Get ready for the chimichangas to start sizzling again! Deadpool 3 is set to rise from the ashes of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA strikes. To celebrate, Ryan Reynolds confirmed the news by introducing a new addition to the Deadpool family!
According to Deadline, Deadpool 3 is getting ready to begin filming soon with production gearing up for a January restart. The Shawn Levy-helmed anti-hero extravaganza is primed to re-enter the cinematic battleground early next year, joining the ranks of other eagerly anticipated films like Gladiator 2 and Beetlejuice 2 that are also marching forward.
But when can we expect to see Deadpool 3 in theaters? Ryan Reynolds dropped a hint on his official X account, and he also confirmed that the third Deadpool film will introduce the adorable Dogpool.
It certainly looks like Deadpool 3 is officially coming next year, but will the sequel keep its previous May release or could it get moved down to a later date?
The Trials and Tribulations of the Deadpool 3 Release Date
The WGA strike, igniting in May and extinguishing the production flames on July 14, 2023, left Deadpool 3 dangling at the halfway mark. Now, with the curtain lifting on the strikes, the film is poised to sprint towards completion. The tantalizing prospect of a potential May or July 2024 release is now within grasp, defying earlier concerns that the ongoing strike might derail the original plans.
Disney recently threw a curveball, announcing a new premiere date on May 4, 2024, despite Shawn Levy's apprehensions. The director, uncertain about the official release date, hoped for a May 3 debut, but the actors' strike and the production hiatus cast a shadow of doubt over this timeline. With the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike, the film's release date stands on firmer ground, either adhering to the May 4 schedule or potentially embracing a July 26, 2024, release. The chimichanga feast is back on the menu, and Deadpool aficionados might not have to wait much longer for the next cinematic installment in the irreverent saga.
Deadpool 3 will bring back Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, and Jennifer Garner as Elektra Natchios. The sequel's premise is still a huge mystery but the film is still expected to premiere in theaters on May 3, 2024.
