Deadpool 3

[Hugh Jackman](https://www.vulture.com/2022/09/the-music-man-broadway-ending-run.html), who was said to have retired his [Wolverine](https://www.vulture.com/2022/07/taron-egerton-wants-wolverine-role-marvel-kevin-feige-meeting.html) character after [Logan](https://www.vulture.com/2017/03/movie-review-logan-is-so-so-so-dark.html), apparently just can’t stay away from the old crank for long. Because no one makes it out alive before getting absorbed into the [Feige-Borg](https://www.vulture.com/2022/07/marvel-phase-5-6-release-dates.html). It’s just like the old saying goes: You can take the boy out of the X-Men movies, but you can’t take the weapons-grade adamantium out of his bones. Jackman will be playing Wolverine “one more time,” according to Reynolds, in [Deadpool 3](https://www.vulture.com/2022/07/deadpool-logan-disney-plus-release-date.html), out September 6, 2024. On September 27, [Ryan Reynolds](https://www.vulture.com/2022/09/will-ferrell-ryan-reynolds-spirited-a-christmas-carol-apple.html) posted a video called “Deadpool Update” in which he apologizes for missing D23, explaining that he was hard at work because “his first appearance in the MCU obviously needs to feel special.

Fans have been waiting to hear more about Deadpool 3, which will not only be the latest entry in the Ryan Reynolds-starring superhero series but also will ...

Jackman's appearance in Deadpool 3 will see him making his debut in the MCU along with the titular Wade Wilson, though it is currently unknown the size that his role in the upcoming film will be. The video showed a montage of Reynolds as he talks about the introspection and process that was going into the creation of the film, as it was important that the character's debut in the MCU was special. The video ends with a rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" with the word "You" replaced with "Hugh" as the Deadpool logo appears, before it is cut through by three Adamantium claws, followed by the reveal of the September release date.

The third 'merc with the mouth' adventure, which will (at least somewhat) be part of the MCU, arrives 6.5 years after Deadpool 2.

Deadpool 2 earned $318 million domestic and $734 million worldwide on a $110 million budget, and an additional $6 million domestic and $45 million overseas (including $24 million in China) from the PG-13 Once Upon A Deadpool cut. I am hopeful that all parties will be smart enough to let Deadpool 3 stand on its own without resting on multiverse cameos or franchise-specific nostalgia (just as Multiverse of Madness was 90% ‘just’ a Doctor Strange sequel). It gives those indifferent to a third Deadpool a reason to care or be curious. I do wonder if the deal for Jackman involves a reigniting of the Greatest Showman IP, but bringing Jackman into Deadpool 3 is the very definition of an added value element. More importantly, they still want Logan to have monetizable value as ‘Wolverine’s last ride.’ Whether multiverse-hopping or non-continuity in-jokes, I’m guessing the Logan we meet in Deadpool 3 will either be an alternate universe version (maybe wearing the comics-accurate yellow spandex) or will merely exist between the continuities of Days of Future Past and Logan. Ryan Reynolds just dropped word, via an amusing self-mocking video, that A) Deadpool 3 (or whatever they end up calling it) will be opening theatrically on September 6, 2024 and B) will feature Hugh Jackman reprising as Wolverine.

There's been no word just yet on if we'll see other returning favorites like Josh Brolin as Cable or [Zazie Beetz as Domino](https://collider.com/will-domino-be-in-deadpool-3-zazie-beetz/), but chances are we'll see more than a few familiar faces joining Reynolds and Jackman in what's arguably the most exciting Marvel movie on the horizon right now. Then of course there's Hugh Jackman, playing Wolverine for what will be the tenth and possibly the final time (though the more multiversal characters we see, the better the odds we'll get a massive fight scene with all of them in Seven years later, we finally got that with the first [Deadpool](https://collider.com/tag/deadpool/) film in 2016, followed by [Deadpool 2](https://collider.com/tag/deadpool-2/) two years later in 2018.

Given the box office success of the first two movies, Deadpool 3 will more than likely be a theatrical release, with a streaming release on Disney+ and/or Hulu most likely to come roughly a month and a half after release. [Hugh Jackman](https://collider.com/tag/hugh-jackman) himself walks behind Reynolds as if nothing's going on. Yes, both of the Deadpool movies and every film in 20th Century's X-Men franchise are available for streaming on Disney+. The update starts with Reynolds going through some daily tasks like working on the computer and working out, and during some of them, he appears to be wearing a version of the Deadpool suit that is decently reminiscent of the character's black and gray X-Force suit from the comics, which is one of his most popular looks outside his standard suit. This meant something of an unceremonious end to the studio's X-Men franchise, with X-Men: Dark Pheonix (2019) and The New Mutants (2020) not getting much in the way of fanfare.

Ryan Reynolds confirms the X-Men star will reprise his most famous role in the action-comedy sequel.

