Deadpool 3: the past meets today with Shawn Levy's vision for Ryan Reynolds' iconic role

Deadpool, the snarky, foul-mouthed superhero we've come to love since 2016, is gearing up for another sensational entry, set to hit theaters on November 8, 2024. The anticipation is palpable as fans eagerly await the third chapter of this wildly successful Ryan Reynolds-led franchise. But as we near its release, let's take a moment to reminisce about the journey that brought us here and what to expect from Deadpool 3.

From Tim Miller to David Leitch and now Shawn Levy

The evolution of Deadpool has been monumental. The first film, released in 2016, saw Tim Miller at the helm, introducing us to the raw and relentless world of Deadpool. Its sequel, led by David Leitch in 2018, expanded this universe even further. Now, with the third installment on the horizon, a fresh face, Shawn Levy, promises to maintain the franchise's iconic carnage while ushering Deadpool into Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Levy's excitement is evident. "It is such a blast to laugh every day. It is so delicious to hear and write and come up with these scenes where people are just talking foul. And the violence is in your face and hardcore, and it’s very much a Deadpool movie," Levy enthused about the creation process.

The entry of Wolverine and the continuation of Deadpool’s legacy

One aspect Levy is particularly thrilled about is the inclusion of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in Deadpool 3. He mentions the joy of having this iconic character woven into the storyline. Deadpool's "raw, gritty, grounded" essence, as described by both Levy and Reynolds, will continue to be the heartbeat of the story, ensuring that long-standing fans and new audiences alike will experience the true Deadpool essence.

"I’m having so much fun, and I haven’t even hit the shooting floor yet," Levy shared, indicating the rich tapestry of creativity and excitement that lies ahead.

The anticipation isn't just with the director and star, Ryan Reynolds. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige emphasizes the film's unique potential: "How do we elevate it in the way we’ve been able to with Civil War and Infinity War and Ragnarok? It’s very fun to be in the world of the Ryan Reynolds show."

As we look forward to this new chapter in the Deadpool saga, memories of the past remind us of the legacy this franchise carries. From its inception in 2016, to the revelations of 2018, and now to the promising future of 2024, Deadpool continues to surprise, excite, and entertain.
