'''''Deadpool''''' is a 2024 superhero film based on the Marvel comics character of the same name from Marvel Comics. Produced by [[Mob Productions]], [[Ryan Reynolds]], and [[Freddie Goodwin]] and distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], it is the [[List of Mob Cinematic Universe films|first film]] in the [[Mob Cinematic Universe]] (MCU). It was directed by [[Freddie Goodwin]] and written by the team including Goodwin, [[Benjamin Knowles]], [[Sara Case]], and [[Patrick Reid]]. It stars Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson as he battles old enemies to keep the world safe from danger.  
'''''Deadpool & Wolverine''''', later advertised simply as '''''Deadpool''''', is a 2024 American [[superhero film]] based on the [[Marvel Comics]] characters [[Deadpool]] and [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]], produced by [[Marvel Studios]], [[Maximum Effort]], and [[21 Laps Entertainment]], and distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]]. It is [[List of Mob Cinematic Universe films|the 1st film]] in the [[Mob Cinematic Universe]] (MCU) and a sequel to ''[[Deadpool (film)|Deadpool]]'' (2016) and ''[[Deadpool 2]]'' (2018). The film is directed by [[Shawn Levy]] from a screenplay he wrote with [[Ryan Reynolds]], [[Rhett Reese]], [[Paul Wernick]], and [[Zeb Wells]]. Reynolds and [[Hugh Jackman]] star as [[Wade Wilson (film character)|Deadpool]] and [[Logan (film character)|Wolverine]], respectively, alongside [[Emma Corrin]] and [[Matthew Macfadyen]]. In the film, the [[Time Variance Authority (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Time Variance Authority]] (TVA) pulls Deadpool from his quiet life and sets him on a mission with Wolverine that will change the history of the MCU.


During production on ''Deadpool'' ''2'' (2018), a reboot for the MCU was being planned by Mob Productions with Goodwin attached to write the screenplay. In June 2021, Reynolds was confirmed to be reprising his role as Wade Wilson/Deadpool in the film.
Development on a third ''Deadpool'' film began at [[20th Century Fox]] by November 2016, but was placed on hold after the studio was [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|acquired by Disney]] in March 2019. Control of the character was transferred to Marvel Studios, which began developing a new film with Reynolds. It integrates Deadpool with the MCU and retains the [[R-rating (Motion Picture Association)|R rating]] of the previous films, making it the first MCU film to have such a rating. [[Molyneux sisters|Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin]] joined in November 2020 as writers. Reese and Wernick returned from the previous films for rewrites by March 2022, when Levy was hired as director. They, along with Reynolds and Wells, had difficulty figuring out the film's story until Jackman decided to reprise his role as Wolverine from Fox's ''[[X-Men (film series)|X-Men]]'' films in August 2022. Filming began in May 2023 at [[Pinewood Studios]] in England, with additional filming in [[Norfolk]] and at Bovingdon Film Studios. Production was suspended in July due to the [[2023 SAG-AFTRA strike]], but resumed in November and [[Wrap (filmmaking)|wrapped]] in January 2024. The film's title was revealed a month later.


''Deadpool'' premiered in Westwood, Los Angeles, on February 1, 2024, and was released in the United States on February 8, as the first film in [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]] of the MCU. The film received postive reviews from critics. The film grossed $560 million and was a box-office success. A sequel is in development.
''Deadpool & Wolverine'' premiered on February 2, 2024, at the [[David H. Koch Theater]] in [[New York City]], and was released across the United States on February 8, 2024, as part of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]] of the MCU. The film received positive reviews from critics. Following the films release, [[Mob Productions]] started marketing the film simply as '''''Deadpool'''''; the film being "retitled" was part of the plan according to [[Freddie Goodwin]]. A sequel, ''[[Deadpool 2 (2026 film)|Deadpool 2]]'', is intended to be released on May 21, 2026.


== Plot ==
== Plot ==
The film opens with Deadpool reluctantly teaming up with a young, tech-savvy mutant, Echo, to stop a mysterious cyber-terrorist, Codebreaker, from unleashing a powerful virus capable of controlling mutants. Echo, possessing the ability to communicate with and control technology, is the key to stopping Codebreaker. Deadpool, while initially dismissive of Echo, gradually comes to respect her skills.
In 2018, Wade Wilson uses Cable's time-traveling device to travel from his timeline, Earth-10005, to Earth-616, the "Sacred Timeline", where he meets Happy Hogan and requests to join the Avengers, but he is refused.
 
Six years later, Wade has retired from being the masked mercenary known as Deadpool and began to work as a used car salesman after breaking up with his girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle. During his birthday party, the Time Variance Authority (TVA) captures Wade and brings him to Mr. Paradox, who offers him a place on Earth-616. However, Paradox also reveals that Wade's timeline is deteriorating as a result of the death of James "Logan" Howlett, who is revealed to be the timeline's "anchor being." Wade steals Paradox's TemPad to travel the multiverse and find a variant of Logan to save his timeline.


As Deadpool and Echo navigate various challenges, including battles with hired mercenaries and navigating through high-tech security, they uncover that Codebreaker is actually a manipulated pawn. The real mastermind is a renowned scientist, Dr. Cassandra Knox, who aims to harness mutant powers to create an army of super-soldiers. Knox captures Echo, forcing Deadpool to seek help from an unexpected source – his old rival, Cable.
After encountering various Logan variants, Wade takes one back to the TVA, where he learns that this particular Logan destroyed his universe before Paradox prunes them both into the Void. Wade and Logan fight before they and Johnny Storm are captured and sent to Cassandra Nova, whom Logan identifies as the twin sister of the X-Men leader Charles Xavier. Upon arriving at Nova's lair, she demonstrates her power to manipulate people's minds and explains her agreement with the TVA to stay in the Void as a gang leader. She then kills Johnny and tries to puzzle Wade with the feeling of not being needed before Alioth appears. Wade and Logan escape before Alioth can consume them.


Together, Deadpool, Cable, and a group of misfit mutants launch an assault on Knox's fortress. In a climactic battle, Echo breaks free and uses her powers to disable the virus. Deadpool confronts Knox, leading to a fight where Knox reveals her personal vendetta against mutants due to a tragic past. Deadpool, in a rare moment of empathy, convinces Knox to stand down, highlighting the potential for harmony between humans and mutants.
Following their escape, Logan and Wade meet a variant of Wade, Nicepool, who gives them a car so that they can travel to the Void's borderlands to join the resistance against Nova and her forces, but Logan chastises Wade for hiding the fact that he is unable to fix Logan's timeline. Arriving at the borderlands, Wade and Logan meet the resistance members Elektra, Blade, Gambit, and Laura, nicknamed the "Others" by Wade. The Others want to team up with Wade and Logan to fight Nova, but Logan refuses to cooperate. However, he eventually relents after a conversation with Laura about his inability to save the X-Men in his universe. Wade, Logan, and the Others go to confront Nova, who has Logan mentally incapacitated, but Wade places Juggernaut's helmet on her to block her powers. Pyro shoots Nova and reveals himself as Paradox's sleeper agent assigned to kill her. Logan persuades Wade to remove the helmet to allow Nova to heal, and in exchange, Nova uses a sling ring from a Doctor Strange variant to open a portal for the duo to travel to Wade's timeline.


In the aftermath, Deadpool and Echo part ways amicably, with Echo set to use her abilities for good. Deadpool, now a bit more reflective, acknowledges the importance of alliances and the complexities of human-mutant relationships.
Upon arriving on Earth-10005, Wade and Logan find that Paradox is using the "Time Ripper," a device Paradox developed to mercy kill timelines, and which he plans to use on Wade's timeline without permission from his superior. Nova quickly learns this from the executed Pyro as she arrives through another portal and kidnaps Paradox. Wade and Logan battle the Deadpool Corps, an army of Deadpool variants coming from the portal, before Nova takes control of the Time Ripper to destroy all timelines as revenge for Paradox's betrayal. Paradox tells Wade and Logan that one can disrupt the power flow of the Time Ripper at the cost of their life. Using their bodies as conductors, Wade and Logan kill Nova and destroy the Time Ripper, while Hunter B-15 arrests Paradox.


In a surprising twist, the post-credits scene shifts to a cosmic entity, the Watcher, observing Earth from afar. The Watcher, intrigued by Deadpool's actions and the potential of mutants, hints at the significance of these events in the larger cosmic timeline. This scene sets the stage for future narratives, connecting Deadpool’s world to broader, more profound cosmic events, and teases the audience about what's to come in this expanded universe.
The Others are returned to their respective timelines upon Wade's request, while Logan is permitted to stay in Wade's timeline, which no longer deteriorates. Logan hopes for a change in his past, but B-15 tells him that his past is what makes him the anchor needed to save Wade's timeline, and there is no reason for further change. Logan chooses to retire and live a peaceful life. Before his departure, Wade takes Logan and Laura to meet his friends. Encouraged by Logan, Wade reconciles with Vanessa.

