Watch: Deadpool 3: All we know about Ryan Reynolds’ anticipated film

The Merc with a Mouth is back for another round of action, comedy and fourth-wall breaking in Deadpool 3, the third and possibly final installment of the Deadpool film franchise. Ryan Reynolds will reprise his role as the irreverent anti-hero, who will join forces with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine for the first time on the big screen. Here’s everything we know so far about Deadpool 3, from the release date to the cast to the plot.

## Release date

Deadpool 3 is scheduled to hit theaters on November 8, 2024, according to IMDb. The film will be part of Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), following the acquisition of 20th Century Fox by Disney in 2019. This means that Deadpool will finally share the same universe as the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy and other Marvel heroes.

## Cast

Ryan Reynolds will once again don the red and black suit as Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, the wisecracking mercenary with a healing factor and a penchant for breaking the fourth wall. Reynolds has been involved in the development of the film since its inception, and has said that this will be his last time playing the character.

Hugh Jackman will also return as Logan, aka Wolverine, the iconic mutant with adamantium claws and a gruff attitude. Jackman and Reynolds have confirmed that Wolverine will appear in Deadpool 3, despite the character’s death in 2017’s Logan. The creative team has assured fans that Logan’s story arc will not be compromised by his appearance in Deadpool 3.

Other cast members include Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Wade’s girlfriend who was killed in Deadpool 2 but resurrected in a post-credits scene; Matthew Macfadyen as Cable, a time-traveling soldier from the future who teamed up with Deadpool in Deadpool 2; and Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio, a mutant with electrical powers and Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s girlfriend.

## Plot

The plot of Deadpool 3 is still under wraps, but we can expect it to be a wild ride full of humor, action and meta-references. The film will likely explore Deadpool’s integration into the MCU, and his relationship with Wolverine, who he has been teasing and trolling for years. The film may also address some of the loose ends from Deadpool 2, such as Cable’s future, Vanessa’s fate and Deadpool’s status as a hero or a villain.

Deadpool 3 will be directed by Shawn Levy, who previously worked with Reynolds on Free Guy, a comedy about a video game character who becomes self-aware. The script will be written by Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, who are best known for their work on Bob’s Burgers. Reynolds has praised their work on Deadpool 3, saying that they have captured the voice and tone of the character perfectly.

It is one of the most anticipated films of 2024, and fans are eager to see how Reynolds will bring his beloved character to life one last time. With Jackman joining him as Wolverine, and Levy at the helm, Deadpool 3 promises to be a hilarious and thrilling adventure that will make history in the MCU.
