The hotly anticipated arrival of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has stirred up quite a buzz, with fans catching their first glimpse of the anti-hero in his new suit on the set of Deadpool 3. This on-set revelation has fanned the flames of interest for the film, further stoked by the confirmation of Hugh Jackman’s reprisal of his iconic Wolverine role from the X-Men franchise.
The Daily Mirror recently released two snapshots featuring Reynolds in the midst of a high-octane car crash scene. It was, however, the new attire of the famed Merc with a Mouth that stole the limelight. Previous appearances of Deadpool had him garbed in more subdued tones, but this newly revealed costume hints at a much brighter aesthetic. Could it be the trickery of on-set lighting, or perhaps a conscious adjustment to blend with the more vivid color palette of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
As the concluding chapter of the trilogy, Deadpool 3 is shrouded in secrecy, with the plot tightly under wraps. Nonetheless, the introduction of Jackman’s Wolverine to the mix has generated an intense level of excitement that has comfortably filled the void left by the absence of concrete details. Fans will remember the poignant farewell of Jackman’s character in James Mangold’s Logan, where he laid down his life to save Dafne Keen’s X-23. But with the ever-expanding Multiverse Saga in the MCU, there’s an intriguing possibility that the Wolverine we see in Deadpool 3 might not be the same iteration from the X-Men series.
Who else is joining Deadpool 3’s cast?
The ensemble cast of Deadpool 3 is shaping up to be a reunion of familiar faces from previous installments, along with some notable additions. Besides Reynolds and Jackman, Leslie Uggams is set to reprise her role as Wade’s sharp-tongued roommate, Blind Al. Karan Soni will also be back as the delightfully shy taxi-driver Dopinder. Wade Wilson’s significant other, Vanessa, will once again be brought to life by Morena Baccarin. Vanessa was heartbreakingly killed off early in Deadpool 2, only to be resurrected through the mechanics of time travel.
The star-studded roster continues with the returns of Stefan Kapicic, Brianna Hildebrand, Shioli Kutsuna, and Rob Delaney. However, one familiar face missing from the line-up is TJ Miller, who appeared in the first two films but will not be returning for the third.
Shawn Levy, known for his directorial prowess, is at the helm of Deadpool 3. The script is a combined effort from Levy, Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Wendy Molyneux, Paul Wernick, and Lizzie Molyneux. The much-anticipated Deadpool 3 will hit the big screen on May 4, 2024, promising a fusion of intense action, wry humor, and Marvel’s trademark grand storytelling.
Conclusion
With the excitement over Deadpool’s new costume and the MCU integration, coupled with Hugh Jackman’s surprise addition to the cast, Deadpool 3 is shaping up to be a cinematic event that promises to defy expectations and deliver a thrilling conclusion to the Deadpool trilogy. Amid all the anticipation and secrecy, one thing is certain: May 4, 2024, will be a date to mark in bold on every Marvel fan’s calendar.
