Shawn Levy to direct the fifth part of “Avengers”?

According to Deadline Levy he has already read the script written by Michael Waldron. However, he did not declare whether he intended to accept the studio's offer. It is also known that Marvel intends to meet with other creators.

Pre-production of the fifth part “Avengers” she hasn't been the calmest so far. The film was announced in 2022. It was to be subtitled “Kang Dynasty” and the director was announced Destin Daniel Crattonthe creator “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”. The script was written by Jeff Loveness, who previously worked on “Ant-Man and Wasps: Quantomania”. The superhero team would face Jonathan Majors' character Kang the Conqueror.

Time verified these plans. In November 2023, Cretton resigned as director. That same month, the studio rejected Loveness's text and hired Waldron in his place. In December, Majors was fired by Marvel after being convicted of violence against his former partner, and the fifth part of “Avengers” abandoned its previous subtitle. A new actor will play Kang, and the character's role will no longer be as significant.

Marvel wants filming on “Avengers 5” to begin next year. The cast is unknown, and almost all the current heroes of the Cinematic Universe appear in rumors regarding the potential plot.

“Deadpool & Wolverine”, which is the only Marvel film this season, will premiere on July 24, 2024. The fifth part of “Avengers” is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026. Filming will take place in Great Britain.