=== Background ===
After the success of ''[[Deadpool (film)|Deadpool]]'' (2016), [[20th Century Fox]] began developing two sequels. The third film was set to include the superhero team [[X-Force]].<ref name="UniversePlans" /> ''Deadpool'' director [[Tim Miller (director)|Tim Miller]] chose not to return for the sequels due to creative differences with star [[Ryan Reynolds]], and [[David Leitch]] was hired to direct ''[[Deadpool 2]]'' (2018) in November 2016. Fox was looking for another filmmaker to develop the third film.<ref name="LeitchDP2" /> In March 2017, ''Deadpool'' and ''Deadpool 2'' co-writer [[Rhett Reese]] said X-Force would be introduced in ''Deadpool 2'' before starring in a planned spin-off film that would launch "something bigger", separate from the third ''Deadpool'' film, which would be more personal.<ref name="ReeseMar2017" /> When the [[acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney]] was announced in December 2017, [[the Walt Disney Company]] CEO [[Bob Iger]] said Reynolds's [[Wade Wilson (film character)|Deadpool]] would be integrated with the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU). This was despite those films being rated [[PG-13 (Motion Picture Association)|PG-13]] and the ''Deadpool'' films being [[R rating (Motion Picture Association)|R-rated]].<ref name="DisneyFoxMCU" /> Iger said Disney was willing to make R-rated ''Deadpool'' films "as long as we let the audiences know what's coming" and said a "Marvel-R brand" could be created for characters like Deadpool.<ref name="DisneyMarvelR" /> In May 2018, Reynolds said a third ''Deadpool'' film may not be made due to the shift of focus to X-Force.<ref name="ReynoldsDP3Unsure" /> Reese and his writing partner [[Paul Wernick]] said a third film would happen after Reynolds took a break from the character and the X-Force film was released, similar to the MCU crossover film ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'' (2012) being released between ''[[Iron Man 2]]'' (2010) and ''[[Iron Man 3]]'' (2013).<ref name="May2018IGNReeseWernick" />
At the end of May 2018, Leitch expressed interest in returning for another ''Deadpool'' film, depending on the schedule.<ref name="LeitchDoGMay2018" /> A third ''Deadpool'' film was believed to be in active development by that August, with production planned to take place in [[Atlanta]], Georgia, rather than in [[Vancouver]], Canada, where the previous films were made.<ref name="Aug2018AtlantaProd" /> ''[[Once Upon a Deadpool]]'', a PG-13 version of ''Deadpool 2'', was released at the end of the year. It was watched carefully by Disney and [[Marvel Studios]] to see how it might inform their approach to the character in the MCU.<ref name="OnceUponADeadpool" /> While promoting ''Once Upon a Deadpool'', Reynolds confirmed that a third ''Deadpool'' film was in development and said it would go in a "completely different direction".<ref name="OUADChina" /> Reynolds later revealed that they were considering a [[Road movie|road trip film]] styled after ''[[Rashomon]]'' (1950) featuring [[Hugh Jackman]]'s ''[[X-Men (film series)|X-Men]]'' character [[Logan (film character)|James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine]].<ref name="ReynoldsRoadTrip" /> [[Karan Soni]], who portrayed [[Dopinder]] in the first two ''Deadpool'' films, reiterated these plans and explained that the film would have focused on Deadpool trying to save Christmas by going on a road trip to the North Pole.<ref name="SoniInitialDP3Plans" /> Jackman had himself envisioned a team-up film with Reynolds inspired by ''[[48 Hrs.]]'' (1982) while attending a screening of ''Deadpool'' in 2016, but chose to retire from the role of Wolverine after ''[[Logan (film)|Logan]]'' (2017).<ref name="JackmanOct2022" /> In March 2019, Disney officially acquired Fox and gained the film rights to several [[Marvel Comics]] characters for Marvel Studios, including [[Deadpool]] and the [[X-Men]].<ref name="DisneyFoxDealClose" /><ref name="FoxDisneyPressRelease" /> The Marvel-based films that Fox had been developing were placed "on hold".<ref name="FoxMarvelOnHold" />
[[Josh Brolin]], who portrayed [[Cable (character)|Cable]] in ''Deadpool 2'' and [[Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thanos]] in the MCU, said in June 2019 that he had discussed his future as Cable with Marvel Studios.<ref name="BrolinJun2019" /> In October, [[Zazie Beetz]] said she would be surprised if she did not reprise her ''Deadpool 2'' role of [[Domino (character)|Domino]] in a future film.<ref name="BeetzOct2019" /> That month, Reese and Wernick said they and Reynolds were taking a "much-needed rest from Deadpool" while they waited to hear from Marvel Studios about the franchise's future. They confirmed that another ''Deadpool'' film would be made, that it would be R-rated like the previous films, and that it would integrate the character with the MCU. Wernick said there was never a set [[Pitch (filmmaking)|pitch]] for a third ''Deadpool'' film between their exhaustion following ''Deadpool 2'' and the announcement of Fox's acquisition by Disney. Reese said they now had to "land on the right idea and once we do, I think we'll be off to the races". The writers felt there would be more characters available in the MCU to act as foils for Deadpool compared to their restricted options among the characters that Fox had control over for the previous films.<ref name="ReeseWernickOct2019" />


=== Development ===
=== Development ===
During production on ''Deadpool'' ''2'' (2018), a reboot for the MCU was being planned by [[Mob Productions]] with [[Freddie Goodwin]] attached to write the screenplay. In June 2021, [[Ryan Reynolds]] was confirmed to be reprising his role as Wade Wilson/Deadpool in the film.  
Reynolds revealed in mid-October 2019 that he was meeting with Marvel Studios.<ref name="ReynoldsMeeting" /> At that time, Marvel Studios president [[Kevin Feige]] was unsure how to integrate Deadpool into the MCU and was still thinking about how the X-Men and [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutants]] in general would be added to the franchise. Feige described Reynolds as an "idea machine" who pitched many different approaches for the film,<ref name="EmpireMay2024Pitch" /> including a low budget road trip film with Deadpool and Dopinder that was compared to independent films from the [[Sundance Film Festival]].<ref name="EWCoverJun2024" /> Reynolds also pitched his previous idea for a ''Rashomon''–style team-up film with Wolverine, which would tell one story from three different perspectives.<ref name="EmpireMay2024Pitch" /><ref name="EWCoverJun2024" /> He was told that it would not be possible to include Wolverine in the film.<ref name="JackmanOct2022" /><ref name="EmpireMay2024Pitch" /> In December, Reynolds confirmed that the "whole team" was actively developing a ''Deadpool'' film at Marvel Studios.<ref name="ReynoldsDec2019" />
 
Reynolds and Marvel Studios met with potential writers throughout October 2020, including [[Molyneux sisters|Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin]] whose pitch was in line with their intentions for the film. The Molyneux sisters were hired to write the screenplay the next month. Reynolds and Marvel Studios were open to Leitch returning for the film, but he was not expected to due to other commitments throughout 2021 and was not involved in hiring the writers.<ref name="MolyneuxSisters" /> Leitch later confirmed that he met with Marvel for the film, but both parties understood that scheduling and other commitments would prevent him from returning.<ref name="LeitchAug2022" /> In January 2021, Feige reaffirmed that the film would receive an R rating and would be set in the MCU. Reynolds was supervising the scripting process at that time, and Feige said filming would not begin until after 2021 due to Reynolds's busy schedule.<ref name="FeigeConfirm" />
 
[[File:Shawn Levy by Gage Skidmore 2.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Director Shawn Levy at CinemaCon in April 2024, where he promoted the film]]
While filming ''[[The Adam Project]]'' (2022) with director [[Shawn Levy]], Reynolds approached Levy about working together on the next ''Deadpool'' film after they had become frequent collaborators. Reynolds assumed Levy would not be interested due to it being a sequel and not an original work, but Levy was enthused about the idea as long as they had the right story to tell.<ref name="VanityFairJun2024" /> In July 2021, Reynolds and [[Taika Waititi]] promoted their film ''[[Free Guy]]'' (2021), also directed by Levy, by appearing as Deadpool and Waititi's MCU character [[Korg (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Korg]], respectively, in a commercial for that film titled ''[[Deadpool and Korg React]]''. Deadpool, who often breaks the [[fourth wall]], discusses joining the MCU with Korg in the commercial.<ref name="VarietyFreeGuyAd" /><ref name="DigitalSpyFreeGuyAd" /> The next month, Reynolds said he expected filming to begin in 2022,<ref name="ReynoldsAug2021" /> which Feige soon confirmed. Feige added that Marvel Studios had a release timeframe in mind for the film.<ref name="FeigeAug2021" /> In November, Beetz and [[Rob Delaney]] expressed interest in returning as their ''Deadpool 2'' characters Domino and Peter,<ref name="BeetzNov2021" /><ref name="DelaneyNov2021" /> but Beetz ultimately did not return for the third film.<ref name="NoBeetz" /> Also in November, Reynolds said they were "plugging away" at the film.<ref name="ReynoldsNov2021" />


Development on the first film was mixed with a potential second film as confirmed in June 2022. By then, Goodwin announced he has worked on every project in the MCU and will focus entirely on the future of the franchise.
Levy was revealed to be directing the film in March 2022,<ref name="LevyMar2022THR" /><ref name="LevyMar2022Variety" /> and said filming would not begin until after 2022 due to his busy schedule through the remainder of the year.<ref name="LevyNo2022Filming" /> Reese and Wernick were hired to rewrite the screenplay,<ref name="LevyMar2022THR" /><ref name="LevyMar2022Variety" /> and said they were excited to use MCU elements in the film. They added that Disney and Marvel were supportive of jokes about the MCU that they were writing for Deadpool given the success of the previous films. They would not confirm whether they were starting from scratch or reworking the previous draft by the Molyneux sisters.<ref name="ReeseWernickJun2022" /> In June, [[Ray Chan (art director)|Raymond Chan]] was revealed to be the production designer after working on the [[Disney+]] MCU television series ''[[The Falcon and the Winter Soldier]]'' (2021).<ref name="Chan" /> Feige said in July that the film would be elevated from the first two in a similar way to other third installments of MCU film series, such as ''[[Captain America: Civil War]]'' (2016), ''[[Thor: Ragnarok]]'' (2017), and ''[[Avengers: Infinity War]]'' (2018).<ref name="FeigeJuly2022" />


In December 2019, after the release of Fox's ''Deadpool 2'', [[Freddie Goodwin]] began work on a new Deadpool franchise to have Ryan Reynolds star in which will reboot the films. In February 2020, Reynolds agreed to do the film, as long as he produced it alongside Goodwin.
Levy and Reynolds worked on the script with Reese, Wernick, and [[Zeb Wells]],<ref name="VanityFairJun2024" /> who previously worked on the MCU miniseries ''[[She-Hulk: Attorney at Law]]'' (2022) and ''[[Marvel Zombies (miniseries)|Marvel Zombies]]'' (2024), and the film ''[[The Marvels]]'' (2023).<ref name="Disney+DayDeadline" /><ref name="WellsPastMCUWork" /> They all began to feel that they did not have an original story that was not derivative of the other ''Deadpool'' films. Levy explained that they felt the film had to be "deserving" of being the first ''Deadpool'' film set within the MCU, while still feeling "grounded because this is an earthbound, gritty, realistic superhero franchise". Levy and Reynolds were prepared to suggest to Feige that the film not move forward at that time because of the trouble they had landing on a story idea,<ref name="VanityFairJun2024" /> with executive producer Wendy Jacobson also stating that Marvel was struggling to settle on a core idea for the film.<ref name="EmpireMay2024Pitch" /> In August 2022, Jackman reached out to Reynolds about wanting to be part of the film. Reynolds was preparing for a meeting with Feige to discuss how to proceed given their lack of story ideas, and realized that including Wolverine would solve many of the issues they were coming up against.<ref name="JackmanOct2022" /><ref name="VanityFairJun2024" /> Jackman had a change of heart, after being content with his decision to retire as Wolverine for several years, and decided that a team-up film with Reynolds "could be so much fun; I'll probably have more fun on that movie than anything I've ever done".<ref name="JackmanBeforeLogan" /><ref name="JackmanOct2022" /> Feige advised Jackman not to return, as he felt Wolverine's death in ''Logan'' was the "greatest ending in history" and did not want to undo that. He was won over by the idea that Jackman would portray a new version of Wolverine, and Jackman confirmed that he wanted to return after taking a long drive to think about it.<ref name="EmpireMay2024Wolverine" />
 
