Deadpool 2 arrived on our screens in 2018 with fans eager for a follow-up. A lot has happened in the world since then but finally, Deadpool 3 has gone into production. Or it had before the writer’s strikes shut down Hollywood and in turn the Marvel sequel. So what is going on? Well, here’s everything we know about the current state of the movie.
Deadpool 3 story
Nothing has been officially confirmed regarding the movie’s plot, but there has been plenty of rumours and leaks to piece together. What we know for definite is that it will feature Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine. His last outing was in the brutal Logan.
Current leaks suggest the film will follow a similar vein to other Marvel movies, introducing a multiverse story arc. This could very well see Deadpool and Wolverine variants.

Is Deadpool 3 coming out soon?
To put it bluntly, no. When Ryan Reynolds initially announced the sequel he gave a 2024 release window. Disney then followed up with a 3rd May 2024 release date. That date is now up in the air due to the writer’s strike, with production now indefinitely halted due to the ongoing walkouts.
Naturally, a Disney+ release would also happen. Normally a month or so after the theatrical release, that’s also now on hiatus for the foreseeable future.
Why did Deadpool 3 stop filming?
As reported by the likes of Variety, filming has stopped because of the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike. The union represents 160,000+ actors, announcers and media professionals. All of whom are striking for better pay and improved working conditions.
Currently, it’s unclear as to how long the strike will last and whether it’ll affect the current release date.
Is Scarlet Witch in Deadpool 3?
Recent rumours began circulating online that Wanda Maximoff’s Scarlet Witch would be appearing in the movie. Currently, that seems like a hoax. There has been no official confirmation or any corroboration regarding the rumour.
Will Wolverine wear the mask in Deadpool 3?
This a question comic book fans would love the film to answer. The reason is, in all of Jackman’s portrayals of Wolverine, he’s never actually worn the iconic mask from the comic books. As you can see from the recent image of him with Deadpool, he’s got the classic yellow suit on, so maybe, just maybe there’s a piece of headgear to match.
