Summary
- Deadpool 3, featuring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, is set to be the only MCU movie released in theaters this year, and fans can expect R-rated, foul-mouthed violence in its long-awaited debut.
- Ryan Reynolds celebrated the completion of filming by sharing a close-up shot of his Deadpool suit, praising the team and taking a playful jab at Jackman.
- With the movie in the can, anticipation is high for a first-look teaser, which may be released at the Super Bowl.
Ryan Reynolds has shared a new, if perhaps overly close, look at Deadpool 3 to celebrate the completion of filming on the highly anticipated MCU movie. After being delayed for months as a result of last year’s strikes, the final scenes are now in the can – which will come as a relief to those who are still trying to avoid set-leak images like they are playing a game of Floor is Lava.
Bringing back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Deadpool 3 is the only Marvel Cinematic Universe movie being released in theaters this year, but what a movie it is set to be. Having already delivered two massively successful movies in the Fox universe, Deadpool will now bring his own brand of R-rated, foul-mouthed violence to the formerly family-friendly franchise in a long overdue MCU debut.
In celebration of wrapping filming on the movie, Reynolds shared a gratuitous crotch shot of his Deadpool suit as he praised the team, and, of course, took a quick shot at his pal and costar Jackman. In his post, Reynolds said:
The suit hides the blood. Also sweat… But today, with Deadpool wrapping, it’s mostly tears. A giant and forever thanks to the cast and crew of our film who battled wind, rain, strikes and Hugh Jackman…all under the stalwart leadership of Shawn Levy. I got to make a movie with my closest pals and that doesn’t happen very often. See ya July 26th…
While details of the plot remain closely guarded, other than several leaked images as late as this past weekend, there have been plenty of theories and rumors about exactly how this installment of the Deadpool saga will go down.
MCU: Why Having Just One Movie (Deadpool 3) Release in 2024 Is a Great Idea
Is Deadpool 3 being the only 2024 MCU theatrical release going to turn the tide for the franchise?
Deadpool 3 is Guaranteed to be the MCU’s Biggest 2024 Movie
It is hard to imagine a Deadpool movie being a dud, but Ryan Reynolds’ third time out as the character cannot fail to be Marvel Studios’ highest grossing movie of the year – because it is the only movie of the year. With the movie in the can, there is a high expectation that a first-look teaser will be released at this year’s Super Bowl, and although it is not likely to give away too much right now, there is little doubt it will become a huge online hit as fans continue to clamor for as much Deadpool goodness as they can take.
So far, Marvel’s multiverse movies have been mostly a disappointment, with many promising so much but delivering very little. While Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home took some big steps into the idea of alternate realities, Deadpool 3 looks set to break more than just the fourth wall. With several Fox universe cameos expected, plenty of Deadpool vs Wolverine vs Deadpool vs Deadpool action to come, and who knows what other surprises that have not been leaked yet, all eyes are on July 26 when Deadpool 3 is finally unleashed in cinemas.