Reynolds announced in September 2022 that Jackman would return as Wolverine for ''Deadpool 3'', which was set for release on September 6, 2024.<ref name="ReynoldsJackmanRelease" /> The pair said the film would avoid affecting the events of ''Logan'' by using a [[narrative device]] from Marvel Studios that allowed different versions of characters to move around timelines.<ref name="JackmanDifferentLogan" /><ref name="JackmanDec2022" /> Levy said preserving ''Logan''{{'s}} legacy was top priority for the creative team.<ref name="VanityFairJun2024" /> Jackman reached out to ''Logan'' director [[James Mangold]] to inform him of the film's story and said Mangold was both enthusiastic about the idea and relieved that ''Logan'' would not be impacted.<ref name="JackmanBeforeLogan" /> Alongside Feige, Reynolds and Levy produced the film through their respective production companies [[Maximum Effort]] and [[21 Laps Entertainment]],<ref name="Corrin" /><ref name="MaximumEffort" /><ref name="21Laps" /> as did ''X-Men'' film producer [[Lauren Shuler Donner]].<ref name="TrailerViews" /> [[Simon Kinberg]] served as an executive producer after producing the previous ''Deadpool'' films and some ''X-Men'' films.<ref name="Kinberg" /><ref name="KinbergSep2023" /><ref name="DPWolverineMarvel" /> He said the film had been authored by Levy, Reynolds, and Feige, and they all cared deeply about ''Logan'', Deadpool, and Wolverine.<ref name="KinbergSep2023" /> Levy added that the legacies of Deadpool and Wolverine informed the film's story and themes.<ref name="EWCoverJun2024" /> Jackman said the film may not be titled ''Deadpool 3'',<ref name="JackmanOct2022" /> with Reynolds later referring to it as "The Deadpool/Wolverine film",<ref name="ReynoldsVarietyNov2022" /> and Jackman referring to it as ''Wolverine and Deadpool''.<ref name="JackmanJan2023" /> Levy said the creative team were discussing multiple options for the title, and he had at times referred to it as ''Deadpool Versus Wolverine'', ''Deadpool and Wolverine'', and ''Deadpool 3 with Wolverine''.<ref name="NoTitle" /> The film's official title was announced as ''Deadpool & Wolverine'' in February 2024,<ref name="EWSuperBowl" /> with Levy acknowledging that it was the third ''Deadpool'' film but he did not want to call it ''Deadpool 3'' because it is a "two-hander character adventure" that focuses on both characters.<ref name="LevyTitleApr2024" /> Despite this, Reynolds said the film was tonally still a ''Deadpool'' film, with violence, swearing, and "[[wikt:meta|meta]] mayhem". He called it "the most Deadpool movie in the history of Deadpool".<ref name="EmpireMay2024Deadpool" />

Goodwin and Sara Case began working on the script in December 2019. They considered making the story be set in the same timeline as the original two ''Deadpool'' films, though didn't want to the film to be the third film in that universe, or the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In March 2020, development was put on hold, though Goodwin and Case worked together during the lockdowns to write the script. They ended up rewriting the script more than twelve times. Goodwin wanted to include Barry Allen/Flash from DC Comics in the film, though chose to exclude him because he has a film the month following this film.
Pre-production work began by October 2022,<ref name="BackstageOct2022" /> less than two months after Jackman decided to join the film. Jacobson said this was one of the fastest turnarounds she had seen for a big production.<ref name="EmpireMay2024Pitch" /> Filming was expected to begin in January 2023 in Vancouver.<ref name="Jan2023VancouverFilming" /> In mid-October, the film's release date was pushed back to November 8, 2024.<ref name="Nov2024Release" /> Reynolds said the next month that filming would begin in mid-2023,<ref name="ReynoldsNov2022" /> and Levy confirmed in December that filming was set to begin that May. He said developing the film was one of the most fun creative experiences of his career, citing the film's self-awareness, violence, and foul language.<ref name="LevyDec2022" /> Levy said he did not want to alter the franchise's DNA from the prior films and called the new film "raw, audacious, [and] very much R-rated", comparing it to the [[Buddy film|buddy comedy]] films ''[[Midnight Run]]'' (1988), ''48 Hrs.'', and ''[[Planes, Trains and Automobiles]]'' (1987).<ref name="LevyDeadlineSep2023" />


Initially they thought this film would be a one off type of film, with no sequels planned. However, in June 2021, Goodwin confirmed this film is being developed alongside a second ''Deadpool'' film that is coming in the far future. Goodwin planned to revisit past moments from the first two films that were released by Fox.
[[Patrick Stewart]], who portrayed [[Charles Xavier (film character)|Charles Xavier / Professor X]] in the ''X-Men'' film series and reprised the role in the MCU film ''[[Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness]]'' (2022), had been approached about potentially making an appearance in the film by February 2023.<ref name="StewartApproached" /> Later that month, filming was set to take place in London,<ref name="LondonFilming" /> and [[Emma Corrin]] joined the cast in a lead villain role. Marvel had been considering Corrin since late 2022 but had to work through scheduling issues with their other commitments before they signed on.<ref name="Corrin" /> Corrin was cast after Levy saw their performance in a stage production of [[Virginia Woolf]]'s ''[[Orlando: A Biography|Orlando]]''.<ref name="CorrinEmpire" /> In March, the [[Time Variance Authority (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Time Variance Authority]] (TVA), [[Mobius M. Mobius (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Mobius M. Mobius]] (portrayed by [[Owen Wilson]]), and [[Miss Minutes]] (voiced by [[Tara Strong]]) from the MCU television series ''[[Loki (TV series)|Loki]]'' (2021–2023) were reported to be featured in the film.<ref name="TVAReport" /> Later that month, [[Matthew Macfadyen]] joined the cast in an undisclosed role,<ref name="Macfadyen" /> which was described as a [[wikt:third wheel|third wheel]] to Deadpool and Wolverine.<ref name="Macfadyen2" /> Karan Soni and [[Leslie Uggams]] were set to reprise their roles as Dopinder and [[Blind Al]] from the previous ''Deadpool'' films.<ref name="SoniUggams" /> In early April, [[Morena Baccarin]] said she was in negotiations to reprise her ''Deadpool'' role as [[Vanessa Carlysle]],<ref name="BaccarinTalks" /> and she was confirmed to be returning later that month along with [[Stefan Kapičić]] as the voice of [[Colossus (character)|Colossus]].<ref name="BaccarinKapičić" /> The following month, Delaney, [[Brianna Hildebrand]], and [[Shioli Kutsuna]] were revealed to be reprising their respective roles as Peter Wisdom, [[Negasonic Teenage Warhead]], and [[Yukio (comics)|Yukio]].<ref name="Delaney" /><ref name="HildebrandKutsuna" />


By the end of 2019, filming was expected to begin in mid-2020. In April 2020, Sony rescheduled ''No Way Home''<nowiki/>'s release to November 5, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Graham Churchyard and [[Mayes C. Rubeo]] were the film's costume designers.<ref name="ChurchyardRubeo" /> Jackman wears a yellow and blue costume similar to Wolverine's costumes from ''[[X-Men: The Animated Series]]'' (1992–1997) and the comic books,<ref name="JackmanCostumeTHR" /><ref name="JackmanCostumeEW" /> specifically [[Astonishing X-Men#Volume 3 (2004–2013)|''Astonishing X-Men'' volume 3]] (2004–2013) drawn by [[John Cassaday]];<ref name="JackmanCostumeAstonishing" /> it also features elements of the character's 1970s design by [[John Romita Sr.]] and [[Dave Cockrum]] and the 1990s design by [[Jim Lee]].<ref name="JackmanCostumeNewsarama" /> Jackman did not wear a comics-accurate costume in the ''X-Men'' film series, though it was referenced in ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' (2000) and a [[deleted scene]] from ''[[The Wolverine (film)|The Wolverine]]'' (2013).<ref name="JackmanCostumeTHR" /> The film was therefore an opportunity to see Jackman in a comics-accurate costume for the first time,<ref name="EmpireMay2024Wolverine" /> and Levy felt this could be the last chance for Jackman to wear such a costume. They went through several iterations and fittings to get the suit right.<ref name="LevyEWWolverineSuit" /> Jackman said putting the suit on "looked so right [and] felt so right" and he questioned why he had not worn such a costume for the previous ''X-Men'' films.<ref name="EmpireMay2024Wolverine" /> An early reveal of the costume was met with positive reactions online,<ref name="JackmanCostumeNewsarama" /><ref name="JackmanCostumeTotalFilm" /><ref name="JackmanCostume/Film" /><ref name="JackmanCostumePolygon" /> and led some commentators to determine that Jackman was portraying a different iteration of the character in the film from the one he portrayed in the ''X-Men'' films.<ref name="JackmanCostume/Film" /><ref name="JackmanCostumeVariety" /> Reynolds also has an updated costume from the previous ''Deadpool'' films,<ref name="JackmanCostumeEW" /> featuring a brighter shade of red and larger black circles on his mask. This is reminiscent of the character's comic book design from the 1990s.<ref name="ReynoldsNewCostumeCBR" /> Levy was pleased with the "overwhelmingly positive" response to the suit designs, which were revealed early due to production occurring [[On location filming|on location]].<ref name="LevyEWWolverineSuit" />

