom of Star Wars online, it seems that the company is trying to find out a way to release things while disappointing the least amount of people.

Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau seem to be doing well on the fanservice side of things, but there is a chunk of the fandom (who some believe is the actual majority) that believe SW should embrace actual good storytelling first.

With Levy’s penchant for family-friendly films, I’m not surprised Lucasfilm would approach him for a Star Wars picture. Hopefully the strike ends soon, and he can get to work on it ASAP.

No release date has been set for Levy’s Star Wars.

Alleged Deadpool 3 Leak Claims Film will Include Multiple Wolverines https://www.geekfeed.com/deadpool-3-leak-reports-multiple-wolverines/ Fri, 15 Sep 2023 11:19:49 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=78757 Everyone is excited for Deadpool 3, and though we know that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman would be teaming up for the film, the plot is still pretty much under wraps. With the rumor this week that Daniel Radcliffe has joined the cast of the film, a new leak suggests that the film could include multiple versions of Wolverine.

This comes from @MyTimeToShineH:

Seeing as I’m in the camp that they should find someone else to play Wolverine, I’m hoping that the rumor only turns out to be partly true. Though I wouldn’t want to see Jackman play the part for 10 more years, I am intrigued at the film looking at several different versions of the character—with one possibly being played by Daniel Radcliffe.

With Deadpool’s meta nature, fans are theorizing that the film will have DP dealing with the collapsing 20th Century Fox universe and tackling all the other non-MCU heroes that have come before Iron Man in 2008—and that includes properties like Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Blade, Daredevil, and of course—X-Men. Maybe we can even get some jokes about the X-Force film that never happened or the cancelled Gambit project that Channing Tatum was so eager to move forward with.

For now, the WGA Strike and SAG AFTRA Strike have led to production grinding to a halt, but fans are hopeful that negotiations will end soon and the film could still come out in 2024.

Deadpool 3 is set to release on May 3, 2024.

Set Photos Reveal First Look at Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 3 https://www.geekfeed.com/first-look-at-ryan-reynolds-in-deadpool-3/ Sun, 09 Jul 2023 06:07:13 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=77700 Deadpool 3 is set to come out next year, and Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are currently shooting the third installment with director Shawn Levy. We don’t know when Marvel will be ready to drop a first trailer, but some set photos have leaked online of Reynolds in DP garb.

These photos come from Mirror (via @GeekVibesNation):

Admittedly, the costume looks very similar to what we’ve seen with Deadpool before, but since this is the MCU, we should expect some changes to come with every future appearance—I mean, they still have to cash in with the toys with every movie.

We don’t have a look at Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine yet, but there are rumors swirling around that we’ll finally get him in his iconic 90s look complete with yellow spandex and mask.

Besides Reynolds and Jackman, the movie is also set to bring back other Deadpool supporting cast members including Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Rob Delaney (X-Force’s Peter), and Karan Soni (Dopinder the taxi driver). They’re also bringing back some faces from the X-Men including Brianna Hildebrand (NTW), Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio), and Stefan Kapicic (Colossus).

No synopsis has been revealed for the film, but it has been rumored that the main story will concern Deadpool being hunted down by the TVA from Loki, and Owen Wilson will be reprising his role of Mobius. We don’t know what Wade did exactly, but it’s possible this could have something to do with him messing with Cable time-travel device in Deadpool 2.

Watch out for Deadpool 3 when it hits cinemas on Nov. 8, 2024.

All the Light We Cannot See: Watch Trailer for Wartime Drama from Stranger Things Director https://www.geekfeed.com/all-the-light-we-cannot-see-gets-wartime-drama/ Thu, 20 Apr 2023 17:58:55 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=76396 Shawn Levy has been known to be a modern-day Chris Columbus with family-friendly action movies like Night at the Museum and Free Guy—and let’s also not forget about Netflix’s mega-hit Stranger Things. Despite Levy’s filmography, he has teamed up with Netflix for something on the more serious side.

