New DEADPOOL 3 Set Photo Teases Wild Connection to 20th Century Fox
With Deadpool 3 deep in production the set photos continue to roll out! Yesterday, Ryan Reynolds shared one of his own features Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine hanging out and Wolverine was wearing his classic yellow costume! That was certainly an exciting photo that got fans pumped up!
Now, today we’ve got a new photo to share with you teasing the film’s shocking connection to 20th Century Fox. This is the setting for a brawl involving Wolverine and Deadpool, and it includes the ruins of the 20th Century Fox logo in the background.
This is obviously referencing the studio that produced all of the X-Men films before Disney bought them, and it confirms that Deadpool 3 is going to be referencing its predecessors in a very big and meta way. This gonna be good!
I can see this movie being a journey for Deadpool and Wolverine as they make their way from 20th Century Fox to Marvel Studios’ MCU. Reynolds previously shared a Deadpool and Wolverine plot that was being planned before Disney bought Fox, saying, “was gonna be a road trip between Deadpool and Logan. Rashomon style. For real.” Maybe it is that, as they make their journey to the MCU.
When previously talking about the version of Wolverine that this movie will include, Reynolds explained it will be very different from what we're used to: "What we pitched [Jackman] was enough of a divergence from the character that he knows and the character that he’s left behind, that it gives him something completely new to play and something that he’s really excited to do."
There will be two different versions of Wolverine in the movie, so that’s going to be interesting. It was also recently confirmed that Jennifer Garner will return as Elektra in the movie and there are reports that several other X-Men characters could appear such as Halle Berry as Storm, Famke Janssen as Jean Grey, and James Marsden returning to play Cyclops! There are also reports that Ben Affleck will be showing up in the movie as Daredevil and Channing Tatum appearing as Gambit. It was also previously reported that Deadpool 3 will feature more than two variants of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and two variants of Wolverine.
The movie is being directed by Shawn Levy, and the movie also stars Emma Corrin as the villain, Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic as Vanessa and Colossus, Matthew Macfadyen in an unknown role, Karan Soni as Dopinder, and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al. They are joined by Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna will also return to the franchise as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s girlfriend Yukio.
Deadpool 3 is currently slated to open in theaters on May 3, 2024.