Jackman first played Wolverine - a mutant with regenerative powers - in 2000's X-Men, and appeared in multiple films as the character. The video then cuts to a title card - "Coming Hughn" - before a Deadpool logo fades in and Wolverine's famous claw marks appear over the top of it. He tweeted the announcement with the caption "Hard keeping my mouth sewn shut about this one" - a reference to Deadpool's previous appearance in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Jackman is set to reprise his role as the popular X-Men character in the upcoming third instalment of the billion-dollar comic book franchise.

The forthcoming film is expected to be R-rated, i.e. Deadpool 3 is yet to begin production, and is set for release in September 2024. But we did have one idea.” I have nothing. And I… The third instalment in the franchise is a key one, as it will mark Deadpool's introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Reynolds posted a video on his social media last night confirming when Deadpool 3 is set to hit cinema screens.

The Deadpool franchise has proved a hit since the release of the first film in 2016. The new Deadpool film will also feature a former Marvel star as Hugh Jackman is set to return as Wolverine in the movie. Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that the Deadpool franchise has another film on the way.

Deadpool and Wolverine, while both Marvel characters, have never been part of the studios' wider cinematic universe (MCU), due to various licensing deals ...

"I've had to really search my soul on this one, his first appearance in the MCU obviously needs to feel special. It has been an incredible challenge that has forced me to reach down, deep inside, and I have nothing. He also appeared very briefly on a magazine cover in the second Deadpool film, but went on to rule out the chance of the pair teaming up in the future.

Ryan Reynolds has some big news: His Deadpool is not the only X-Man set to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wolverine is coming with him.

21 is any indication, this Marvel team-up is in the right hands. There are plenty of options to justify Jackman’s Wolverine now walking in the land of the Avengers. Is that the loophole that will bring Jackman to the MCU? By the time “Deadpool 2” came along in 2018, Reynolds had separated himself from an X-Men movie franchise that was withering in the shadows of what Marvel Studios was accomplishing with the Avengers. This is the multiverse era at Marvel Studios right now, where alternate universes and alternate versions of heroes is a thing. Disney’s Marvel Studios had become the dominant creator of movies based on Marvel comics characters, and Reynolds’s “Deadpool” movies over at Fox were the only thing that could stand up to their might. Let’s not forget that in 2018’s “Deadpool 2,” a post-credits scene featured Deadpool getting his hands on time travel technology. Jackman’s Wolverine died very dramatically and in R-rated fashion in James Mangold’s “Logan,” a movie meant to be a swan song for a beloved portrayal of one of the most popular comic book characters ever. In a social media video Tuesday, Reynolds made the announcement of Jackman’s return to the X-Men movie world — which was especially shocking considering the character had died in 2017’s “Logan.” Reynolds proclaims a case of extreme writers block while preparing for “Deadpool 3,” which is set to arrive in theaters Sept. He realizes he’s now in the superhero movie big leagues at Marvel Studios, and maybe not quite ready for the moment, but he says he did have one idea. He then spun off into his own “Deadpool” movie in 2016, creating a bloody and R-rated corner of superhero cinema, which was unheard of at the time. Yes, Reynolds always has a way of throwing in songs you’d never expect to hear in a superhero setting.

[James Mangold posted](https://twitter.com/mang0ld/status/1574907829239939072) a cheeky GIF of Wolverine being killed in his movie, which many interpreted as a sign of frustration over the character’s return, though he clarified his stance in a [follow-up tweet](https://twitter.com/mang0ld/status/1574932521875173377). The Deadpool 3 news comes the same day as a major departure from another Marvel project. [video uploaded to his Twitter](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1574865217141481477?s=20&t=pOZagP2cNBTQmwGFR1jPGg) shows Reynolds explaining that he had to miss the D23 Disney expo because he was too intensely focused on developing the third Deadpool film, which will be the character’s monumental first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In true Reynolds fashion, the video is set up as something emotional and triumphant—quintessential superhero stuff (well, barring him reading a Deadpool comic on what seems to be the toilet)—only for him to reveal that when it comes to new ideas for the franchise, he’s completely gassed. (The video also serves as a release date announcement: September 6, 2024.) [In a second video](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1575101936700772355?s=20&t=pOZagP2cNBTQmwGFR1jPGg), the two actors poked fun at questions about the in-universe logistics of the X-Men hero’s return, since Wolverine died in 2017’s Logan. But that film featured a much different version of Deadpool, one lacking the character's signature costume and whose mouth was eventually sewn shut, cutting off his endless stream of quippy, fourth-wall-breaking wisecracks.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman explain how Wolverine can be in Deadpool 3 if he died in Logan.

That’s actually the central gag of the video, and the actually only manage to answer one question: How is Wolverine going to be in Deadpool 3 if he dies at the end of [Ryan Reynolds announced that Hugh Jackman will appear as Wolverine in Deadpool 3](https://www.avclub.com/hugh-jackman-to-play-wolverine-in-deadpool-3-1849588203?rev=1664315160463), a thing that both of them have been trying to make happen for years (if only they had thought to just go ahead and do it rather than acting like someone was stopping them), and obviously everyone has a lot of questions about what that means. We know [Deadpool](https://www.avclub.com/film/reviews/Deadpool-2016) 3 will be part of the MCU, but does that mean Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine exists in the MCU?
