Newly leaked set pics reveal the first look of Ryan Reynolds in Marvel Studiosâ Deadpool 3.
Per The Daily Mail, candid pics from the London set show Reynolds back in the Merc with the Mouthâs signature red and black costume. The pics show Reynolds without the Deadpool mask in the middle of a wrecked minivan in the woods. Additionally, Reynoldsâ stunt double was seen wearing the mask âminus the eyes.â There was no sign of Hugh Jackman on set, however.
Details on the plot are unknown beyond the fact that Deadpool 3 will be a â48 HRS.-style buddy movie.â Reynolds teased that Jackmanâs Wolverine will be completely different from the one established in the Fox X-Men franchise. âWeâve wanted to do this for decades⌠itâs weirdly the perfect time,â said Reynolds. âI was just pestering him like a gnat over the last many years. I believe in timing, as much as hard work and luck and all those intersections that are supposed to meet. Timingâs the big one. I think he was ready. I think he was excited.â
In addition to Reynolds and Jackman, the movie is rumored to involve the Time Variance Authority (TVA), previously established in the 2021 series Loki on Disney+. Reports suggest potential characters from Fox-produced Marvel movies may appear in Deadpool 3 including X-Men stars Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, and James Marsden. Additionally, Channing Tatum is rumored to appear as Gambit. The actorâs planned stand-alone movie at Fox was halted following the Disney-Fox merger in 2019.
Directed by Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) and written by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells, Deadpool 3 is the latest installment in the foul-mouth mutantâs trilogy and the first to be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film marks the long-awaited pairing of Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool with Hugh Jackman making his return as Wolverine since his last appearance in 2017âs Logan. Deadpool franchise regulars Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, Morena Baccarin, Stefan Kapicic, Rob Delaney, Brianna Hildebrand, and Shioli Kutsuna are set to reprise their roles. Newcomer to the franchise Matthew Macfadyen is reportedly set to play a TVA agent named Paradox.
Deadpool 3 is currently slated to open in theaters on May 3, 2024.