=== Filming ===
Second unit filming occurred from October 14 to 16, 2020, in New York City, under the working title ''Red in Dead'', to capture visual effects plates and establishing shots. Filming occurred in the Astoria, Sunnyside, and Long Island City neighborhoods in Queens. On October 23, filming occurred in Greenwich Village in Manhattan.
[[Principal photography]] began on May 22, 2023, in London and at [[Pinewood Studios]] in Buckinghamshire, England,<ref name="KapičićFilmingStart" /><ref name="THRFilmingStart" /><ref name="PinewoodStudios" /> under the [[working title]] ''Tidal Wave''.<ref name="ProductionWeeklyApr2023" /> [[George Richmond (cinematographer)|George Richmond]] served as the cinematographer after working with Levy and Reynolds on ''Free Guy''.<ref name="Richmond" /> Reynolds lobbied Marvel Studios to film in Vancouver, where he is from and the previous ''Deadpool'' films were made, but conceded that "they have their [established] infrastructure, and you just have to sort of fall in line".<ref name="ReynoldsVancouverFilmingHope" /> However, a [[United States Copyright Office]] filing for the film indicated that some filming did occur in Vancouver.<ref name="CopyrightOffice" /> Levy worked with Marvel Studios and the producers of the [[Netflix]] series ''[[Stranger Things]]'' (2016–present), on which he was an executive producer, to allow him to direct for that series' [[Stranger Things (season 5)|final season]] since the schedules for the two projects were expected to overlap.<ref name="StrangerThingsConflicts" /><ref name="StrangerThingsStrikeDelay" />
 
Filming was not expected to be impacted by the [[2023 Writers Guild of America strike]] that began in early May, outside of Reynolds being unable to contribute to the script during filming as he had done for the previous films. Marvel Studios was reportedly planning to shoot what they could during principal photography and make any necessary writing adjustments during the film's already scheduled reshoots.<ref name="ReynoldsWritersStrike" /> The film was shot on location where possible, to create a more grounded feeling than can be achieved with soundstages.<ref name="LevyDeadlineSep2023" /><ref name="LevyEWWolverineSuit" /><ref name="ReynoldsSetPhotosResponse" /> In June, the film's release date was moved forward to May 3, 2024.<ref name="May2024Release" /> Filming for a car crash scene took place on location in London in early July 2023.<ref name="LondonSetPhotos" /> Shortly after, [[Jennifer Garner]] was revealed to be appearing in the film as [[Elektra (character)|Elektra]] after portraying a version of that character in the Fox-produced film ''[[Daredevil (film)|Daredevil]]'' (2003) and its spin-off ''[[Elektra (2005 film)|Elektra]]'' (2005);<ref name="Garner" /> Garner denied her involvement.<ref name="GarnerDeny" /> Filming with Reynolds and Jackman took place in [[Norfolk]].<ref name="NorfolkFilming" />
 
Production was suspended on July 14, 2023, because of the [[2023 SAG-AFTRA strike]].<ref name="SAGAFTRAStrike" /> 35 days of filming were completed prior to the shutdown, with another 35 days left.<ref name="LevyDeadlineSep2023" /><ref name="LevyColliderSep2023" /> Filming was set to resume following the conclusion of the [[2023 Hollywood labor disputes|dual Hollywood strikes]].<ref name="LevyDeadlineSep2023" /> Disney paid to keep the film's sets intact during the strike.<ref name="Nov2023DelayReason" /> Levy and Reynolds were able to edit what had been shot and begin work on the visual effects,<ref name="LevyTheWrapOct2023" /><ref name="Nov2023DelayReason" /> though they had not prioritized filming major visual effects sequences before the strike.<ref name="LevyColliderSep2023" /> Prior to the strike, Baccarin completed filming all of her scenes,<ref name="BaccarinFilming" /> and Levy shot a sequence that he likened to the [[lightsaber]] duel between [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[Darth Vader]] in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' (1983). He asked the film's [[Stunt performer|stunt team]] to look to that scene's blocking, tempo, and [[Film frame|framing]] for their scene.<ref name="RotJInspiration" /> Levy acknowledged some of the casting rumors surrounding the film—including Garner appearing as Elektra, [[Liev Schreiber]] returning as [[Sabretooth (character)|Sabretooth]] from ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' (2009), and [[Taylor Swift]] making a [[cameo appearance]] as [[Dazzler (Marvel Comics)|Dazzler]]—and said some of them were true, but would not confirm which ones.<ref name="LevyEWWolverineSuit" /><ref name="LevyTheWrapOct2023" /> Swift was later stated to not be appearing in the film.<ref name="NoSwift" /> Levy said the characters that were included, such as [[Aaron Stanford]] reprising his role as [[Pyro (Marvel Comics)|Pyro]] from ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'' (2003) and ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' (2006), were added as the story developed rather than being based on a wishlist of characters and cameos that the producers wanted to include.<ref name="EWMay2024" /> They did not want cameos or "global MCU stakes" to be the focus of the film, and were able to include "deep-cut" references to Marvel's history because Deadpool can serve as a Marvel fan through his [[fourth wall]]-breaking.<ref name="EWCoverJun2024" /> Soni said several cameos were intended to be a surprise for the audience.<ref name="SoniSurprises" />
 
The film, along with others that were mid-way through production at the start of the strikes, was said to be a top priority for the studios to resume production following the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike.<ref name="FilmingResumePriority" /> In October 2023, Levy questioned if the film would be able to retain its May 2024 release date given the SAG-AFTRA strike was still ongoing at that time,<ref name="LevyTheWrapOct2023" /> shortly before it was reported that the film was likely to be delayed to a date later in 2024 even if filming was able to resume by the start of that year.<ref name="NoMay2024Release" /> After the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike on November 9, filming was expected to resume in London within the following two weeks before [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]].<ref name="Nov2023DelayReason" /><ref name="ThanksgivingFilmingRestart" /> Reynolds announced that the character [[Dogpool]] would appear in the film,<ref name="Dogpool" /> played by [[dog actor]] [[Peggy (dog)|Peggy]],<ref name="DogpoolPeggy" /> and the film's release date was pushed back to July 26, 2024.<ref name="Jul2024Release" /> Filming resumed by November 23.<ref name="FilmingRestart" /> Levy said his time editing and reviewing footage during the strikes allowed him to gain a better understanding of the film, and he was able to return to work without feeling rushed and with a focus on what was needed to complete it.<ref name="LevyAPApr2024" />
 
In early December 2023, set photos revealed that the characters Sabretooth and [[Toad (Marvel Comics)|Toad]] were appearing in the film. They resembled their appearances in the film ''X-Men'' in which they were respectively portrayed by [[Tyler Mane]] and [[Ray Park]];<ref name="SetPhotosSabretooth" /><ref name="SetPhotosToadCBR" /><ref name="SetPhotosToad" /> Mane was confirmed to be reprising his role as Sabretooth in a trailer released in June 2024.<ref name="SabretoothTrailer" /> Set photos also revealed a giant 20th Century Fox logo set piece.<ref name="ReynoldsSetPhotosResponse" /> Reynolds commented shortly after about the set photo leaks, saying they created a difficult situation for the production and expressing his hope that websites would stop publishing unfinished, out-of-context leaked images to "preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen".<ref name="ReynoldsSetPhotosResponse" /> He noted that the franchise is associated with leaks since the first ''Deadpool'' film was able to be made following [[Deadpool (film)#Development|a leak of its original test footage]]. Reynolds proceeded to post faux leaked images featuring [[Mickey Mouse]], [[Predator (fictional species)|Predator]], and [[Steve Urkel]], along with various hashtags to try to alter the social media algorithm around the actual leaked photos since platforms prioritize posts from high-profile accounts.<ref name="ReynoldsFakeLeaks" />
 
[[Rob McElhenney]], Reynolds' co-chairman of [[Wrexham A.F.C.]], visited the set to film a cameo appearance while also discussing matters for their football team given Reynolds' filming schedule. This visit was captured by the ''[[Welcome to Wrexham]]'' (2022–present) documentary series, which showed McElhenney wearing a TVA agent uniform.<ref name="McElhenney" /><ref name="McElhenney2" /> At the end of December, [[Bona Film Group]] signed a deal with [[TSG Entertainment]] to invest in a slate of films, including the ''Deadpool'' franchise.<ref name="BonaTSGInvest" /> In early January 2024, ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' reported that the film would include several characters from prior Fox-produced Marvel films and that it was expected to take a similar approach to ''[[Spider-Man: No Way Home]]'' (2021), which features multiple characters from [[Spider-Man in film|past ''Spider-Man'' films]] coming together.<ref name="VarietyReturningCharacters" /> Set photos at the end of the month showed Reynolds wearing a samurai-inspired Deadpool costume.<ref name="ReynoldsSamuraiVariant" /> Filming, which also took place at Bovingdon Film Studios,<ref name="Bovingdon" /> [[wrap (filmmaking)|wrapped]] on January 24.<ref name="FilmingWrap" /> Soni said the film was "taking full advantage of the MCU" and would feature jokes about Feige.<ref name="SoniJokes" />

At the end of April 2024, Levy said he was busy finishing work on the film.<ref name="LevyAPApr2024" /> Early screenings of the film had taken place, which he described as "extremely, extremely promising", with the main changes coming from them being pacing adjustments.<ref name="LevyTestsApr2024" /> He added that despite the film's multiverse connections and use of elements from other projects, such as the TVA from ''Loki'', he did not expect audiences to do homework before watching the film and intended for it to be an entertaining experience on its own.<ref name="LevyAPApr2024" /> Post-production was completed on June 19, 2024.<ref name="PostProductionComplete" /> The next month, [[Jon Favreau]] was revealed to be reprising his MCU role as [[Happy Hogan (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Happy Hogan]] in the film.<ref name="IGN35Minutes"/> [[Dean Zimmerman (film editor)|Dean Zimmerman]] and Shane Reid edited the film,<ref name="ReidZimmerman" /> while [[Swen Gillberg]] served as the visual effects supervisor.<ref name="ArtOfVFX" /> Visual effects were provided by [[Industrial Light & Magic]] (ILM), [[Framestore]], [[Base FX]], Barnstorm VFX, Raynault VFX, [[Rising Sun Pictures]], and [[Wētā FX]].<ref name="ArtOfVFX" />

