The Deadpool 3 trailer made its explosive debut during this year’s Super Bowl, marking a historic moment as it officially introduced Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Premiering amidst the high-energy showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, Deadpool 3 was one of the many high-profile releases debuting footage at Super Bowl LVIII.
Focusing heavily on the Merc with the Mouth, Marvel’s Deadpool 3 trailer offers just a glimpse of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling addition to the MCU. The sneak peek hints at a wild ride filled with multiverse shenanigans, featuring both beloved characters alongside the Time Variance Authority, a key element from Marvel’s Disney Plus series Loki.
Deadpool 3 recently wrapped up production, overcoming the challenges posed by the dual Hollywood strikes of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. With post-production now in full swing, the film is on track for a summer 2024 release. As Marvel’s sole release for the year, following delays of other anticipated titles like Captain America: Brave New World and Blade, Deadpool 3 stands out as an important release for Disney following the underwhelming reviews of the MCU’s Phase 4.
Who is working on Deadpool 3?
Deadpool 3 reunites Shawn Levy with Ryan Reynolds, following their successful collaboration on Free Guy and The Adam Project. Additionally, the film marks another reunion for Levy, this time with Hugh Jackman, whom he previously directed in Real Steel.
Deadpool 3 also holds special significance as it marks the character’s entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox. The film is set to maintain the R-rating that has been a hallmark of the Deadpool series, even under the Disney umbrella.
The Deadpool 3 script was developed by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writers behind the first two films in the series, with the Molyneux sisters having worked on an earlier draft. The cast includes Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Stefan Kapičić.
Deadpool 3 is currently scheduled to hit theaters on July 26, 2024. Stay tuned for the latest news about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
