Deadpool 3 is one of the most anticipated superhero films of the next few years, and details about its production have begun to surface. According to a report from Midgard Times, pre-production on the film has already started, and filming is scheduled to begin on May 22 at Pinewood Studios in London and Vancouver. Ryan Reynolds is set to reprise his role as the Merc With a Mouth, and Hugh Jackman's iconic portrayal of Wolverine is confirmed to be making his MCU debut in the film. This news is exciting for Marvel fans, as Jackman previously played the character in the X-Men film franchise.
Deadpool 3 will be the first Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance of the Merc With a Mouth, which is a significant milestone for the character and the franchise. Per the report, the plotline for Deadpool 3 involves "Deadpool using Cable's time machine to travel into the future to save Wolverine from dying. Logan does not know who that guy is and wants him gone but using a time machine and changing history gets them on the TVA's radar." The TVA was introduced in the Loki series and its inclusion in Deadpool 3 suggests that the film will explore the concept of time travel in more detail. Owen Wilson, who played Mobius M. Mobius in Loki, is reportedly part of the Deadpool 3 cast.
Kevin Feige Reflects on the Journey with Hugh Jackman and Anticipates His Return
After years of speculation, it was finally confirmed that Hugh Jackman will be returning to the role of Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool 3. The popular character has been a staple of the X-Men film franchise, and Jackman's portrayal of the character is considered by many to be definitive. Fans have been clamoring for his return since he retired from the role after the 2017 film Logan, and the news that he will be back has been met with excitement and anticipation.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kevin Feige expressed his sentimental feelings about his previous work on an X-Men movie where he had the opportunity to work with Hugh Jackman. Kevin mentioned that it's amazing to see how things have evolved over the years, especially with Hugh Jackman coming back for the first R-rated Deadpool film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
"It’s amazing. And we’ve got Hugh Jackman coming back for our first Deadpool film within the MCU. That’s our first R-rated film. To have Hugh come back is incredible. For me, personally, that is where I started. I remember sitting behind the camera — well behind the camera — at his audition for the film. It was his first on-set audition, and he flew up to Toronto to do a read with Anna Paquin. For him, and for me, and I think for all of the fans of Marvel, it’s unbelievable what has happened in those 23 years. It’s very full-circle having him come back in this new Deadpool film."
The emotional journey that Jackman's return as Wolverine will take audiences on is sure to be a major selling point for Deadpool 3. The two characters have a long history in the comics, and their on-screen chemistry in previous X-Men movies was a highlight for many fans. The fact that they will be teaming up in an R-rated movie promises to be an exciting and emotional experience.
