Filming is underway on Marvel Studios Deadpool 3. While the studio has been tight lipped about the project, rumors have been swirling the internet. Well, thanks to some new set phots we may have an idea about one rumor.
The Mirror UK has obtained the first set photos for the project featuring Ryan Reynolds in what appears to be a new suit. It also looks like he is in a forest. Now, I know forests could mean anything but Logan had a forest scene as did X-2. While we know Hugh Jackman is back as Wolverine, the big rumor is other character’s from X-Men films will appear.
Other Deadpool veterans returning for the threequel, as previously reported, include Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, Morena Baccarin, and Stefan Kapicic, who respectively portray Deadpool’s cab driver sidekick Dopinder, his roommate Blind Al, his fiancée Vanessa — who in the sequel was killed and then revived — and the metallic mutant Colossus. Comedian Rob Delaney is also back as Peter.
The Crown‘s Emma Corrin, and Succession‘s Matthew Macfadyen. Channing Tatum is rumored to appear as Gambit, a role he has been circling for a decade. Owen Wilson is also returning as Mobius from the Loki series.
Currently, it’s unclear if the film will follow the continuity – or at least have the main character remember the continuity – from the first two films, or if this will be a soft reboot of sorts. Considering that these characters are appearing in the film, there may be a chance this isn’t a soft reboot after all. There are rumors that Mobius and the TVA will appear to go after Deadpool for the time traveling he did at the end of Deadpool 2.
The UNTITLED DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE FILM, or whatever it winds up being called, is set to be directed by Shawn Levy (Free Guy, The Adam Project). Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick return to the franchise to write. Kevin Feige will produce. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 3, 2024.
