Look, I get it. After that killer post-credits scene in Deadpool 2 where Cable’s time device gets used, you're probably scratching your head thinking: will there be another Deadpool movie? Especially with all the Disney-Fox merger chaos. Let me cut through the noise – yes, absolutely. But it’s more complicated than a chimichanga recipe.
The Official Confirmation: Deadpool 3 is Happening
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige dropped the big news at CinemaCon 2022: Wade Wilson’s coming to the MCU. Ryan Reynolds confirmed it too with his classic flair – via a video where he literally barged into Hugh Jackman’s house to announce his return as Wolverine. That viral moment wasn’t just hype; filming wrapped in January 2024 after delays from Hollywood strikes.
My take? I was skeptical when Disney bought Fox. Would they water down our R-rated merc? But seeing test screening leaks (more on that later), I’m eating my words. Feige gets Deadpool’s essence.
Deadpool 3 Production Timeline

| Script Development | Completed | Late 2022 |
| Principal Photography | Finished | May 2023-Jan 2024 |
| Post-Production | Ongoing | Until July 2024 |
| Theatrical Release | Confirmed | July 26, 2024 |
What We Know About Deadpool 3
Directed by Shawn Levy (Free Guy), this isn't just "another Deadpool movie" – it’s Marvel’s first R-rated film and a multiverse game-changer. Plot leaks suggest Wade’s pulled from his quiet life by the TVA (yep, Loki’s time cops) to fix timeline breaches.
Confirmed Cast & Characters
| Actor | Role | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Ryan Reynolds | Wade Wilson / Deadpool | Confirmed |
| Hugh Jackman | Logan / Wolverine | Confirmed (NOT from Logan timeline) |
| Morena Baccarin | Vanessa | Leaked set photos |
| Brianna Hildebrand | Negasonic Teenage Warhead | Reynolds hinted at return |
| Matthew Macfadyen | TVA Agent | Officially cast |
Spotted on set: Pyro from X-Men, Dogpool (yes, a dog Deadpool), and rumors of massive cameos. One insider claimed 60+ variants appear. Personally? I’ll believe it when I see Channing Tatum as Gambit.
Will Deadpool 3 Be R-Rated?
This kept fans up at night. Kevin Feige settled it: "It’s rated R, we’re not recutting." Ryan Reynolds even tweeted a blood-red "PG-13" logo crossed out. Expect:
- Creative cursing (enough to make sailors blush)
- Graphic violence – leaks show Wolverine decapitating foes
- Fourth-wall breaks mocking Disney itself
Why does this matter? Fox almost sanitized Deadpool 2. Remember those PG-13 re-shoots? Ugh. Merc needs his edge.
How Deadpool Fits Into the MCU Timeline
Big question: how’s a foul-mouthed mutant entering the squeaky-clean MCU? Through the multiverse backdoor. The TVA recruits Deadpool to fix "incursions" – basically cleaning up Fox’s old X-Men timeline mess. Smart move, Marvel.
Will There Be Another Deadpool Movie After This One?
According to Reynolds’ LinkedIn (yes, seriously), he’s signed for 6 more Marvel films. Leaks suggest Deadpool 3 sets up Secret Wars. So yeah, expect Wade to stick around.
Release Date & Where to Watch
Mark your calendars:
- Theatrical Release: July 26, 2024 (no delays announced)
- Streaming: Disney+ (likely late 2024/early 2025)
Fun fact: This is Marvel’s only 2024 movie after Captain America 4 got pushed. All eyes are on Wade.
Rumor Control: Fact vs Fiction
Let’s bust myths:
- "It’s a Wolverine movie" → False. Jackman’s co-lead, but Reynolds confirmed Wade’s the star.
- "Deadpool kills the Fox universe" → Partially true. Set leaks show destroyed Fox studio logos.
- "Taylor Swift plays Dazzler" → Unconfirmed (but Reynolds is trolling hard about it).
Why Deadpool 3 Matters for Marvel
Phase 5’s been rocky. Quantumania flopped. The Marvels bombed. Marvel needs a win, and Deadpool’s their ace. My comic shop buddy says pre-orders for Deadpool merch tripled since the trailer. Smart move leaning into rated-R chaos.
| Marvel Phase 5 Film | Box Office (Global) | Rotten Tomatoes |
|---|---|---|
| Ant-Man 3 | $476M | 46% |
| Guardians 3 | $845M | 82% |
| The Marvels | $206M | 62% |
| Deadpool 3 (Projected) | $800M-$1B | N/A |