A trailer was released on December 17, 2023 and confirmed the release date of February 8, 2024.
A teaser trailer for the film was released during [[Super Bowl LVIII]] in February 2024. Nick Romano from ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' said the trailer confirmed the film's R rating and the fact that Deadpool would be "infiltrating" the MCU.<ref name="EWSuperBowl" /> Austin Goslin of ''[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]'' also highlighted the use of MCU elements and questioned whether Reynolds was playing the same version of Deadpool as he did in the previous films, due to how happy he is at the start of the trailer.<ref name="PolygonSuperBowl" /> ''[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]''{{'s}} Angela Wattercutter noted a sexually explicit [[Pegging (sexual practice)|pegging]] joke in the trailer, a first for the MCU. Wattercutter speculated that the film could expand upon queer themes previously explored in ''Loki'' and the MCU ''Thor'' films.<ref name="WiredSuperBowl" /> The trailer's inclusion of the [[Secret Wars (2015 comic book)#Issue five|''Secret Wars'' (2015) #5]] comic book issue was also discussed, given that Marvel Studios had announced the film ''[[Avengers: Secret Wars]]'' (2027).<ref name="PolygonTeaserEEs" /><ref name="CBRTeaserSWComic" /><ref name="TotalFilmTeaserEEs" /> Shortly after the trailer's premiere, Jackman posted a tongue-in-cheek jab at Reynolds with a modified logo displaying "''Wolverine & Asshole''".<ref name="WolverineAsshole" /> The trailer had 365 million global views in its first 24 hours, surpassing the record of ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'' (355.5 million views) to become the most-viewed trailer in that time period.<ref name="TrailerViews" /> The reported views included the 123 million Super Bowl viewers who saw a 30-second version of the trailer.<ref name="TrailerViews2" />
 
A "silence your phones" [[public service announcement]] (PSA) with Deadpool and Wolverine opened Disney's presentation at [[CinemaCon]] in April 2024, during which Feige and Levy debuted nine minutes of footage from the film. ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' said this "drew the biggest laughter" of all the presentations at the convention.<ref name="2024CinemaCon" /> It included repurposed ''[[Thor: The Dark World]]'' (2013) footage of [[Chris Hemsworth]] as [[Thor (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thor]], who is mourning the supposed death of Deadpool rather than [[Loki (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Loki]] as seen in that film.<ref name="HemsworthArchiveFootage" /><ref name="HemsworthInterview" /> The PSA was later released publicly.<ref name="PSARelease" /> An official trailer debuted on April 22, set to "[[Like a Prayer (song)|Like a Prayer]]" by [[Madonna]].<ref name="OfficialTrailer" /> A trailer released on May 20, 2024, announcing ticket pre-sales included a [[QR code]] that led to a video of Reynolds reading a disclaimer for the film.<ref name="QRCodeDisclaimer" /> At the end of the month, a special popcorn bucket for the film's theatrical release was revealed,<ref name="PopcornBucketReveal" /> after Feige had said it would be "intentionally crude and lewd". This was inspired by the [[Dune: Part Two#Popcorn bucket meme|viral popcorn bucket]] for ''[[Dune: Part Two]]'' (2024).<ref name="CrudePopcornBucket" /> The bucket is shaped like Wolverine's head with a "comically oversized" mouth for the popcorn or other snacks. A video reveal, set to the "[[Also sprach Zarathustra]]" fanfare which was famously used in ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' (1968), shows Deadpool caressing the bucket as popcorn falls into its mouth and butter drips down its nose.<ref name="PopcornBucketReveal" />
 
A teaser released in early June revealed that the character [[Lady Deadpool]] would appear in the film, prompting speculation about who played the role,<ref name="LadyDeadpool" /> while Reynolds appeared as Deadpool in a "typically irreverent video" at [[CineEurope]] later that month to introduce 12 minutes of footage from the film.<ref name="CineEurope" /> The cast went on a global marketing tour for the film starting in early July.

== Release ==
== Release ==
''Deadpool'' was released on February 8, 2024, as part of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]] of the MCU.
''Deadpool & Wolverine'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 16, 2024, as part of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Five|Phase One]] of the MCU.
 
== Box office projections ==
[[Fandango Media|Fandango]] announced that ticket pre-sales for the film were the best of 2024, the franchise's best, and the best for an R-rated film on the site, while [[AMC Theatres]] announced that 200,000 people bought first-day tickets at AMC, the most sales for any R-rated film at the theater chain. ''The Hollywood Reporter'' reported that first-day ticket sales were likely around $8–9&nbsp;million and felt the film would debut at over $100&nbsp;million, something no 2024 film release had done by late May.<ref name="THRPreSaleTickets" /> The Quorum, which looks at box office projections for films as early as six weeks ahead of release, projected the film would open between $200–239&nbsp;million. They said these were conservative projections and it was likely to open higher. ''Deadline Hollywood'' noted that no R-rated film had ever opened domestically over $200&nbsp;million, with the record opening for an R-rated film being the first ''Deadpool'' with $132.4&nbsp;million.<ref name="QuorumBOTracking" /> Three weeks ahead of release, multiple tracking services projected the film would open between $160–165&nbsp;million, which would still be a record opening for an R-rated film and the best opening for a 2024 release. ''Deadline Hollywood'' said Disney was expecting an opening in this range, and added that presale tickets was at $19&nbsp;million. Quorum reaffirmed its projection of a $200+ million opening at that time.<ref name="Deadline3WeeksBOTracking" />

Deadpool & Wolverine, later advertised simply as Deadpool, is a 2024 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics characters Deadpool and Wolverine, produced by Marvel Studios, Maximum Effort, and 21 Laps Entertainment, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the 1st film in the Mob Cinematic Universe (MCU) and a sequel to Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). The film is directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay he wrote with Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman star as Deadpool and Wolverine, respectively, alongside Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen. In the film, the Time Variance Authority (TVA) pulls Deadpool from his quiet life and sets him on a mission with Wolverine that will change the history of the MCU.

Development on a third Deadpool film began at 20th Century Fox by November 2016, but was placed on hold after the studio was acquired by Disney in March 2019. Control of the character was transferred to Marvel Studios, which began developing a new film with Reynolds. It integrates Deadpool with the MCU and retains the R rating of the previous films, making it the first MCU film to have such a rating. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin joined in November 2020 as writers. Reese and Wernick returned from the previous films for rewrites by March 2022, when Levy was hired as director. They, along with Reynolds and Wells, had difficulty figuring out the film's story until Jackman decided to reprise his role as Wolverine from Fox's X-Men films in August 2022. Filming began in May 2023 at Pinewood Studios in England, with additional filming in Norfolk and at Bovingdon Film Studios. Production was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, but resumed in November and wrapped in January 2024. The film's title was revealed a month later.

Deadpool & Wolverine premiered on February 2, 2024, at the David H. Koch Theater in New York City, and was released across the United States on February 8, 2024, as part of Phase One of the MCU. The film received positive reviews from critics. Following the films release, Mob Productions started marketing the film simply as Deadpool; the film being "retitled" was part of the plan according to Freddie Goodwin. A sequel, Deadpool 2, is intended to be released on May 21, 2026.

Plot[edit | edit source]

In 2018, Wade Wilson uses Cable's time-traveling device to travel from his timeline, Earth-10005, to Earth-616, the "Sacred Timeline", where he meets Happy Hogan and requests to join the Avengers, but he is refused.

Six years later, Wade has retired from being the masked mercenary known as Deadpool and began to work as a used car salesman after breaking up with his girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle. During his birthday party, the Time Variance Authority (TVA) captures Wade and brings him to Mr. Paradox, who offers him a place on Earth-616. However, Paradox also reveals that Wade's timeline is deteriorating as a result of the death of James "Logan" Howlett, who is revealed to be the timeline's "anchor being." Wade steals Paradox's TemPad to travel the multiverse and find a variant of Logan to save his timeline.

After encountering various Logan variants, Wade takes one back to the TVA, where he learns that this particular Logan destroyed his universe before Paradox prunes them both into the Void. Wade and Logan fight before they and Johnny Storm are captured and sent to Cassandra Nova, whom Logan identifies as the twin sister of the X-Men leader Charles Xavier. Upon arriving at Nova's lair, she demonstrates her power to manipulate people's minds and explains her agreement with the TVA to stay in the Void as a gang leader. She then kills Johnny and tries to puzzle Wade with the feeling of not being needed before Alioth appears. Wade and Logan escape before Alioth can consume them.

Following their escape, Logan and Wade meet a variant of Wade, Nicepool, who gives them a car so that they can travel to the Void's borderlands to join the resistance against Nova and her forces, but Logan chastises Wade for hiding the fact that he is unable to fix Logan's timeline. Arriving at the borderlands, Wade and Logan meet the resistance members Elektra, Blade, Gambit, and Laura, nicknamed the "Others" by Wade. The Others want to team up with Wade and Logan to fight Nova, but Logan refuses to cooperate. However, he eventually relents after a conversation with Laura about his inability to save the X-Men in his universe. Wade, Logan, and the Others go to confront Nova, who has Logan mentally incapacitated, but Wade places Juggernaut's helmet on her to block her powers. Pyro shoots Nova and reveals himself as Paradox's sleeper agent assigned to kill her. Logan persuades Wade to remove the helmet to allow Nova to heal, and in exchange, Nova uses a sling ring from a Doctor Strange variant to open a portal for the duo to travel to Wade's timeline.

Upon arriving on Earth-10005, Wade and Logan find that Paradox is using the "Time Ripper," a device Paradox developed to mercy kill timelines, and which he plans to use on Wade's timeline without permission from his superior. Nova quickly learns this from the executed Pyro as she arrives through another portal and kidnaps Paradox. Wade and Logan battle the Deadpool Corps, an army of Deadpool variants coming from the portal, before Nova takes control of the Time Ripper to destroy all timelines as revenge for Paradox's betrayal. Paradox tells Wade and Logan that one can disrupt the power flow of the Time Ripper at the cost of their life. Using their bodies as conductors, Wade and Logan kill Nova and destroy the Time Ripper, while Hunter B-15 arrests Paradox.

The Others are returned to their respective timelines upon Wade's request, while Logan is permitted to stay in Wade's timeline, which no longer deteriorates. Logan hopes for a change in his past, but B-15 tells him that his past is what makes him the anchor needed to save Wade's timeline, and there is no reason for further change. Logan chooses to retire and live a peaceful life. Before his departure, Wade takes Logan and Laura to meet his friends. Encouraged by Logan, Wade reconciles with Vanessa.

