Answering the prayers of Marvel followers in all places, Deadpool 3 is now formally filming. On Could 23, the Merc with the Mouth’s first MCU outing began going earlier than cameras, marking Ryan Reynolds’ third solo movie as Wade Wilson. Though, in fact, his historical past with the character dates again even additional than 2016’s Deadpool, as his X-Males origins really got here in, uh, 2009’s X-Males Origins: Wolverine.
That broadly panned providing noticed him share the display screen with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine for the primary time, a team-up that’s now lastly taking place once more all these years later. It’s relatively eerie, then, that Deadpool 3 is starting its manufacturing at a time of upheaval in Hollywood… simply as was the case when Origins was capturing approach again when.
Twitter person @kickassvargas went viral for stating that it’s “very poetic that the second time Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are in manufacturing collectively as these characters is as soon as once more happening throughout a Writers’ Strike.”
That is naturally setting alarm bells ringing, then, as people concern we’ve acquired one other stinker like Origins on our palms. Whereas it’s true that the rulers of the present Writers Guild of America strike imply Reynolds can’t replace the script as he goes alongside, like he did on the primary two movies, Deadpool 3 ought to handle to scrape by largely unscathed as he already accomplished the script alongside director Shawn Levy and co-writer Zeb Wells previous to the strike taking impact.
And therein lies the actual motive hardcore Marvel followers ought to maybe be involved about how the threequel will finally be perceived. It simply so occurs that the aforementioned Wells is the author of Marvel Comics’ present Wonderful Spider-Man run, which simply turned probably the most controversial comedian in years for killing off Ms. Marvel… simply months earlier than her huge cinematic debut in The Marvels.
Even earlier than that, Wells’ run on Spider-Man earned widespread criticism from followers as a result of its surprising (some would say uncharacteristic) character developments and plot twists. Sadly, scribes akin to Michael Waldron (Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity) and Jeff Loveness (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania) have earned a number of fan ire of late. Let’s hope Wells escapes that destiny, however realizing the general public opinion on his comics run some blowback on his Deadpool 3 work appears believable.
Deadpool 3 is scheduled for launch on Nov. 8, 2024.
