Production
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.
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.
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.
Pre-production
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.
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.
By the end of 2019, filming was expected to begin in mid-2020. In April 2020, Sony rescheduled No Way Home's release to November 5, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
Music
In November 2023, composer Tyler Bates was confirmed to be returning for Deadpool.
Marketing
A trailer was released on December 17, 2023 and confirmed the release date of February 8, 2024.
Release
Deadpool was released on February 8, 2024, as part of Phase One of the MCU.
Reception
Sequel
In June 2023, it was announced that a sequel to the first film in the MCU was in development.
