Hopefully it won’t be too much longer before more glimpses at the upcoming blockbuster are released. Fans are anxious to see how the film fits in with both the X-Men film franchise and the separate Marvel Cinematic Universe. But it’s expected that the Multiverse will play a large part in how Deadpool travels from one continuity to another. It also explains why he’d be running around with a variant of Wolverine, as Hugh Jackman is attached to return as his own iconic X-Men character as well.
The upcoming film has been in development for several years now. And, despite the ongoing writers strike, it looks like Deadpool 3 is coming together quite nicely. And though some fans still have their worries about the production, we can only hope that the likes of Reynolds and Jackman will help keep the project on track.
Shawn Levy is directing Deadpool 3 from a screenplay written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux previously worked on the film’s screenplay.
The upcoming film stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Brianna Hildebrand, and Shioli Kutsuna, in addition to returning cast members Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, Morena Baccarin, Stefan Kapicic and Rob Delaney. Newcomers include Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen.
Deadpool 3 is currently scheduled to hit theaters on May 3, 2024. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the highly-anticipated blockbuster as we have them.