Check out the trailer for miniseries All The Light We Cannot See:

The trailer doesn’t have any dialogue at all, but we can see that the story takes place during WWII around the rise of the Third Reich. Here’s the synopsis:

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE tells the story of the extraordinary power of human connection. Over the course of a decade, this limited series interweaves the lives of Marie-Laure Leblanc, a blind French girl taking refuge with her uncle during WWII, and Werner Pfennig, an brilliant German teenager with an expertise in radio repair. Through a shared secret connection, they find faith in humanity and the possibility of hope.

The series stars Louis Hofmann, Lars Eidinger, Marion Baily, Hugh Laurie, and Mark Ruffalo. The series also introduces us to newcomer Aria Mia Loberti, who is said to be an actual blind actress; what’s also impressive is that she has no prior acting experience before she was cast in the film.

We know all about wartime dramas, with several great entries in the genre over the decades, but I’m interested to see what kind of series Levy can come up with, knowing his knack for kid-friendly action.

Catch All The Light We Cannot See when it starts streaming on Netflix on Nov. 2.

Stranger Things Director Shawn Levy in Talks to Helm Star Wars https://www.geekfeed.com/shawn-levy-in-talks-to-helm-star-wars/ Wed, 09 Nov 2022 10:44:20 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=71949 Director Shawn Levy has been considered a modern-day Chris Columbus, making family-friendly action adventures from Night at the Museum to Stranger Things. Now it looks like he could be working on one of the most valued movie IPs of all time.

As per Deadline, Levy is currently in talks to develop a Star Wars movie for Lucasfilm. We have no details about the film he could be working on, but it’s said that he’ll get to work on it after Deadpool 3 and the final season of Stranger Things.

This must come as a huge opportunity for Levy who has laced his previous works with Star Wars references like the Falcon in Stranger Things and the pseudo-lightsaber in The Adam Project. I expect he would be the prefect talent to deliver a Star Wars film that has a solid story and is also a fun adventure for kids and their parents. I’m just hoping working on two big franchises won’t have him burnt out by the time he’s set to work on Star Wars.

I guess one question that a lot of people will have is whether Levy will be bringing in his frequent collaborator Ryan Reynolds. With Star Wars a franchise that kind of doesn’t depend on popularity of actors, I can imagine them putting Reynolds in some kind of alien get-up as a fun cameo. I think he would be a fun smuggler character like Han Solo.

For now, watch out for Deadpool 3 which is set to come out Nov. 8, 2024.

Netflix Reveals Title for Stranger Things S05 Premiere Episode https://www.geekfeed.com/stranger-things-s05-premiere-episode-title-reveal/ Mon, 07 Nov 2022 14:58:59 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=71915 The last season of Stranger Things had ended on a major cliffhanger, but we’ll have to wait until 2024 to see what’s going to happen to the sleepy town of Hawkins, Indiana. Since it’s Stranger Things Day, Netflix has decided to tease us with the title of the premiere episode of Stranger Things 5.

As per the official post, the first episode of the season will be titled The Crawl. Check this out:

We don’t really know what ‘The Crawl’ means yet, but the show has been notorious for these ambiguous episode titles—that’s why they can always reveal them before the season premieres. With a significant amount of the town going under, I wonder just what the title entails for the characters. Will someone have to crawl through some tight area to save a bunch of trapped people? Will the Upside Down slowly ‘crawl’ its way up to the real world?

With a majority of the last season consisting of the characters separated and going through their own arcs, I’m hoping that the final season will have everyone together this time around. Besides the exciting mysteries, a lot of fans think the winning formula of Stranger Things has always been the character chemistry, and I’m eager to see what Mike and his gang will be up to, now that they’re a bit more grown and the problems have just gotten way out of proportion.

Stranger Things 5 is set to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2024.

Now word has it that Levy could be teaming up with Reynolds for an established property that everyone has been waiting to hear an update about.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Levy has now been tapped to direct Deadpool 3. We don’t have any specifics on the project, but we do know that Ryan Reynolds will be returning, and that this time, he will be part of the MCU continuity.

