Stranger Things Producer Teases a Potential Crossover With Deadpool

We live in the era of shared universes and crossovers. Now Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy has revealed that a Deadpool crossover could be possible.

On the Emmys red carpet, Shawn Levy spoke with Variety about developing the incoming Stranger Things Cinematic Universe.

“Yes, we are building out the STCU, and now that I’m spending time with [chief creative officer of Marvel Entertainment] Kevin Feige, I’m learning a lot about how to manage a universe,” he said. “So I’m taking those skills and applying them to the STCU.”

Apart from Stranger Things, Levy is going to direct the upcoming third Deadpool film. When asked if there could be a crossover between the two properties, Levy answered.

“Funnily enough, Ryan [Reynolds] and I were trying to figure out how in the world could we do a ‘Deadpool’-‘Stranger Things’ crossover,” he said. “We haven’t cracked it yet, but it’s on the table.”

Duffer Brothers are now working on a Stranger Things spinoff series as well as a stage play.

“Matt and Ross are an exceptionally unique talent with a vision so crisp and clear,” said Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix, when announcing the STCU. “They are all about the details — it’s no accident that ‘Stranger Things’ has pierced the zeitgeist to become the epic pop culture phenomenon it is today. We’re excited to continue telling new stories with them as they grow Upside Down Pictures and to welcome Hilary [Leavitt] as creative partner.”
