Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool 3 is still scheduled to be released on May 3, 2024, as previously announced, despite the SAG-AFTRA strike, according to The Wrap. A source with knowledge of the situation also said that the studio's top priority right now is restarting mid-production projects like Deadpool 3 and Captain America: Brave New World.
The movie is the first of the erstwhile Fox movies (The X-Men) that are scheduled to make their MCU debuts. In the post-credits sequence of Deadpool 2, the merc with a mouth was shown time-traveling, which might pave the ground for how he gets into the main MCU.
Hugh Jackman's comeback as Wolverine for Deadpool 3 has been another exciting revelation. Many fans doubted this possibility after Logan provided a satisfying finish to his character's saga. According to Jackman, his reappearance takes place before the events of Logan and does not invalidate them. Emma Corrin has also been confirmed to play a villain in the upcoming film.
Deadpool 3: The ballad of R-rated debauchery
The snarky assassin is back! Ryan Reynolds reprises his role as Wade Wilson in Deadpool 3, continuing his antics and bringing the character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Reynolds played the role of Deadpool for the first time in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and his love for the character has only grown with time. Hugh Jackman's return to his legendary role further adds to the excitement among fans, as it promises an intriguing Deadpool and Wolverine combo.
The 2016 remake of Deadpool proved the character's enormous appeal to executives, with the first two movies earning over $780 million worldwide. The character is set to formally join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with the release of Deadpool 3 on May 4, 2024.
These flicks stood apart from conventional superhero movies thanks to their R-rated comedy and violence, and even though now owned by Disney, the franchise is continuing its R-rated legacy. Disney and Marvel announced the character's entry into the MCU at SDCC 2022, and Ryan Reynolds subsequently announced the release date.
Now that Deadpool is officially set to join the Multiverse Saga in the MCU, more mutants will be able to join the ensemble, including Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, who will be returning to the role for the first time since Logan. Fans can expect more X-men to follow, as Marvel is also officially looking for screenwriters for the untitled X-men film.
Deadpool 3: Cast, plot, and more
While Domino actress Zazie Beetz and Cable actor Josh Brolin are not yet confirmed to return, Deadpool 3 will bring back well-known characters like Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), and Karan Soni as Dopinder, apart from Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in their iconic roles of Deadpool and Wolverine.
Most significantly, Elektra from Ben Affleck's Daredevil movie is expected to feature, suggesting that additional characters from earlier Marvel movies may also be incorporated into the plot. An unexpected casting rumor predicts that Taylor Swift will be in the movie as Dazzler, a mutant with the power to absorb sound and turn it into light.
Shawn Levy is set to direct Deadpool 3, taking the helm from Tim Miller and David Leitch, who directed the first two movies. The original writers, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, are on the scriptwriting team together with Wendy Molyneux, Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin from Bob's Burgers, and others. Fans have been reassured that Deadpool 3 will remain faithful to its predecessors' comedy and tone while still maintaining the character's cheeky R-rated attitude.
Rumors claim that past X-Men actors like Liev Schreiber's Sabretooth, Channing Tatum's Gambit, who was originally cast in a stand-alone movie but had it scrapped after Disney bought 20th Century Fox, and Toad, the mutant antagonist who first appeared in the 2000 film X-Men, played by Ray Park, will make cameo appearances in the movie.
Also speculated to feature is Laura/X-23, played by Dafne Keen. Notably, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, and James Marsden, who played Storm, Jean Grey, and Cyclops, respectively, in the original X-Men trilogy, may also return.
Although there are no confirmed details about the plot of Deadpool 3, the movie is anticipated to focus on the bond and complicated relationship between Deadpool and Wolverine. The leaked set photo, which was first shared by The Daily Mail, depicts Deadpool and Wolverine engaged in combat in the actual physical ruins of the 20th Century Fox logo.
According to additional rumors, Deadpool embarks on a quest to locate the "perfect wolverine" before coming face-to-face with Hugh Jackman's interpretation of the character, who is decked out in the iconic blue and yellow outfit from the comics. Due to Deadpool's newly discovered time-traveling talents, the plot may have multiverse themes, perhaps including the Time Variance Authority due to Deadpool's capacity to travel across timelines.
Last but not least, an enduring fan theory posits that Marvel Studios may be adapting the comic book storyline Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, in which a version of the merc with a mouth killed everyone in his world. Based on the lengthy list of potential appearances for Deadpool 3, the film may be telling a variation of that tale, and judging on the previously mentioned leaked set shot, this possibility might be true.
When it comes to the specifics of its story, Deadpool 3 is cloaked in secrecy. But the movie is an intriguing addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe because of its emphasis on the relationship between Deadpool and Wolverine, its engagement with the pre-established universe, and the potential for unexpected appearances.
Fans of the humorous anti-hero can expect more chimichangas and whatnots until the officials confirm anything else. The only other piece of official information at this time is Deadpool 3's May 3, 2024, release date. Check back for further updates as we get them.