Cast[edit | edit source]

  • Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool:
    A wisecracking mercenary with accelerated healing but severe scarring over his body after undergoing an experimental regenerative mutation to treat terminal cancer.[2] The start of the film sees Wilson no longer operating as Deadpool, no longer dating Vanessa, and working as a used car salesman.[3] Writer Rhett Reese described Deadpool as a fish-out-of water in the film, a lunatic dropped into the "sane world" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).[4] Reynolds said the audience did not have to take Deadpool seriously, particularly with his fourth wall breaking and unreliable narration, but he wanted them to be invested in the other characters.[5] Reynolds also portrays a long-haired, non-scarred variant of Deadpool.[6]
  • Hugh Jackman as James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine:
    A mutant with healing abilities, retractable claws, and an adamantium-infused skeleton.[7] This version of the character is from an alternative universe where he let down the inhabitants.[8][3] This, along with pairing Wolverine with Deadpool, allowed Jackman to explore new aspects of the character than in his prior appearances in 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series.[9][5] Jackman said Logan and Wilson were opposites and had a "quarreling dynamic",[10] while director Shawn Levy said their relationship is impacted by both characters being "haunted with regret".[5] To prepare for the role, Jackman began a vigorous workout routine that included eating up to 8,000 calories a day.[11] Jackman also portrays various variants of Wolverine, including: a comic-accurate height version; Patch, who wears a white tux with an eyepatch; an older variant in the style of the Old Man Logan comics; a 1990s-style variant; and a variant that wears a comic-accurate brown and tan costume.[6]
  • Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova:
    A mutant with telekinetic and telepathic powers, who is the twin sister of Charles Xavier with other-worldly origins.[12][13]Template:Rp Corrin was excited to play a villain in the film as they had not played many villainous roles before.[14] Corrin took inspiration from Christoph Waltz's character Hans Landa in the film Inglourious Basterds (2009), while Reynolds highlighted Corrin's humanization and the motivation of the character, comparing Nova's "mischief, danger, [and] unpredictability" to the energy of actor Gene Wilder.[15] Reynolds and Levy explained Nova to Corrin as someone who would endear and charm you to the point that "you are going to be best friends for life" only to realize she could easily kill you.[3] Corrin was interested in having a physical transformation for the role but was told by the studio that this was not required for the character.[16]
  • Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Paradox:
    A Time Variance Authority (TVA) agent who starts a project to end the crumbling Fox universe. Paradox hopes that with his success in mercy killing the already doomed timeline with his new device, the "Time Ripper", he will rise through the ranks of the TVA and eventually become its leader.[6][17][18]

Reprising their roles from the previous Deadpool films are: Morena Baccarin as Vanessa Carlysle, Wilson's former fiancée,[3][13]Template:Rp whose relationship with Wilson is further reinvented in the film according to Baccarin;[19] Rob Delaney as Peter Wisdom, a member of Wilson's X-Force team;[20][13]Template:Rp Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Wilson's blind elderly roommate;[21] Karan Soni as Dopinder, a taxi driver and admirer of Wilson who serves as his de facto chauffeur;[21] Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, a teenage member of the X-Men with the mutant power to detonate atomic bursts from her body;[22] Stefan Kapičić as the voice of Colossus, a member of the X-Men with the mutant ability to transform his body into organic steel;[23] Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio, Negasonic Teenage Warhead's girlfriend and fellow X-Men member;[22] Randal Reeder as Buck;[24] and Lewis Tan as Shatterstar, a member of X-Force.[12]

Several actors from previous Fox-produced Marvel films also reprise their roles, including: Aaron Stanford as Pyro, a mutant with the ability to manipulate fire;[25][12] Tyler Mane as Sabretooth, a mutant with extendable claws and superhuman strength;[26] and Jennifer Garner as Elektra Natchios, an assassin who wields a pair of sai, from Daredevil (2003) and Elektra (2005).[27] Stanford enjoyed having a more comics-accurate costume over the ones he had worn in X2 (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006).[3] Also appearing in the film are: Dogpool, a canine variant of Wilson, played by dog actor Peggy;[28][29] Lady Deadpool, a female variant of Wilson;[30][6] the mutants Toad,[31] Lady Deathstrike, Azazel,[8] and Juggernaut.[6] Additionally, Jon Favreau reprises his MCU role as Happy Hogan,[6] while Chris Hemsworth appears as Thor through repurposed archival footage from Thor: The Dark World (2013).[18][32] Greg Hemphill plays a bartender,[33] and Wrexham A.F.C. player Ollie Palmer briefly appears as a bar attendee.[34] Rob McElhenney makes an undisclosed cameo appearance.[35]

Production[edit | edit source]

Background[edit | edit source]

After the success of Deadpool (2016), 20th Century Fox began developing two sequels. The third film was set to include the superhero team X-Force.[36] Deadpool director Tim Miller chose not to return for the sequels due to creative differences with star Ryan Reynolds, and David Leitch was hired to direct Deadpool 2 (2018) in November 2016. Fox was looking for another filmmaker to develop the third film.[37] In March 2017, Deadpool and Deadpool 2 co-writer Rhett Reese said X-Force would be introduced in Deadpool 2 before starring in a planned spin-off film that would launch "something bigger", separate from the third Deadpool film, which would be more personal.[38] When the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney was announced in December 2017, the Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger said Reynolds's Deadpool would be integrated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This was despite those films being rated PG-13 and the Deadpool films being R-rated.[39] Iger said Disney was willing to make R-rated Deadpool films "as long as we let the audiences know what's coming" and said a "Marvel-R brand" could be created for characters like Deadpool.[40] In May 2018, Reynolds said a third Deadpool film may not be made due to the shift of focus to X-Force.[41] Reese and his writing partner Paul Wernick said a third film would happen after Reynolds took a break from the character and the X-Force film was released, similar to the MCU crossover film The Avengers (2012) being released between Iron Man 2 (2010) and Iron Man 3 (2013).[42]

At the end of May 2018, Leitch expressed interest in returning for another Deadpool film, depending on the schedule.[43] A third Deadpool film was believed to be in active development by that August, with production planned to take place in Atlanta, Georgia, rather than in Vancouver, Canada, where the previous films were made.[44] Once Upon a Deadpool, a PG-13 version of Deadpool 2, was released at the end of the year. It was watched carefully by Disney and Marvel Studios to see how it might inform their approach to the character in the MCU.[45] While promoting Once Upon a Deadpool, Reynolds confirmed that a third Deadpool film was in development and said it would go in a "completely different direction".[46] Reynolds later revealed that they were considering a road trip film styled after Rashomon (1950) featuring Hugh Jackman's X-Men character James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine.[47] Karan Soni, who portrayed Dopinder in the first two Deadpool films, reiterated these plans and explained that the film would have focused on Deadpool trying to save Christmas by going on a road trip to the North Pole.[48] Jackman had himself envisioned a team-up film with Reynolds inspired by 48 Hrs. (1982) while attending a screening of Deadpool in 2016, but chose to retire from the role of Wolverine after Logan (2017).[49] In March 2019, Disney officially acquired Fox and gained the film rights to several Marvel Comics characters for Marvel Studios, including Deadpool and the X-Men.[50][51] The Marvel-based films that Fox had been developing were placed "on hold".[52]

Josh Brolin, who portrayed Cable in Deadpool 2 and Thanos in the MCU, said in June 2019 that he had discussed his future as Cable with Marvel Studios.[53] In October, Zazie Beetz said she would be surprised if she did not reprise her Deadpool 2 role of Domino in a future film.[54] That month, Reese and Wernick said they and Reynolds were taking a "much-needed rest from Deadpool" while they waited to hear from Marvel Studios about the franchise's future. They confirmed that another Deadpool film would be made, that it would be R-rated like the previous films, and that it would integrate the character with the MCU. Wernick said there was never a set pitch for a third Deadpool film between their exhaustion following Deadpool 2 and the announcement of Fox's acquisition by Disney. Reese said they now had to "land on the right idea and once we do, I think we'll be off to the races". The writers felt there would be more characters available in the MCU to act as foils for Deadpool compared to their restricted options among the characters that Fox had control over for the previous films.[55]

Development[edit | edit source]

Reynolds revealed in mid-October 2019 that he was meeting with Marvel Studios.[56] At that time, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was unsure how to integrate Deadpool into the MCU and was still thinking about how the X-Men and mutants in general would be added to the franchise. Feige described Reynolds as an "idea machine" who pitched many different approaches for the film,[57] including a low budget road trip film with Deadpool and Dopinder that was compared to independent films from the Sundance Film Festival.[3] Reynolds also pitched his previous idea for a Rashomon–style team-up film with Wolverine, which would tell one story from three different perspectives.[57][3] He was told that it would not be possible to include Wolverine in the film.[49][57] In December, Reynolds confirmed that the "whole team" was actively developing a Deadpool film at Marvel Studios.[58]

Reynolds and Marvel Studios met with potential writers throughout October 2020, including Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin whose pitch was in line with their intentions for the film. The Molyneux sisters were hired to write the screenplay the next month. Reynolds and Marvel Studios were open to Leitch returning for the film, but he was not expected to due to other commitments throughout 2021 and was not involved in hiring the writers.[2] Leitch later confirmed that he met with Marvel for the film, but both parties understood that scheduling and other commitments would prevent him from returning.[59] In January 2021, Feige reaffirmed that the film would receive an R rating and would be set in the MCU. Reynolds was supervising the scripting process at that time, and Feige said filming would not begin until after 2021 due to Reynolds's busy schedule.[60]

Director Shawn Levy at CinemaCon in April 2024, where he promoted the film

While filming The Adam Project (2022) with director Shawn Levy, Reynolds approached Levy about working together on the next Deadpool film after they had become frequent collaborators. Reynolds assumed Levy would not be interested due to it being a sequel and not an original work, but Levy was enthused about the idea as long as they had the right story to tell.[5] In July 2021, Reynolds and Taika Waititi promoted their film Free Guy (2021), also directed by Levy, by appearing as Deadpool and Waititi's MCU character Korg, respectively, in a commercial for that film titled Deadpool and Korg React. Deadpool, who often breaks the fourth wall, discusses joining the MCU with Korg in the commercial.[61][62] The next month, Reynolds said he expected filming to begin in 2022,[63] which Feige soon confirmed. Feige added that Marvel Studios had a release timeframe in mind for the film.[64] In November, Beetz and Rob Delaney expressed interest in returning as their Deadpool 2 characters Domino and Peter,[65][66] but Beetz ultimately did not return for the third film.[67] Also in November, Reynolds said they were "plugging away" at the film.[68]

