Shawn Levy provides updates on his STAR WARS movie and its spin-off series REAL STEEL

Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy he has a lot of projects he’s trying to work on, but the strikes have stopped him. When things pick up, he’ll be right back to work on his highly anticipated Marvel film, but fans are also wondering what the status of his film will be. Star Wars film, as well as his Real steel series, both in development.

As for where exactly each project is in the works, Levy was first asked what his is Star Wars film, and told Collider in a recent interview:

“We were just starting the development process on my film when the writers’ strike happened. So we’re in that holding pattern that a lot of our industry is in.”

When asked if this was also the case for the Real steel series, Levy confirmed that the situation was nearly identical, although he went slightly further by assuring fans of the film that he was desperate to get the project done, and confirmed that it was “alive” and underway. Levy explained:

“Same, I could literally say, ‘See above.’ The same. Yet, as I told you, I want it as much as the lovers of Real Steel want it, so alive, but on pause.

So no big news, but neither project is dead, and that says something about how movie studios are canceling things left and right these days. Let’s hope both the movie and the series stay where they are until Levy can return to pick them up. Currently, Deadpool 3 is still shooting for a May 3, 2024 release date. Stay tuned for further updates.
