Deadpool 3 (2024) – Release Date, Trailer, Cast & More!
Actor Ryan Reynolds is so closely associated with the character of Deadpool that Disney had no choice but to give the green light to the first adult superhero film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. ‘Deadpool 3’ has taken longer than expected to come to fruition, but it has finally come to fruition, as the huge success of the first two installments has left Disney with no other choice.
Below, we’ll review everything we know so far about ‘Deadpool 3’. From the release date to the trailer, without forgetting all the news about its cast or its final title, which will finally be ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’.
When is Deadpool 3 released in theaters?
Marvel has confirmed that ‘Deadpool 3’ will be released in theaters on July 26, 2024. It is the big beneficiary of Disney’s massive release restructuring in the wake of the Hollywood strikes; other titles like ‘Avatar 3‘ ultimately won’t be released until later than planned, and it is also the only MCU film to be released that year.
The history
The main mystery is that Disney is having a hard time finding an approach for the film that can maintain its orientation for an adult audience while also fitting within this long-running and successful superhero universe.
‘Deadpool 3’: cast and protagonists
The first thing to be confirmed is that Reynolds will once again play Wade Wilson and his alter ego, Deadpool. It was the role that relaunched his career when he was going through a bad time after the huge failure of ‘Green Lantern’, and he is currently a highly sought-after actor, seen lately in titles such as ‘Free Guy’, ‘Red Alert’, or ‘The Adam Project’.
Then there are several old acquaintances of the saga that could reappear, with the returns of Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, the protagonist’s fiancée, Stefan Kapicic as Colossus, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Leslie Uggams, and Rob Delaney confirmed. The rest are more up in the air, with the return of TJ Miller being ruled out, and doubts remain as to whether Zazie Beetz and Josh Brolin will make at least a cameo.
The return that no one expected but has finally been confirmed is that of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, a character that seemed to have been left behind after the sensational ‘Logan’. In addition, among the new additions are the signings of Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen have been signed, the first to give life to Cassandra Nova, a mutant with telekinetic powers, and the second to play Mr. Paradox, a temporary agent of the TVA.
There are also strong rumors about a possible appearance by singer Taylor Swift, but none of that has been confirmed or denied at the moment. What is certain is that Sabretooth, Wolverine’s great enemy, will make an appearance in the film, played again by Tyler Mane, and that Dafne Keen will return as Laura.
The long road to reality
Fox had already planned to continue the franchise before Disney’s purchase of the studio caused a change of plans. At the time, an installment focused on the “X Force,” with Deadpool and Cable leading a group of mutant warriors specialized in carrying out missions that were not suited for the “X-Men.”.
The project was cancelled, and Disney’s entry led to focusing everything on a more traditional ‘Deadpool 3’, although the company was quick to assure that they would not tone down the adventures of the loudmouth mercenary. Reynolds himself confirmed at the end of 2019 that they were already working on it, but shortly after, he stated that it would still take a while to see it.
In late 2020, the project took a huge step forward with the hiring of Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin (‘Bob’s Burgers’ ) to write the script, while Kevin Feige highlighted in early 2021 that the project was progressing at a good pace but that filming would have to wait until at least 2022.
‘Deadpool 3: Filming
Filming for ‘Deadpool 3’ began on May 22, 2023, in London, but in the summer—July 14, to be exact—it had to be halted as a result of the Hollywood strikes. Filming finally resumed on November 22 and ended on January 24, 2024, something that Ryan Reynolds celebrated by releasing the image you will find above these lines, as well as the following message:
The suit conceals blood. So does the sweat… But today, with the filming of Deadpool, it’s mostly tears. A huge and eternal thank you to the cast and crew of our film, who fought through the wind, rain, strikes, and Hugh Jackman, all under Shawn Levy’s unwavering direction.
I was able to make a movie with my best friends, and that doesn’t happen very often. See you on July 26th!
Director
Finally, the person chosen to direct ‘Deadpool 3’ is Shawn Levy, a director who has become Reynolds’ new right-hand man since they collaborated for the first time on ‘Free Guy’, took a while to repeat with ‘The Adam Project’ and now they do it again.
Prior to his successful collaborations with Reynolds, Levy made a name for himself with more family-oriented films such as ‘Night at the Museum’, ‘Real Steel’, or ‘The Interns’, although his first steps behind the camera came on the small screen, directing episodes of series such as ‘Lassie’ or ‘First Wave’. However, his best-known work on the small screen is ‘Stranger Things’, a series of which he has filmed eight episodes, including two of the highly anticipated fourth season.
The good news is that this time it will have a script signed by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, good experts in the franchise, since they already wrote the scripts for the two previous installments, the first one alone and the second with Reynols.
