Production

Background

After the success ofDeadpool(2016),20th Century Foxbegan developing two sequels. The third film was set to include the superhero teamX-Force.[39]DeadpooldirectorTim Millerchose not to return for the sequels due to creative differences with starRyan Reynolds,andDavid Leitchwas hired to directDeadpool 2(2018) in November 2016. Fox was looking for another filmmaker to develop the third film.[40]In March 2017,DeadpoolandDeadpool 2co-writerRhett Reesesaid X-Force would be introduced inDeadpool 2before starring in a planned spin-off film that would launch "something bigger", separate from the thirdDeadpoolfilm, which would be more personal.[41]When theacquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disneywas announced in December 2017,the Walt Disney CompanyCEOBob Igersaid Reynolds'sDeadpoolwould be integrated with theMarvel Cinematic Universe(MCU). This was despite those films being ratedPG-13and theDeadpoolfilms beingR-rated.[42]Iger said Disney was willing to make R-ratedDeadpoolfilms "as long as we let the audiences know what's coming" and said a "Marvel-R brand" could be created for characters like Deadpool.[43]In May 2018, Reynolds said a thirdDeadpoolfilm may not be made due to the shift of focus to X-Force.[44]Reese and his writing partnerPaul Wernicksaid a third film would happen after Reynolds took a break from the character and the X-Force film was released, similar to the MCU crossover filmThe Avengers(2012) being released betweenIron Man 2(2010) andIron Man 3(2013).[45]

At the end of May 2018, Leitch expressed interest in returning for anotherDeadpoolfilm, depending on the schedule.[46]A thirdDeadpoolfilm was believed to be in active development by that August, with production planned to take place inAtlanta,Georgia, rather than inVancouver,Canada, where the previous films were made.[47]Once Upon a Deadpool,a PG-13 version ofDeadpool 2,was released at the end of the year. It was watched carefully by Disney andMarvel Studiosto see how it might inform their approach to the character in the MCU.[48]While promotingOnce Upon a Deadpool,Reynolds confirmed that a thirdDeadpoolfilm was in development and said it would go in a "completely different direction".[49]Reynolds later revealed that they were considering aroad trip filmstyled afterRashomon(1950) featuringHugh Jackman'sX-Menfilm seriescharacterJames "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine.[50]Karan Soni,who portrayedDopinderin the first twoDeadpoolfilms, reiterated these plans and explained that the film would have focused on Deadpool trying to save Christmas by going on a road trip to the North Pole.[51]Jackman had himself envisioned a team-up film with Reynolds inspired by48 Hrs.(1982) while attending a screening ofDeadpoolin 2016, but chose to retire from the role of Wolverine afterLogan(2017).[52]In March 2019, Disney officially acquired Fox and gained the film rights to severalMarvel Comicscharacters for Marvel Studios, includingDeadpooland theX-Men.[53][54]The Marvel-based films that Fox had been developing were placed "on hold".[55]

Josh Brolin,who portrayedCableinDeadpool 2andThanosin the MCU, said in June 2019 that he had discussed his future as Cable with Marvel Studios.[56]In October,Zazie Beetzsaid she would be surprised if she did not reprise herDeadpool 2role ofDominoin a future film.[57]That month, Reese and Wernick said they and Reynolds were taking a "much-needed rest from Deadpool" while they waited to hear from Marvel Studios about the franchise's future. They confirmed that anotherDeadpoolfilm would be made, that it would be R-rated like the previous films, and that it would integrate the character with the MCU. Wernick said there was never a setpitchfor a thirdDeadpoolfilm between their exhaustion followingDeadpool 2and the announcement of Fox's acquisition by Disney. Reese said they now had to "land on the right idea and once we do, I think we'll be off to the races". The writers felt there would be more characters available in the MCU to act as foils for Deadpool compared to their restricted options among the characters that Fox had control over for the previous films.[58]

Development

Reynolds revealed in mid-October 2019 that he was meeting with Marvel Studios.[59]At that time, Marvel Studios presidentKevin Feigewas unsure how to integrate Deadpool into the MCU and was still thinking about how the X-Men andmutantsin general would be added to the franchise. Feige described Reynolds as an "idea machine" who pitched many different approaches for the film,[60]including a low budget road trip film with Deadpool and Dopinder that was compared to independent films from theSundance Film Festival,[7]and one that included a dance number with Wolverine set to "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues"byElton John.[61]Reynolds also pitched his previous idea for aRashomon–style team-up film with Wolverine, which would tell one story from three different perspectives.[60][7]He was told that it would not be possible to include Wolverine in the film.[52][60]In December, Reynolds confirmed that the "whole team" was actively developing aDeadpoolfilm at Marvel Studios.[62]