Levy was revealed to be directing the film in March 2022,[69][70] and said filming would not begin until after 2022 due to his busy schedule through the remainder of the year.[71] Reese and Wernick were hired to rewrite the screenplay,[69][70] and said they were excited to use MCU elements in the film. They added that Disney and Marvel were supportive of jokes about the MCU that they were writing for Deadpool given the success of the previous films. They would not confirm whether they were starting from scratch or reworking the previous draft by the Molyneux sisters.[72] In June, Raymond Chan was revealed to be the production designer after working on the Disney+ MCU television series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021).[73] Feige said in July that the film would be elevated from the first two in a similar way to other third installments of MCU film series, such as Captain America: Civil War (2016), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), and Avengers: Infinity War (2018).[74]

Levy and Reynolds worked on the script with Reese, Wernick, and Zeb Wells,[5] who previously worked on the MCU miniseries She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022) and Marvel Zombies (2024), and the film The Marvels (2023).[75][76] They all began to feel that they did not have an original story that was not derivative of the other Deadpool films. Levy explained that they felt the film had to be "deserving" of being the first Deadpool film set within the MCU, while still feeling "grounded because this is an earthbound, gritty, realistic superhero franchise". Levy and Reynolds were prepared to suggest to Feige that the film not move forward at that time because of the trouble they had landing on a story idea,[5] with executive producer Wendy Jacobson also stating that Marvel was struggling to settle on a core idea for the film.[57] In August 2022, Jackman reached out to Reynolds about wanting to be part of the film. Reynolds was preparing for a meeting with Feige to discuss how to proceed given their lack of story ideas, and realized that including Wolverine would solve many of the issues they were coming up against.[49][5] Jackman had a change of heart, after being content with his decision to retire as Wolverine for several years, and decided that a team-up film with Reynolds "could be so much fun; I'll probably have more fun on that movie than anything I've ever done".[10][49] Feige advised Jackman not to return, as he felt Wolverine's death in Logan was the "greatest ending in history" and did not want to undo that. He was won over by the idea that Jackman would portray a new version of Wolverine, and Jackman confirmed that he wanted to return after taking a long drive to think about it.[9]

Reynolds announced in September 2022 that Jackman would return as Wolverine for Deadpool 3, which was set for release on September 6, 2024.[7] The pair said the film would avoid affecting the events of Logan by using a narrative device from Marvel Studios that allowed different versions of characters to move around timelines.[77][78] Levy said preserving Logan's legacy was top priority for the creative team.[5] Jackman reached out to Logan director James Mangold to inform him of the film's story and said Mangold was both enthusiastic about the idea and relieved that Logan would not be impacted.[10] Alongside Feige, Reynolds and Levy produced the film through their respective production companies Maximum Effort and 21 Laps Entertainment,[79][80][81] as did X-Men film producer Lauren Shuler Donner.[82] Simon Kinberg served as an executive producer after producing the previous Deadpool films and some X-Men films.[83][84][85] He said the film had been authored by Levy, Reynolds, and Feige, and they all cared deeply about Logan, Deadpool, and Wolverine.[84] Levy added that the legacies of Deadpool and Wolverine informed the film's story and themes.[3] Jackman said the film may not be titled Deadpool 3,[49] with Reynolds later referring to it as "The Deadpool/Wolverine film",[86] and Jackman referring to it as Wolverine and Deadpool.[87] Levy said the creative team were discussing multiple options for the title, and he had at times referred to it as Deadpool Versus Wolverine, Deadpool and Wolverine, and Deadpool 3 with Wolverine.[88] The film's official title was announced as Deadpool & Wolverine in February 2024,[89] with Levy acknowledging that it was the third Deadpool film but he did not want to call it Deadpool 3 because it is a "two-hander character adventure" that focuses on both characters.[90] Despite this, Reynolds said the film was tonally still a Deadpool film, with violence, swearing, and "meta mayhem". He called it "the most Deadpool movie in the history of Deadpool".[91]

Pre-production[edit | edit source]

Pre-production work began by October 2022,[92] less than two months after Jackman decided to join the film. Jacobson said this was one of the fastest turnarounds she had seen for a big production.[57] Filming was expected to begin in January 2023 in Vancouver.[93] In mid-October, the film's release date was pushed back to November 8, 2024.[94] Reynolds said the next month that filming would begin in mid-2023,[95] and Levy confirmed in December that filming was set to begin that May. He said developing the film was one of the most fun creative experiences of his career, citing the film's self-awareness, violence, and foul language.[96] Levy said he did not want to alter the franchise's DNA from the prior films and called the new film "raw, audacious, [and] very much R-rated", comparing it to the buddy comedy films Midnight Run (1988), 48 Hrs., and Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987).[97]

Patrick Stewart, who portrayed Charles Xavier / Professor X in the X-Men film series and reprised the role in the MCU film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), had been approached about potentially making an appearance in the film by February 2023.[98] Later that month, filming was set to take place in London,[99] and Emma Corrin joined the cast in a lead villain role. Marvel had been considering Corrin since late 2022 but had to work through scheduling issues with their other commitments before they signed on.[79] Corrin was cast after Levy saw their performance in a stage production of Virginia Woolf's Orlando.[14] In March, the Time Variance Authority (TVA), Mobius M. Mobius (portrayed by Owen Wilson), and Miss Minutes (voiced by Tara Strong) from the MCU television series Loki (2021–2023) were reported to be featured in the film.[100] Later that month, Matthew Macfadyen joined the cast in an undisclosed role,[101] which was described as a third wheel to Deadpool and Wolverine.[102] Karan Soni and Leslie Uggams were set to reprise their roles as Dopinder and Blind Al from the previous Deadpool films.[21] In early April, Morena Baccarin said she was in negotiations to reprise her Deadpool role as Vanessa Carlysle,[103] and she was confirmed to be returning later that month along with Stefan Kapičić as the voice of Colossus.[23] The following month, Delaney, Brianna Hildebrand, and Shioli Kutsuna were revealed to be reprising their respective roles as Peter Wisdom, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Yukio.[20][22]

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool (left) and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (right) in the film. Reynolds's costume was updated from the previous Deadpool films,[104] while Jackman wore a comics-accurate Wolverine costume for the first time.[105]

Graham Churchyard and Mayes C. Rubeo were the film's costume designers.[106] Jackman wears a yellow and blue costume similar to Wolverine's costumes from X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–1997) and the comic books,[105][107] specifically Astonishing X-Men volume 3 (2004–2013) drawn by John Cassaday;[108] it also features elements of the character's 1970s design by John Romita Sr. and Dave Cockrum and the 1990s design by Jim Lee.[109] Jackman did not wear a comics-accurate costume in the X-Men film series, though it was referenced in X-Men (2000) and a deleted scene from The Wolverine (2013).[105] The film was therefore an opportunity to see Jackman in a comics-accurate costume for the first time,[9] and Levy felt this could be the last chance for Jackman to wear such a costume. They went through several iterations and fittings to get the suit right.[110] Jackman said putting the suit on "looked so right [and] felt so right" and he questioned why he had not worn such a costume for the previous X-Men films.[9] An early reveal of the costume was met with positive reactions online,[109][111][112][113] and led some commentators to determine that Jackman was portraying a different iteration of the character in the film from the one he portrayed in the X-Men films.[112][114] Reynolds also has an updated costume from the previous Deadpool films,[107] featuring a brighter shade of red and larger black circles on his mask. This is reminiscent of the character's comic book design from the 1990s.[104] Levy was pleased with the "overwhelmingly positive" response to the suit designs, which were revealed early due to production occurring on location.[110]

Filming[edit | edit source]

Principal photography began on May 22, 2023, in London and at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England,[115][116][117] under the working title Tidal Wave.[118] George Richmond served as the cinematographer after working with Levy and Reynolds on Free Guy.[119] Reynolds lobbied Marvel Studios to film in Vancouver, where he is from and the previous Deadpool films were made, but conceded that "they have their [established] infrastructure, and you just have to sort of fall in line".[120] However, a United States Copyright Office filing for the film indicated that some filming did occur in Vancouver.[121] Levy worked with Marvel Studios and the producers of the Netflix series Stranger Things (2016–present), on which he was an executive producer, to allow him to direct for that series' final season since the schedules for the two projects were expected to overlap.[122][123]

Filming was not expected to be impacted by the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike that began in early May, outside of Reynolds being unable to contribute to the script during filming as he had done for the previous films. Marvel Studios was reportedly planning to shoot what they could during principal photography and make any necessary writing adjustments during the film's already scheduled reshoots.[124] The film was shot on location where possible, to create a more grounded feeling than can be achieved with soundstages.[97][110][125] In June, the film's release date was moved forward to May 3, 2024.[126] Filming for a car crash scene took place on location in London in early July 2023.[127] Shortly after, Jennifer Garner was revealed to be appearing in the film as Elektra after portraying a version of that character in the Fox-produced film Daredevil (2003) and its spin-off Elektra (2005);[27] Garner denied her involvement.[128] Filming with Reynolds and Jackman took place in Norfolk.[129]

Production was suspended on July 14, 2023, because of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[130] 35 days of filming were completed prior to the shutdown, with another 35 days left.[97][131] Filming was set to resume following the conclusion of the dual Hollywood strikes.[97] Disney paid to keep the film's sets intact during the strike.[132] Levy and Reynolds were able to edit what had been shot and begin work on the visual effects,[133][132] though they had not prioritized filming major visual effects sequences before the strike.[131] Prior to the strike, Baccarin completed filming all of her scenes,[134] and Levy shot a sequence that he likened to the lightsaber duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi (1983). He asked the film's stunt team to look to that scene's blocking, tempo, and framing for their scene.[135] Levy acknowledged some of the casting rumors surrounding the film—including Garner appearing as Elektra, Liev Schreiber returning as Sabretooth from X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), and Taylor Swift making a cameo appearance as Dazzler—and said some of them were true, but would not confirm which ones.[110][133] Swift was later stated to not be appearing in the film.[136] Levy said the characters that were included, such as Aaron Stanford reprising his role as Pyro from X2 (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), were added as the story developed rather than being based on a wishlist of characters and cameos that the producers wanted to include.[12] They did not want cameos or "global MCU stakes" to be the focus of the film, and were able to include "deep-cut" references to Marvel's history because Deadpool can serve as a Marvel fan through his fourth wall-breaking.[3] Soni said several cameos were intended to be a surprise for the audience.[137]

