Deadpool 3 could revive the faltering MCU, says X-Men director

Jan 31, 2024 10:56 AM

In anticipation of Marvel's recovery, X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn has expressed high hopes for Deadpool 3, hinting that the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine alongside Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool could be the "jolt" the MCU needs. Deadpool 3, which recently completed filming ahead of its July 26 release, is expected to reinvigorate the franchise following the underperformance of recent Marvel titles like The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. While details about the film remain sparse, Vaughn's enthusiasm suggests an exciting dynamic between the titular character and Wolverine, potentially pivotal in reviving interest in the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe.

What is the release date for Deadpool 3?

The release date for Deadpool 3 is scheduled for July 26, 2024.

Deadpool 3 is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and marks the third installment in the Deadpool series, which gained popularity for its irreverent humor and breaking of the fourth wall, a stark contrast to other superhero films. Ryan Reynolds has developed a strong following through his portrayal of Deadpool, whose previous two films have been both commercial and critical successes. The addition of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine brings together two fan-favorite characters, especially since Jackman had previously retired from the role after 2017's Logan. The excitement around this crossover promises to bring an edge and potentially revitalize the Marvel franchise with the unique style that Deadpool is known for.

The combo of Jackman's gritty Wolverine and Reynolds' off-the-cuff Deadpool could be just the kind of shake-up Marvel needs to get its groove back. It's like mixing peanut butter and jalapeño – unexpected, but it could be surprisingly awesome if done right.
