After a long strike-related shutdown, the third Deadpool movie is back in production over in Merry Ol’ England. It was halfway through filming when the strikes meant they had to pull the plug. It is the highest-profile movie to manage to get back up and running again. For such a big project to be mobilized again in just over two weeks is a big achievement.
Marvel Studios executive Wendy Jacobson posted on Instagram to confirm that cameras are rolling again:
“This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the gifts of being back at work and watching the sun rise from set today.”
The Shawn Levy-directed will now be the only Marvel Studios film opening in 2024. Sony will be leading the Marvel game next year with Madame Web, Kraven the Hunter, and Venom 3 all hitting theaters.
It has the task of integrating Deadpool with the MCU while retaining the R rating of the previous films. Reprising their roles from the previous Deadpool films are Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Wilson’s blind elderly roommate; Karan Soni as Dopinder, a taxi driver and admirer of Wilson who serves as his de facto chauffeur; Stefan Kapičić as the voice of Colossus, a member of the X-Men with the mutant ability to transform his entire body into organic steel; Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio, Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s girlfriend and fellow X-Men member, and Rob Delaney as Peter, a member of Wilson’s “X-Force” team. Additionally, Emma Corrin has been cast in a lead villain role, and Matthew Macfadyen is cast in an undisclosed role. Dogpool is set to appear in the film.
Deadpool 3 is currently slated to release on July 26th, 2024.
