In a thrilling turn of events, fans of the Deadpool franchise can now eagerly anticipate the arrival of the first trailer for Deadpool 3, set to make its debut during the highly anticipated Super Bowl. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, just as excited as the rest of us, teased the sequel's arrival by proudly sporting a baseball cap adorned with a Deadpool 3 logo at the recent Saturn Awards event.
During the gala, held by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, Feige donned a cap that showcased a captivating mash-up of the irreverent Merc With a Mouth and the iconic Wolverine, to be played once again by the beloved Hugh Jackman. The logo cleverly merges Deadpool's mask with a comic-book-accurate representation of Wolverine's mask, executed in a delightfully simple style.
While we have already caught a glimpse of Jackman donning a yellow-and-blue Wolverine costume for Deadpool 3, the mask has remained a mystery until now. Judging by the logo, fans can expect a mask true to the comics, featuring the characteristic black fins and striking white eyes.
Confirmed to be the first R-rated movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Deadpool 3 promises to deliver the same audaciousness and 'big swings' that have become trademarks of the franchise's third installments – akin to the likes of Civil War, Infinity War, and Ragnarok, as described by Feige himself. Basking in the world of the irreverent Ryan Reynolds show has proven to be an absolute delight for the Marvel Studios head.
While the Super Bowl trailer is anticipated to drop soon, it's in true Deadpool fashion that it may not reveal too much about the plot. However, what we do know thus far is that Ryan Reynolds will reprise his role as the hilarious yet lethal Deadpool, while Hugh Jackman will once again embody the fierce Wolverine. The duo is set to embark on a dimension-spanning adventure, exploring the vast multiverse.
With the introduction of the multiverse, the stage is set for a glorious parade of cameos in Deadpool 3. Fans can expect appearances from beloved characters of prior franchises such as the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and the X-Men, among others. The sheer number of cameos in the film has astonished director Shawn Levy, who expressed gratitude for the ease with which these crossovers have come together.
Levy exclaimed, 'What blew my mind is how easy some of those cameos have been. People love Deadpool. People love Ryan [Reynolds]. Thankfully, people also seem to like my work. They know that Ryan and I are in a groove of creative brotherhood that is unique and seems to be working.'
With a slew of casting rumors circulating, it's become nearly impossible to distinguish fact from fiction. Levy teasingly disclosed that in addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, other well-known actors such as Matthew McFadyen and Emma Corrin are part of the film's star-studded cast.
Mark your calendars, as Deadpool 3 is currently slated for release on July 26, 2024, as part of Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The sequel promises to be a wild ride through the multiverse, filled with outrageous humor, jaw-dropping action, and a plethora of long-awaited cameos. Fans can expect Deadpool's irreverence and charm to propel this R-rated extravaganza to new heights.
