After years of speculating, in 2022, Marvel Studios confirmed that Deadpool would officially join the MCU for a third installment of the R-rated comic book franchise at the start of Phase Six. This would mark the first official character of the Fox X-Men universe joining the MCU (although Patrick Stewart as a variant Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness kinda counts too, we suppose).
As the SAG-AFTRA strike draws to a close, actors are once again teasing their upcoming movies. And Ryan Reynolds wasted no time in introducing us to a brand new member of Deadpool 3, Dogpool. Dogpool will be a new addition to the MCU, but he hails from Marvel comics. Dogpool is, of course, an alternate-reality version or variant of Deadpool. This pooch hails from Earth-103173, and his backstory is a sad one. Dogpool started his life as a dog named Wilson, but was captured by scientists and forced to undergo experiments that resembled those conducted in Earth-616’s Weapon X’s program. Dogpool is eventually recruited by Earth-616’s Deadpool to join the Deadpool Corps, a team of Deadpool variants from across realities and universes. We suppose that gives us a hint about what Deadpool 3 might entail.
Reynolds’ post also teases the possibility of a release date shift, as it indicates the movie will arrive in “summer 2024.” Deadpool 3 is currently slated for May 2024, which isn’t exactly summer, although no official release date delay has been announced.
But for now, we’re content to just follow Dogpool on Instagram.
Here is everything we know so far about Deadpool 3.
Title
Right now, everyone is calling the film Deadpool 3. However, for superpowered mercenary Wade Wilson’s first entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at least the first official entry, we think they may choose to give it a more creative title.
Deadpool 3‘s Plot
The plot of Deadpool 3 remains a mystery. All we know is that Hugh Jackman is returning as Wolverine, and that it takes place before the feral X-Man’s death in Logan. In fact, Jackman has confirmed that time travel will be involved in the threequel in a big way.
As most folks know by now, Deadpool’s third solo film will reunite him with his X-Men Origins: Wolverine co-star. Deadpool and Wolverine will work together, although they have made it very clear that these two characters “hate each other.” It will not be a love-fest in this story. But the fact that Deadpool 3 is smack in the middle of the Multiverse Saga should give us all a clue as to what’s going to go down, and probable multiversal shenanigans will ensue.
Deadpool 3‘s Cast
We know Hugh Jackman will return, along with the very obvious Ryan Reynolds. Here’s who else we know about: Karan Soni, cab driver Dopinder, Leslie Uggams, Emma Corrin, and Matthew Macfadyen. In exciting news, Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic are reprising their roles as Vanessa and Colossus in Deadpool 3. So are Rob Delaney’s Peter, Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), and Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio). Jennifer Garner’s Elektra from the 2003 Daredevil Marvel Fox movie is also reported to reprise her role in this MCU film.
Behind the Scenes
Deadpool 3‘s director for this third outing will be Shawn Levy, most recently known for his work on Stranger Things. This would be a reunion for Levy and Reynolds, as the pair previously worked together on the movie Free Guy. Levy is also known for the time travel movie The Adam Project.
On the writing side of things are Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, writers for the popular animated series Bob’s Burgers. The writers for the first two Deadpool films, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, are also contributing to the third film’s screenplay, as is Ryan Reynolds himself.
Deadpool 3 Release Date
Deadpool 3 will arrive on May 3, 2024.
Originally published on January 4, 2023.
