Director Shawn Levy’s string of consecutive hits has made him one of the most popular filmmakers working today.
Levy began his career making successful comedies like ‘Just Married’, ‘Cheaper By the Dozen’, ‘The Pink Panther’, ‘Date Night’ and ‘The Internship’, but it was his work on the ‘Night at the Museum’ trilogy that really made him a top director in Hollywood.
Since then he has dabbled in other genres with films like ‘Real Steel’, ‘This is Where I Leave You,’ ‘Free Guy’ and ‘The Adam Project’, not to mention executive producing Netflix’s juggernaut series ‘Stranger Things’.
Now Levy is entering the MCU with ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’, which opens in theaters on July 26th and reunites him with frequent collaborators Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
In honor of the new film, Moviefone is counting down every movie Shawn Levy has ever directed, including his latest.
NOTE: For this list, we are only including movies Levy has directed, and we are not including his vast television work.
