Shawn Levy is reportedly in early talks to direct a Star Wars film.

The Adam Project director is in early negotiations with Lucasfilm to direct a Star Wars movie, according to Deadline.

Shawn shared screenshots of the news to his Twitter and Instagram on Tuesday, seemingly confirming Deadline's report. He captioned his post, "Childhood me is losing his s**t right now. Grown-up me is too."

The prolific filmmaker is currently working alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman on Deadpool 3, set for release in November 2024.
