upcoming movies 2024 Deadpool 3

The untitled Deadpool film,^[1] commonly known as Deadpool 3, is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Deadpool, produced by Marvel Studios and Maximum Effort, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is intended to be the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and a sequel to Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). The film is being directed by Shawn Levy from a script by the writing team of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick as well as Zeb Wells, Ryan Reynolds, and Levy. Reynolds stars as Wade Wilson / Deadpool alongside Hugh Jackman, Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, and Jennifer Garner.

Development on a third Deadpool film began at 20th Century Fox by November 2016, but was placed on hold after the company's acquisition by Disney was completed in March 2019. Control of the character was then given to Marvel Studios, who began developing a new film with Reynolds. It integrates Deadpool with the MCU and is expected to retain the R rating of the previous films, the first MCU film to have such a rating. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin joined in November 2020 to write the script, with Reese and Wernick returning from the previous films to rewrite it by March 2022. Levy was hired to direct then. Jackman decided to reprise his role as Wolverine from the X-Men films in August 2022, followed by additional casting in early 2023. Filming began that May in London and at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England, with additional filming in Norfolk. Filming was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, and following the conclusion of the strike in November, filming is expected to resume before the end of the month. Filming is also expected to occur in Vancouver, Canada.

Deadpool 3 is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 26, 2024, as part of Phase Five of the MCU.
