Hugh Jackman will enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe alongside Ryan Reynolds in "Deadpool 3," due out in theaters Sept. 6, 2024.
Deadpool is one of several comic book properties that Disney acquired when it bought 20th Century Fox in 2019. That's probably why Disney has agreed to let "Deadpool 3" be rated R, even though the rest of the MCU filmography is rated PG-13 or lower. - Deadpool is one of several comic book properties that Disney acquired when it bought 20th Century Fox in 2019.
Deadpool 3 brings Ryan Reynolds' wisecracking mercenary to Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he's bringing Hugh Jackman and Wolverine with him.
But it seems like Jackman just couldn’t say no to another spin with the adamantium claws, especially when it was Reynolds and Feige that were bringing the invitation.

Surely, Deadpool himself will bring up that awkward encounter in his next film. But they do have one trick up their sleeve, Reynolds says, and that’s when Hugh Jackman walks by in the background. Deadpool 3’s development apparently predates the Fox-Disney deal, which closed in early 2019. But Reynolds reveals that Deadpool 3 is on the way, and more importantly that Hugh Jackman will be reprising his role as Wolverine for the film.
“Hey everyone, we're extremely sad to have missed D23, but we've been working very hard on the next 'Deadpool' film for a good long while now,” Reynolds says in ...
The “Deadpool” star first appeared as the character in 2009’s widely panned “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which was the first “X-Men” spinoff to focus on Jackman’s character. So it’s unclear how he’ll appear in “Deadpool 3.” But the character is best known for repeatedly breaking the fourth wall — on film and in the comics — and as Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently told Variety, [“Anything’s possible in the multiverse.”](https://variety.com/2022/film/news/elizabeth-olsen-wanda-return-marvel-alive-marvel-kevin-feige-1235384359/) The last time X-Men fans saw Jackman as Wolverine was in 2016’s R-rated “Logan,” directed by James Mangold.

Jackman will be playing Wolverine “one more time,” according to Reynolds, in [Deadpool 3](https://www.vulture.com/2022/07/deadpool-logan-disney-plus-release-date.html), out September 6, 2024. On September 27, [Ryan Reynolds](https://www.vulture.com/2022/09/will-ferrell-ryan-reynolds-spirited-a-christmas-carol-apple.html) posted a video called “Deadpool Update” in which he apologizes for missing D23, explaining that he was hard at work because “his first appearance in the MCU obviously needs to feel special.
The third 'merc with the mouth' adventure, which will (at least somewhat) be part of the MCU, arrives 6.5 years after Deadpool 2.
Deadpool 2 earned $318 million domestic and $734 million worldwide on a $110 million budget, and an additional $6 million domestic and $45 million overseas (including $24 million in China) from the PG-13 Once Upon A Deadpool cut. I am hopeful that all parties will be smart enough to let Deadpool 3 stand on its own without resting on multiverse cameos or franchise-specific nostalgia (just as Multiverse of Madness was 90% ‘just’ a Doctor Strange sequel). It gives those indifferent to a third Deadpool a reason to care or be curious. I do wonder if the deal for Jackman involves a reigniting of the Greatest Showman IP, but bringing Jackman into Deadpool 3 is the very definition of an added value element. More importantly, they still want Logan to have monetizable value as ‘Wolverine’s last ride.’ Whether multiverse-hopping or non-continuity in-jokes, I’m guessing the Logan we meet in Deadpool 3 will either be an alternate universe version (maybe wearing the comics-accurate yellow spandex) or will merely exist between the continuities of Days of Future Past and Logan. Ryan Reynolds just dropped word, via an amusing self-mocking video, that A) Deadpool 3 (or whatever they end up calling it) will be opening theatrically on September 6, 2024 and B) will feature Hugh Jackman reprising as Wolverine.

There's been no word just yet on if we'll see other returning favorites like Josh Brolin as Cable or [Zazie Beetz as Domino](https://collider.com/will-domino-be-in-deadpool-3-zazie-beetz/), but chances are we'll see more than a few familiar faces joining Reynolds and Jackman in what's arguably the most exciting Marvel movie on the horizon right now. Then of course there's Hugh Jackman, playing Wolverine for what will be the tenth and possibly the final time (though the more multiversal characters we see, the better the odds we'll get a massive fight scene with all of them in Seven years later, we finally got that with the first [Deadpool](https://collider.com/tag/deadpool/) film in 2016, followed by [Deadpool 2](https://collider.com/tag/deadpool-2/) two years later in 2018.

