Deadpool 3 Release Date At Risk

The Deadpool 3 release date is at risk confirms director Shawn Levy, so anything you may have heard about the date being a sure thing isn’t true.

August actually saw Disney NOT mention the Deadpool 3 release date in an earnings call while discussing its upcoming September 2023 through June 2024 films.

The current Deadpool 3 release date set by Marvel is May 3, 2024.

Update: It is reported there will be a delay.

What does Shawn Levy say?

Now Shawn Levy speaks with The Wrap while promoting the release of his Netflix series, All the Light We Cannot See, and comments on Deadpool 3, which has paused production due to the actors and writers strikes.

“I wish I knew. I don’t even know if we officially have [a release date]. I know we were gonna be May 3,” Levy said. “Certainly, the actors’ strike and the long pause in production have put that release date in true risk. We’ve shot half the movie. I’ve edited half the movie. We’re dying to get back to work and get this movie out next year.”

Regarding the strikes, the writers strike recently ended, so it is hoped the actors strike will end soon. I’ve been told it could last until at least the end of the year, so that would give Shawn Levy only a couple of months to finish filming the remaining half of Deadpool 3 and get the VFX finished in time for the May 3 release.

What is Deadpool 3 about?

Nothing much is known about Deadpool 3 and even the official title hasn’t been released.

What is known is only the cast as Ryan Reynolds returns as the Merc With A Mouth and Hugh Jackman is back from the Fox X-Men movies as Wolverine.

Additional cast members are said to include Emma Corrin as the villain, the psychopathic twin sister of Professor X; Leslie Uggams is back as Blind Al; Morena Baccarin returns as Vanessa; Rob Delaney as Peter; Stefan Kapicic as Colossus; Karan Soni as Dopinder; Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio.

There are tons of rumors surrounding the film with the latest offering the flick directly leads into Avengers: Secret Wars which is now said to be an MCU reboot.

Owen Wilson as Mobius from the Loki series is also said to be featured in Deadpool 3, possibly hot on the heels of Deadpool who has been messing up the Fox Marvel timeline and universe.

Patrick Stewart is rumored back as Professor Xavier along with Halle Berry as Storm and Ian McKellan as Magneto, with lots of surprises in store.
