Director Shawn Levy believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will play a crucial role in the future of filmmaking. While he has not yet utilized AI significantly in his storytelling career, he emphasizes the importance of responsibly integrating AI technologies while maintaining the creative voice as paramount. Levy expressed his view that AI should be embraced rather than feared, highlighting the need for a human-centric approach in utilizing emerging AI capabilities to enhance storytelling.
Levy is set to release the space opera movie ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ on May 28, 2027, featuring a star-studded cast including Ryan Gosling, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Amy Adams, and Aaron Pierre.

In a recent interview, Levy shared his aspiration for ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ to capture both grand spectacle and intimate human stories, drawing parallels to his experience with ‘Stranger Things’. Emphasizing the importance of staying true to character-driven narratives and meaningful relationships on screen, Levy aims to deliver a new Star Wars adventure that resonates with fans by blending epic elements with intimate storytelling, inspired by the success of ‘Stranger Things’.