Given the box office success of the first two movies, Deadpool 3 will more than likely be a theatrical release, with a streaming release on Disney+ and/or Hulu most likely to come roughly a month and a half after release. [Hugh Jackman](https://collider.com/tag/hugh-jackman) himself walks behind Reynolds as if nothing's going on. Yes, both of the Deadpool movies and every film in 20th Century's X-Men franchise are available for streaming on Disney+. The update starts with Reynolds going through some daily tasks like working on the computer and working out, and during some of them, he appears to be wearing a version of the Deadpool suit that is decently reminiscent of the character's black and gray X-Force suit from the comics, which is one of his most popular looks outside his standard suit. This meant something of an unceremonious end to the studio's X-Men franchise, with X-Men: Dark Pheonix (2019) and The New Mutants (2020) not getting much in the way of fanfare.
Ryan Reynolds confirms the X-Men star will reprise his most famous role in the action-comedy sequel.
Jackman first played Wolverine - a mutant with regenerative powers - in 2000's X-Men, and appeared in multiple films as the character. The video then cuts to a title card - "Coming Hughn" - before a Deadpool logo fades in and Wolverine's famous claw marks appear over the top of it. He tweeted the announcement with the caption "Hard keeping my mouth sewn shut about this one" - a reference to Deadpool's previous appearance in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds has some big news: His Deadpool is not the only X-Man set to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wolverine is coming with him.
21 is any indication, this Marvel team-up is in the right hands. There are plenty of options to justify Jackman’s Wolverine now walking in the land of the Avengers. Is that the loophole that will bring Jackman to the MCU? By the time “Deadpool 2” came along in 2018, Reynolds had separated himself from an X-Men movie franchise that was withering in the shadows of what Marvel Studios was accomplishing with the Avengers. This is the multiverse era at Marvel Studios right now, where alternate universes and alternate versions of heroes is a thing. Disney’s Marvel Studios had become the dominant creator of movies based on Marvel comics characters, and Reynolds’s “Deadpool” movies over at Fox were the only thing that could stand up to their might. Let’s not forget that in 2018’s “Deadpool 2,” a post-credits scene featured Deadpool getting his hands on time travel technology. Jackman’s Wolverine died very dramatically and in R-rated fashion in James Mangold’s “Logan,” a movie meant to be a swan song for a beloved portrayal of one of the most popular comic book characters ever. In a social media video Tuesday, Reynolds made the announcement of Jackman’s return to the X-Men movie world — which was especially shocking considering the character had died in 2017’s “Logan.” Reynolds proclaims a case of extreme writers block while preparing for “Deadpool 3,” which is set to arrive in theaters Sept. He realizes he’s now in the superhero movie big leagues at Marvel Studios, and maybe not quite ready for the moment, but he says he did have one idea. He then spun off into his own “Deadpool” movie in 2016, creating a bloody and R-rated corner of superhero cinema, which was unheard of at the time. Yes, Reynolds always has a way of throwing in songs you’d never expect to hear in a superhero setting.
Meanwhile 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' is confirmed to have a 2 hour 41 minute-runtime, making it the longest MCU film after 'Endgame.'
[James Mangold posted](https://twitter.com/mang0ld/status/1574907829239939072) a cheeky GIF of Wolverine being killed in his movie, which many interpreted as a sign of frustration over the character’s return, though he clarified his stance in a [follow-up tweet](https://twitter.com/mang0ld/status/1574932521875173377). The Deadpool 3 news comes the same day as a major departure from another Marvel project. [video uploaded to his Twitter](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1574865217141481477?s=20&t=pOZagP2cNBTQmwGFR1jPGg) shows Reynolds explaining that he had to miss the D23 Disney expo because he was too intensely focused on developing the third Deadpool film, which will be the character’s monumental first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In true Reynolds fashion, the video is set up as something emotional and triumphant—quintessential superhero stuff (well, barring him reading a Deadpool comic on what seems to be the toilet)—only for him to reveal that when it comes to new ideas for the franchise, he’s completely gassed. (The video also serves as a release date announcement: September 6, 2024.) [In a second video](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1575101936700772355?s=20&t=pOZagP2cNBTQmwGFR1jPGg), the two actors poked fun at questions about the in-universe logistics of the X-Men hero’s return, since Wolverine died in 2017’s Logan. But that film featured a much different version of Deadpool, one lacking the character's signature costume and whose mouth was eventually sewn shut, cutting off his endless stream of quippy, fourth-wall-breaking wisecracks.
The new Deadpool 3 announcement video has some curious easter eggs and references to the X-Men movies and Ryan Reynolds' career.
By the end of Deadpool 2, Wade uses a time-traveling device to fix some of the biggest errors of the past. The new announcement video also seems to contain some references to the Reynoldsverse, as we see a forest resembling the setting of Netflix’s The Adam Project, a time-traveling sci-fi film starring Reynolds and Mark Ruffalo. It’s hard to imagine that the Merc with a Mouth would choose the location randomly, so we might be getting some Taylor Swift jokes in Deadpool 3 - or maybe even a cameo? [X-Men Origins: Wolverine](https://collider.com/tag/x-men-origins-wolverine/), a movie that tells the origin story of Logan in the Fox timeline of X-Men movies. But the movie did kickstart the fan campaign to let Reynolds tackle Deadpool in a solo film. [Ryan Reynolds](https://collider.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/) used his Twitter account to unleash internet-breaking news: [Deadpool 3](http://collider.com/tag/deadpool-3) has a release date set on the Marvel Cinematic Universe schedule, and [Hugh Jackman is going to return as Wolverine](https://collider.com/deadpool-3-hugh-jackman-wolverine/).
