![Shawn Levy on the Privilege of Directing ‘Star Wars’ and Status of Project [Exclusive]](https://i.headtopics.com/images/2022/12/14/collider/shawn-levy-on-the-privilege-of-directing-star-wars-shawn-levy-on-the-privilege-of-directing-star-wars-1603085935876399104.webp)
Shawn Levy discusses the status of his StarWars project.
Shawn Levy is a busy man. The prolific director and producer just oversaw the release of Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again, the animated continuation of his wildly successful Night at the Museum trilogy of films. If that weren't enough, he's also gearing up to begin shooting Deadpool 3 with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Logan/Wolverine, and will be directing on the fifth and final season of Stranger Things as well.
I've gotten lucky because ironically it started with Night at the Museum where you're really building a world, and you're incorporating comedy and heart. And you and I have spoken a lot, that’s very much what I tried to do on Free Guy and Adam Project. And so to get the calls from both Marvel and Lucasfilm, really gratifying. Because I've done this job for a while and these are calls I definitely hoped I would someday get.
"Yes. I'm very aware of the ratio of filmmakers who get to the starting line. As you know, Steve, I'm a student of the business, and so of course I note that. But here's my attitude: I have this golden ticket into a galaxy far away, and I'm going to devote myself to developing a screenplay that gives me the privilege of making this movie. I don't attach to things because it looks good in a trade announcement. I attach to things that I intend to make.
