Where is Deadpool 3? At a complete standstill like all major Hollywood productions. But good news could finally move the project forward.
Deadpool 3 had been filming for several weeks when, in July 2023, production was suspended. The reason ? Hollywood actors who joined the Hollywood screenwriters’ strike. From then on, union members were prohibited from working and traveling the globe to promote their projects. Which has also led to delays while waiting for a return to normal. And that’s almost the case, which is a pretty good sign for the film that will bring Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine.
When is Deadpool 3 released in cinemas in France?
When are the next Marvel films in theaters? Logically, The Marvels is being maintained for a French release on November 8, 2023. Which hardly enchants its director, Nia DaCosta, who is afraid of finding herself promoting it alone, without Brie Larson. For her, it really wouldn’t make sense as fans would come for the actress first. “I hope I don’t have to promote it alone. No one will come to see me. They’re all going to be like, “Where’s Brie Larson?” » (via CBR).
After The Marvels, it could be the turn of Deadpool 3 from May 3, 2024. Of all the new MCU feature films, it is the one that seems the most mastered since it had even brought forward its release date. But there are still things to film and the actors’ strike has not been lifted. However, according to lawyer Elsa Ramo, who represents the companies Imagine Entertainment and Skydance, the Marvel film will have priority.
“Priority seems to be given to projects that were almost ready, but were interrupted due to the strike. They must find a way to finish what has been started” (via Variety). And Deadpool 3 is in this category. There would in fact only be a few days of filming left for this episode. However, some strange information to concern fans: this opus has disappeared from the Disney calendar. A simple mistake or will the remaining takes take more time? The big-eared firm did not react to this.
A film that refuses to be ugly
Deadpool 3 will mark the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and Ryan Reynolds has even teased Kidpool. According to a rumor, actress Emma Corin, seen in the series The Crown, could play Cassandra Nova and be one of the main antagonists of the third film. But as long as there is no confirmation or a concrete source, be careful. Director Shawn Levy spoke officially to reassure spectators. It shouldn’t be a digital mush like some Marvel feature films of recent years, which were destroyed at this level by fans.
The director shot “the old-fashioned way” so to speak, with natural settings. Well, there should definitely be digital, but perhaps not excessively. “I didn’t want another Marvel movie shot on a set with a green screen and digital set extensions” he told Total Film Magazine.
If Deadpool 3 seems to be at the top of the pile of filming to be resumed, it is imperative that an agreement be reached between the producers’ alliance and SAG-AFTRA, the actors’ union, as was the case for the screenwriters . A new meeting has already been established, all that remains is as they say. If the two parties agree, production should start again very, very quickly, but the shooting should not be rushed. Given some criticism, it is better that Levy and his teams take the necessary time.
