Deadpool 3 Release Date
Filming for Deadpool 3 commenced in May 2023, only to face a temporary pause in July due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. However, the production wheels are back in motion, and the movie is scheduled for a much-anticipated release on July 26, 2024. The journey to this date has seen a series of shifts, from a fall 2024 schedule to a May 3, 2024, slot, finally settling on the current release date.
DP 3 Cast
Ryan Reynolds is back as the funny and outspoken Merc with a Mouth, and the cast just keeps getting better. Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine, despite his character dying in 2017’s Logan, blew fans away and it’s looking like this could be one of Marvel’s best movies! Emma Corrin, Matthew Macfadyen, Morena Baccarin, Stefan Kapicic, Brianna Hildebrand, Shioli Kutsuna, and Jennifer Garner as Elektra all make this an amazing ensemble, and it’s sure to be an amazing cinematic experience.
Movie Plot
We don’t know anything about what’s going to happen in Deadpool 3, which only makes us want it even more! Rhett Reese said it’s gonna be something like a fish out of water kind of thing, where Deadpool is put in a normal world and everything goes crazy. We’ve seen some pictures and heard some cast announcements, so it looks like it’ll be about the multiverse and could be the end of the Fox-Marvel universe. Plus, it’ll have Dogpool and some bad guy tied to Charles Xavier so it should be a wild ride!
Official Deadpool 3 Trailer
While director Shawn Levy has provided updates on the film’s progress, a trailer is yet to grace our screens. However, with half the film edited and visual effects underway, a teaser is expected in January 2024. The anticipation is building, and fans might have to exercise patience until February or March for the first official trailer.
How is Logan Not Dead? And is Deadpool 3 Set in The MCU?
The potential for Logan to come back is still a total mystery. It looks like Deadpool 3 is going the way of Spider-Man: No Way Home and including the multiverse concept, which means anything could happen when you move between alternate universes. This gives the filmmakers the chance to bring back familiar Marvel characters, like Wolverine, and make up all kinds of stories.
Who is Directing Deadpool 3 and is it R-rated?
Shawn Levy, known for collaborations with Ryan Reynolds on projects like Free Guy and The Adam Project, takes the directorial reins for Deadpool 3. In an interview with Collider, Levy emphasizes the film’s orientation toward an adult audience, expressing enthusiasm for the project’s development and commitment. Addressing concerns about the shift into the family-friendly MCU, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Marvel head Kevin Feige reassure fans that Deadpool 3 will maintain its R-rating. This commitment ensures the preservation of the franchise’s trademark blend of graphic violence and profanity, staying true to the essence of the first two films.
Issues With Leaks and Fans’ Excitement
As expected for a high-profile film, Deadpool 3 has fallen victim to leaks, creating challenges for the cast and crew. Ryan Reynolds himself addressed the issue, urging restraint in sharing images before they are ready. While leaks may persist, the hope is to preserve the magic for the finished film and the big screen. As per fans’ excitement, Fandango’s declaration of Deadpool 3 as one of the most anticipated movies of 2024 speaks volumes.
The first two films already gave us a great start, and Deadpool 3 could be the biggest one of the trilogy, possibly even raking in a billion dollars. As the MCU is in a bit of a tricky place right now, Deadpool 3 could be the movie that really saves the day for them, providing fans with cameos, jokes, and an epic story.