The film, along with others that were mid-way through production at the start of the strikes, was said to be a top priority for the studios to resume production following the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike.[138] In October 2023, Levy questioned if the film would be able to retain its May 2024 release date given the SAG-AFTRA strike was still ongoing at that time,[133] shortly before it was reported that the film was likely to be delayed to a date later in 2024 even if filming was able to resume by the start of that year.[139] After the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike on November 9, filming was expected to resume in London within the following two weeks before Thanksgiving.[132][140] Reynolds announced that the character Dogpool would appear in the film,[28] played by dog actor Peggy,[29] and the film's release date was pushed back to July 26, 2024.[141] Filming resumed by November 23.[142] Levy said his time editing and reviewing footage during the strikes allowed him to gain a better understanding of the film, and he was able to return to work without feeling rushed and with a focus on what was needed to complete it.[143]

In early December 2023, set photos revealed that the characters Sabretooth and Toad were appearing in the film. They resembled their appearances in the film X-Men in which they were respectively portrayed by Tyler Mane and Ray Park;[144][31][145] Mane was confirmed to be reprising his role as Sabretooth in a trailer released in June 2024.[26] Set photos also revealed a giant 20th Century Fox logo set piece.[125] Reynolds commented shortly after about the set photo leaks, saying they created a difficult situation for the production and expressing his hope that websites would stop publishing unfinished, out-of-context leaked images to "preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen".[125] He noted that the franchise is associated with leaks since the first Deadpool film was able to be made following a leak of its original test footage. Reynolds proceeded to post faux leaked images featuring Mickey Mouse, Predator, and Steve Urkel, along with various hashtags to try to alter the social media algorithm around the actual leaked photos since platforms prioritize posts from high-profile accounts.[146]

Rob McElhenney, Reynolds' co-chairman of Wrexham A.F.C., visited the set to film a cameo appearance while also discussing matters for their football team given Reynolds' filming schedule. This visit was captured by the Welcome to Wrexham (2022–present) documentary series, which showed McElhenney wearing a TVA agent uniform.[35][147] At the end of December, Bona Film Group signed a deal with TSG Entertainment to invest in a slate of films, including the Deadpool franchise.[148] In early January 2024, Variety reported that the film would include several characters from prior Fox-produced Marvel films and that it was expected to take a similar approach to Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), which features multiple characters from past Spider-Man films coming together.[149] Set photos at the end of the month showed Reynolds wearing a samurai-inspired Deadpool costume.[150] Filming, which also took place at Bovingdon Film Studios,[151] wrapped on January 24.[152] Soni said the film was "taking full advantage of the MCU" and would feature jokes about Feige.[153]

Post-production[edit | edit source]

The teaser trailer released in February 2024 revealed that Macfadyen was portraying TVA agent Mr. Paradox,[17] Randal Reeder and Lewis Tan were reprising their respective roles as Buck and Shatterstar from the previous Deadpool films,[24][154] and Stanford was returning as Pyro.[25][12] The copyright filing for the film confirmed that Garner was appearing as Elektra and revealed Corrin's role to be Cassandra Nova.[121][12] In March, Vinnie Jones said he was asked to reprise his role as Juggernaut from The Last Stand in the film, but a deal could not be agreed upon, and Jones said there was not enough budget to create the Juggernaut suit for him to wear on set.[155] The first official trailer was released the following month and revealed that the creature Alioth from Loki was appearing in the film, along with the characters Lady Deathstrike and Azazel. The latter two resembled Kelly Hu and Jason Flemyng, who portrayed those characters in X2 and X-Men: First Class (2011), respectively.[8]

At the end of April 2024, Levy said he was busy finishing work on the film.[143] Early screenings of the film had taken place, which he described as "extremely, extremely promising", with the main changes coming from them being pacing adjustments.[156] He added that despite the film's multiverse connections and use of elements from other projects, such as the TVA from Loki, he did not expect audiences to do homework before watching the film and intended for it to be an entertaining experience on its own.[143] Post-production was completed on June 19, 2024.[157] The next month, Jon Favreau was revealed to be reprising his MCU role as Happy Hogan in the film.[6] Dean Zimmerman and Shane Reid edited the film,[158] while Swen Gillberg served as the visual effects supervisor.[159] Visual effects were provided by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Framestore, Base FX, Barnstorm VFX, Raynault VFX, Rising Sun Pictures, and Wētā FX.[159]

Music[edit | edit source]

Rob Simonsen was hired to compose the film's score by mid-July 2023. He previously worked with Levy on The Adam Project and the fourth season of Stranger Things.[160] The song "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC is featured in the film.[6]

Marketing[edit | edit source]

A teaser trailer for the film was released during Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024. Nick Romano from Entertainment Weekly said the trailer confirmed the film's R rating and the fact that Deadpool would be "infiltrating" the MCU.[89] Austin Goslin of Polygon also highlighted the use of MCU elements and questioned whether Reynolds was playing the same version of Deadpool as he did in the previous films, due to how happy he is at the start of the trailer.[161] Wired's Angela Wattercutter noted a sexually explicit pegging joke in the trailer, a first for the MCU. Wattercutter speculated that the film could expand upon queer themes previously explored in Loki and the MCU Thor films.[162] The trailer's inclusion of the Secret Wars (2015) #5 comic book issue was also discussed, given that Marvel Studios had announced the film Avengers: Secret Wars (2027).[163][164][165] Shortly after the trailer's premiere, Jackman posted a tongue-in-cheek jab at Reynolds with a modified logo displaying "Wolverine & Asshole".[166] The trailer had 365 million global views in its first 24 hours, surpassing the record of Spider-Man: No Way Home (355.5 million views) to become the most-viewed trailer in that time period.[82] The reported views included the 123 million Super Bowl viewers who saw a 30-second version of the trailer.[167]

A "silence your phones" public service announcement (PSA) with Deadpool and Wolverine opened Disney's presentation at CinemaCon in April 2024, during which Feige and Levy debuted nine minutes of footage from the film. The Hollywood Reporter said this "drew the biggest laughter" of all the presentations at the convention.[168] It included repurposed Thor: The Dark World (2013) footage of Chris Hemsworth as Thor, who is mourning the supposed death of Deadpool rather than Loki as seen in that film.[18][32] The PSA was later released publicly.[169] An official trailer debuted on April 22, set to "Like a Prayer" by Madonna.[170] A trailer released on May 20, 2024, announcing ticket pre-sales included a QR code that led to a video of Reynolds reading a disclaimer for the film.[171] At the end of the month, a special popcorn bucket for the film's theatrical release was revealed,[172] after Feige had said it would be "intentionally crude and lewd". This was inspired by the viral popcorn bucket for Dune: Part Two (2024).[173] The bucket is shaped like Wolverine's head with a "comically oversized" mouth for the popcorn or other snacks. A video reveal, set to the "Also sprach Zarathustra" fanfare which was famously used in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), shows Deadpool caressing the bucket as popcorn falls into its mouth and butter drips down its nose.[172]

A teaser released in early June revealed that the character Lady Deadpool would appear in the film, prompting speculation about who played the role,[30] while Reynolds appeared as Deadpool in a "typically irreverent video" at CineEurope later that month to introduce 12 minutes of footage from the film.[174] The cast went on a global marketing tour for the film starting in early July. The stops included: Shanghai, where Reynolds, Jackman, and Levy attended a fan event to screen 35 minutes of the film to attendees;[175][176][177] Seoul, where the actors appeared at the 2024 Waterbomb Festival in Seoul;[178] Berlin,[176] where the trio were joined by Corrin and attended the UEFA Euro 2024 quarterfinals match between Netherlands and Turkey;[179][180] and London, where the four actors and Levy were joined by Delaney, dog actor Peggy, and Marvel Studios executives Louis D'Esposito and Wendy Jacobson.[181][182] Additionally, United Kingdom music and entertainment retailer HMV temporarily altered their logo for featuring the dog Nipper at one of their stores to be Dogpool, timed to the event.[182] Deadpool and Wolverine appeared in a Bachelorette-related ad on July 8 during the season 21 premiere, to entice the Bachelor Nation audience (the 18–49 female demographic) to see the film. The ad was from Maximum Effort, Loon Productions, and Really Original, and was directed by Oren Brimer. Reynolds also posted on social media to discuss his thoughts on the premiere.[183]

Marketing partners for the film included Reynolds's Aviation Gin,[184] Heineken,[185] DiGiorno,[186] Jack in the Box,[187] SuperX,[188] Hot Topic,[189] and Homage.[190] Funko and Hot Toys produced action figures of characters from the film,[191][192][193] while Funko will also allow attendees at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con to be able to create personalized versions of their Funko Pop! figures modeled after Deadpool and Wolverine with various exclusives.[194] Variant covers featuring production stills and promotional images from the film will be available on issues of Deadpool #3 in June 2024, Deadpool #4 and Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII #3 in July, and Deadpool #5, Deadpool Team-Up #1, and Wolverine: Revenge #1 in August.[195]

Release[edit | edit source]

Deadpool & Wolverine is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 16, 2024, as part of Phase One of the MCU.

Box office projections[edit | edit source]

Fandango announced that ticket pre-sales for the film were the best of 2024, the franchise's best, and the best for an R-rated film on the site, while AMC Theatres announced that 200,000 people bought first-day tickets at AMC, the most sales for any R-rated film at the theater chain. The Hollywood Reporter reported that first-day ticket sales were likely around $8–9 million and felt the film would debut at over $100 million, something no 2024 film release had done by late May.[196] The Quorum, which looks at box office projections for films as early as six weeks ahead of release, projected the film would open between $200–239 million. They said these were conservative projections and it was likely to open higher. Deadline Hollywood noted that no R-rated film had ever opened domestically over $200 million, with the record opening for an R-rated film being the first Deadpool with $132.4 million.[197] Three weeks ahead of release, multiple tracking services projected the film would open between $160–165 million, which would still be a record opening for an R-rated film and the best opening for a 2024 release. Deadline Hollywood said Disney was expecting an opening in this range, and added that presale tickets was at $19 million. Quorum reaffirmed its projection of a $200+ million opening at that time.[175]