Should Levy land the job, he would be the third director to take on the Merc with the Mouth. The first movie was directed by Tim Miller with the hiring David Leitch as the director. With Levy’s penchant for family-friendly action, I think he’s the perfect choice to bring us an MCU-friendly version of the character. Then again, I would just love it if Reynolds can just keep going all out with the way he portrays DP.

Personally, I always thought that the Deadpool films have kind of been a mixed bag. Though it was great to finally have the character come to screen, I think both films have a messy narrative problem. Hopefully this time we can get a clearer story out of the character, but they should try their best to steer away from the established MCU formula.

We don’t know when Deadpool will make his official MCU debut, but I’m hoping they have him fall through a portal in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. How ballsy would it be if they had him introduce us to the concept of mutants in the MCU?

No release date has been set for Deadpool 3, but the Doctor Strange sequel comes out May 6. Catch The Adam Project now on Netflix.

The Script for Free Guy 2 is Almost Done https://www.geekfeed.com/the-script-for-free-guy-2-is-almost-done/ Sun, 06 Mar 2022 09:17:45 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=64340 Shawn Levy’s Free Guy was a surprise hit when it (finally) came out after several delays. Naturally, 20th Century Studios wants to follow up Guy’s story with a sequel, and it looks like the script is almost done.

Talking to THR, 20th Century Studios head Steve Asbell confirmed, “We’re awaiting a script that is days away. It’s a fantastic story.” We didn’t get any more details than that, but hopefully we get a good follow-up to the story.

If anything, Free Guy works as its own self-contained story about video game characters gaining sentience. While the story kind of ties itself up on a neat bow, I think that there are several existential questions that have been left for the audience to ponder—which I think would be too deep if they decided to go that route with the sequel.

My guess would be that the sequel would have something to do with the internet, but that’s already been done by Disney with Ralph Breaks the Internet. Hopefully they manage to take that film as a learning experience and improve on what didn’t work for that film.

We don’t know when the Free Guy sequel comes out, but Levy did team up with Ryan Reynolds for the Netflix film, The Adam Project. That movie may not have rights to things like lightsabers or Captain America’s shield, but it does feature some actual actors from the MCU like Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana.

No release date has been set for Free Guy 2, but you can catch Reynolds in The Adam Project which starts streaming on Netflix on March 11.

New Trailer for The Adam Project Promises a Sci-Fi Family Adventure https://www.geekfeed.com/new-trailer-for-the-adam-project-promises-a-sci-fi-family-adventure/ Wed, 02 Mar 2022 10:26:17 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=64301 Ryan Reynolds must have loved working with Shawn Levy with Free Guy, because the two immediately teamed up for The Adam Project for Netflix. We have a new trailer for the movie, and it should get fans hyped for the release later this month.

Watch the trailer for The Adam Project down here:

The new trailer actually gives us a lot more of the plot, and we discover that Reynolds is there to stop the invention of time travel (and save his father in the course of the film). We also find out that Zoe Saldana plays Reynolds’ love interest in the movie, and that both of them could be working for the same people who want to keep this time travel business from every happening.

With Levy behind the wheel, we should expect Adam Project to be a family-friendly action/adventure. He’s pretty much established himself with films like Free Guy and Night at the Museum; let’s not also forget his contributions with Netflix’s mega hit series Stranger Things.

Here’s the synopsis for The Adam Project:

Adam Reed (Walker Scobell), age 13, and still grieving the sudden death of his father (Mark Ruffalo) a year earlier, walks into his garage one night to find a wounded pilot hiding there. This mysterious pilot (Reynolds) turns out to be the older version of himself from the future, where time travel is in its infancy. He has risked everything to come back in time on a secret mission. Together they must embark on an adventure into the past to find their father, set things right, and save the world.

The three working together, both young and grown Adam come to terms with the loss of their father and have a chance to heal the wounds that have shaped them. Adding to the challenge of the mission, the two Adams discover they really don’t like each other very much, and if they’re going to save the world, they’re first going to have to figure out how to get along.

Catch The Adam Project when it drops on Netflix on March 11.
