Shawn Adam Levy is a Canadian director who founded the production company 21 Laps Entertainment. For those who don’t know, 21 Laps Entertainment is the production company of Strange things.
Putting two and two together, Shawn Levy will also direct Dead Pool 3. That basically means he has the leverage (he’ll have to do a Marvel-worthy speech though) to include Ryan Reynolds’ character in the Netflix series, or have the characters from the TV series included in maybe a cameo. for the next Deadpool movie.

Here’s what the 54-year-old director had to say about possibly crossover with Variety on the Emmys red carpet-
“Ryan Reynolds and I were trying to figure out how we could do a ‘Deadpool’-‘Stranger Things’ crossover. We haven’t cracked it yet, but it’s on the table.
Sounds like good news, right? Sorry to break it to you guys but it’s not happening. In a new tweet on his account, Levy confirms that the crosstalk was just a “dumb joke” he made during the interview.
Wade Wilson can’t stand the sight of blood, unless it’s his own or his enemies’. Nosebleeds are a tough pass. No DP/ST crossover coming, folks. Sorry, my stupid joke led to misleading titles🙃⚔️

We all wanted Levy’s crossover, and it’s really sad that we didn’t get it. But hey, at least we get Dead Pool 3.

I kind of expected to see fans on Twitter blasting Levy’s tweet thread like crazy, but it seems like they’re pretty smart-
I’m sorry more people didn’t realize you were joking. I was sure you were! I still think Ryan should play Sam Mayfield, Max’s dad. 🙂 (from the book Runaway Max by Brenna Yovanoff)

This user assures Levy that he doesn’t have to apologize-
If an obvious joke was used for the click-bait (as usual), that’s THEM problem. You haven’t done anything for which you should apologize.

It was just jokes! No, but seriously, a stranger things and the Deadpool crossover looks amazing, and we can only dream of all the hilarious one-liners Deadpool would do with Steve Harrington.
