Hugh Jackman is set to reprise his iconic role as Wolverine, joining forces with Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson in Deadpool 3, a project that no one could have foreseen.
Under the direction of Shawn Levy, known for his recent work on Free Guy, the third Deadpool film promises a fresh dynamism to the franchise. With Disney acquiring the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four in 2019, Deadpool 3 becomes a massive moment for mutants, officially integrating them into the vast tapestry of the MCU.
Marvel Studios head, Kevin Feige, has confirmed that Deadpool 3 will indeed be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although the exact extent of its integration remains a tantalizing mystery. As we’ve witnessed in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the ongoing Multiverse Saga has defied expectations by weaving characters from different Spider-Man timelines together. Similarly, Deadpool 3 may explore a crossover of characters from the 20th Century timelines and the MCU, although concrete details elude us at this stage.
