Ryan Reynolds Says DEADPOOL 3 is Like a "Tightrope Walk" in Which They're Finding a Way to Service Each of the Film's Stars

Fans of the Deadpool franchise were already stoked for Deadpool 3 to hit the screen, seeing as this will be the Merc with a Mouth’s first film within the Marvel Universe. But expectations and excitement went through the roof when it was revealed by Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, that this next movie will also star Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine!

In a recent interview with The Wrap, Reynolds talked about making this movie with such high fan expectations, saying that while the tone of the film will be a “tightrope walk,” he thinks the chaotic blend of these two personalities will make for an incredibly satisfying meal.

“I think it’s a tightrope walk. I mean most of these movies are always a tightrope walk of tone, so in this instance, though, you have a collision of two pretty iconic characters that exist in the Marvel Ancillary Universe [laughs] — we’re in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point.”

When asked what the tone of Deadpool 3 might feel like, Reynolds ensured that audiences will get an authentic Deadpool and an authentic Wolverine in the same movie, adding:

“It’s really kind of finding a way to service both of these characters that feels extraordinarily authentic to each of them, and I think these two wrongs actually will make a right in a pretty great way.”

We can’t wait! I loved the first two Deadpool movies, and I love the real-life frenemy banter Reynolds and Jackman share. The film will be rated R, a first for the MCU, and it is being directed by Shawn Levy (Free Guy, The Adam Project, Stranger Things). Production is set to begin later this year, with a theatrical release in 2024.
