Disney previously announced a major change in the Marvel movie release date for Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and now we know that Deadpool 3. The previously untitled Marvel movie that was originally slated for February 16, 2024 has been pushed back to September 6, 2024. This specific change in release date really matters: There has been a lot of speculation that Marvel Studios was keeping a February release date for a single movie franchise. Selected: Deadpool 3 from Ryan Reynolds, which now brings Hugh Jackman back to Wolverine.
The original article is as follows: 20th Century Fox wisely chose to release the first Deadpool movie on February 8, 2016, as it went on to break several records in its opening weekend, and went on largely unchallenged for weeks, eventually becoming the highest-grossing X-Men film of all time; The highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, winning multiple awards and accolades and $782.6 million worldwide on a budget of $58 million. Deadpool 2 attempted to release in early summer 2018 (but crowded), between Avengers: Infinity War and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Deadpool 2 still does well enough ($785.8 million on a $110 million budget), but it clearly should have made it to the slower theatrical window in February; And it seemed like Marvel was going to reshape it in that sense.
So is this movie not Deadpool 3?
Well, even with the release date changed, there’s still plenty of good reason to speculate that this project is Deadpool 3. We already know director Shawn Levy (Free Guy, The Adam Project), Ryan Reynolds, and franchise writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. They’re all at work behind the scenes in pre-production for the movie – including Reynolds as he officially hits the gym once again. That still coincides with the late start of production in late 2022 or early 2023, with plenty of time now for filming and (appropriate) post-production completion.
It’s also no secret in the industry that September mirrors February in terms of being slow for blockbuster movie releases – which means the same release strategy could apply to Deadpool 3. In fact, Marvel’s September release will come after one of the biggest summers ever, With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Disney The Little Mermaid, Fast X, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, The Flash, Indiana Jones 5, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, Barbie, Oppenheimer, The Marvels, Gran Turismo and Blue Beetle are all on the Summer Edition list.
