Expect chaos, action, and laughter on the big screen.
Deadpool 3, also known as Deadpool and Wolverine, is going to be memorable. An iconic X-Men character is returning to the MCU for this movie. It’s Disney’s first R-rated superhero in the same cinematic universe as Spider-Man. Deadpool 3 is the only MCU movie scheduled for release in 2024.
With just a few months left until the movie Deadpool and Wolverine hits theaters, our excitement is sky-high. Here’s everything you need to know about the cast, plot, release date, and trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine.
What’s the Release Date of Deadpool and Wolverine?
Deadpool & Wolverine is now set to release on July 26, 2024. Its original release date of November 8, 2024, was moved up. Ryan Reynolds initially announced a September 2024 release. But it was rescheduled, possibly due to production delays on Blade. Director Shawn Levy said production wouldn’t start until 2023 due to his other commitments. The project faced further delays due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Ryan Reynolds announced in 2022 that the Deadpool and Wolverine movies would be part of MCU Phase 5. The release schedule places them eight months after The Marvels (November 2023) and seven months before Captain America: Brave New World (July 2024). Deadpool and Wolverine will be the only MCU movie of 2024. This reflects Marvel Studios’ plan to space out releases and reduce yearly output.
The Plot Details of Deadpool and Wolverine
The first trailer for the Deadpool and Wolverine movie depicts Deadpool getting recruited by the TVA and guided by Paradox, similar to how Mobius captured Loki in Loki season 1. Deadpool might end up in the void, where he’ll meet, fight, and befriend a Wolverine variant. Multiverse chaos could happen as Deadpool and Wolverine enter the MCU. We might see various variants of known Marvel characters from past MCU and non-MCU movies and shows making small appearances.
The second trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine reveals more about how the titular pair come together. It suggests that Wade is assigned to bring Wolverine to the TVA. They might end up in the void together, or Deadpool might change his mind and ally with another Wolverine variant. Deadpool is told that the Wolverine in the TVA scene “let down his entire world.” This suggests he may have caused the destruction of his universe, explaining why he might team up with Deadpool to prevent multiverse stakes.
The second trailer shows Wolverine confronting Cassandra Nova, Charles Xavier’s twin sister and a prominent X-Men villain. This suggests Cassandra will be a villain in Deadpool & Wolverine. The depiction shows her with a base inside a giant version of Ant-Man‘s skull and helmet. Logan’s older and more jaded portrayal hints at a possible adaptation of the Old Man Logan comic storyline.
On January 29, 2024, the production team released the first official synopsis for Deadpool & Wolverine. It reads,
The irresponsible hero Deadpool will change the history of the MCU with Wolverine!?
This suggests that the movie will alter parts of the MCU’s timeline. It opens the possibility of the X-Gene being introduced into the MCU’s past. The concept of the multiverse could also introduce famous mutant characters.
