Has Deadpool 3 wrapped up filming? Ryan Reynolds gives encouraging update

Deadpool 3 is currently one of the most anticipated Marvel movies, or rather, one of the most anticipated movies of 2024. Starring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and bringing back Hugh Jackman for another round as Wolverine, this movie may be the answer to all of the MCU's problems in recent years.

The film, which faced shooting delays because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, went back to its schedule months ago. Earlier today, January 24, Ryan Reynolds, who also produces the film, revealed in an Instagram post that the film has officially wrapped filming. This comes as great news to the fans of the franchise, with the affirmation that the film will come to theaters in time.

After going through multiple date changes, including one that moved the film's release window to an earlier date, Deadpool 3 is now all set to release on July 26, 2024.

What did Ryan Reynolds say about Deadpool 3 wrapping production?

Ryan Reynolds, who is renowned for his humor, took a rather emotional take on this particular announcement, especially because it took a lot of effort for the film to complete shooting amidst various strikes and an industry that was still recovering from COVID-19.

Ultimately, the film wrapped up on January 24, 2024, leaving the rest to post-production work, which should conclude soon now.

Ryan Reynolds wrote,

"The suit hides blood. Also sweat… But today, with Deadpool wrapping, it’s mostly tears. A giant and forever thanks to the cast and crew of our film who battled wind, rain, strikes and @thehughjackman… all under the stalwart leadership of @slevydirect. I got to make a movie with my closest pals and that doesn’t happen very often. See ya July 26th…"

This closes one of the bigger worries for Marvel fans, who have waited a long time to see a great MCU movie. This Deadpool will also integrate the fourth-wall-breaking mercenary into the MCU.