Reynolds and Marvel Studios met with potential writers throughout October 2020, includingWendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelinwhose pitch was in line with their intentions for the film. The Molyneux sisters were hired to write the screenplay the next month. Reynolds and Marvel Studios were open to Leitch returning for the film, but he was not expected to due to other commitments throughout 2021 and was not involved in hiring the writers.[6]Leitch later confirmed that he met with Marvel for the film, but both parties understood that scheduling and other commitments would prevent him from returning.[63]In January 2021, Feige reaffirmed that the film would receive an R rating and would be set in the MCU. Reynolds was supervising the scripting process at that time, and Feige said filming would not begin until after 2021 due to Reynolds's busy schedule.[64]

Director Shawn Levy at CinemaCon in April 2024, where he promoted the film

While filmingThe Adam Project(2022) with directorShawn Levy,Reynolds approached Levy about working together on the nextDeadpoolfilm after they had become frequent collaborators. Reynolds assumed Levy would not be interested due to it being a sequel and not an original work, but Levy was enthused about the idea as long as they had the right story to tell.[9]In July 2021, Reynolds andTaika Waititipromoted their filmFree Guy(2021), also directed by Levy, by appearing as Deadpool and Waititi's MCU characterKorg,respectively, in a commercial for that film titledDeadpool and Korg React.Deadpool, who often breaks thefourth wall,discusses joining the MCU with Korg in the commercial.[65][66]The next month, Reynolds said he expected filming to begin in 2022,[67]which Feige soon confirmed. Feige added that Marvel Studios had a release timeframe in mind for the film.[68]In November, Beetz andRob Delaneyexpressed interest in returning as theirDeadpool 2characters Domino and Peter,[69][70]but Beetz ultimately did not return for the third film.[71]Also in November, Reynolds said they were "plugging away" at the film.[72]

Levy was revealed to be directing the film in March 2022,[73][74]and said filming would not begin until after 2022 due to his busy schedule through the remainder of the year.[75]Reese and Wernick were hired to rewrite the screenplay,[73][74]and said they were excited to use MCU elements in the film. They added that Disney and Marvel were supportive of jokes about the MCU that they were writing for Deadpool given the success of the previous films. They would not confirm whether they were starting from scratch or reworking the previous draft by the Molyneux sisters.[76]In June,Raymond Chanwas revealed to be the production designer after working on theDisney+MCU miniseriesThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier(2021).[77]Feige said in July that the film would be elevated from the first two in a similar way to other third installments of MCU film series, such asCaptain America: Civil War(2016),Thor: Ragnarok(2017), andAvengers: Infinity War(2018).[78]

Levy and Reynolds worked on the script with Reese, Wernick, andZeb Wells,[9]who previously worked on the MCU miniseriesShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law(2022) andMarvel Zombies(2024), and the filmThe Marvels(2023).[79][80]They all began to feel that they did not have an original story that was not derivative of the otherDeadpoolfilms. Levy explained that they felt the film had to be "deserving" of being the firstDeadpoolfilm set within the MCU, while still feeling "grounded because this is an earthbound, gritty, realistic superhero franchise". Levy and Reynolds were prepared to suggest to Feige that the film not move forward at that time because of the trouble they had landing on a story idea,[9]with executive producer Wendy Jacobson also stating that Marvel was struggling to settle on a core idea for the film.[60]In August 2022, Jackman reached out to Reynolds about wanting to be part of the film. Reynolds was preparing for a meeting with Feige to discuss how to proceed given their lack of story ideas, and realized that including Wolverine would solve many of the issues they were coming up against.[52][9]Jackman had a change of heart, after being content with his decision to retire as Wolverine for several years, and decided that a team-up film with Reynolds "could be so much fun; I'll probably have more fun on that movie than anything I've ever done".[14][52]Feige advised Jackman not to return, as he felt Wolverine's death inLoganwas the "greatest ending in history" and did not want to undo that. He was won over by the idea that Jackman would portray a new version of Wolverine, and Jackman confirmed that he wanted to return after taking a long drive to think about it.[13]

Reynolds announced in September 2022 that Jackman would return as Wolverine forDeadpool 3,which was set for release on September 6, 2024.[11]The pair said the film would avoid affecting the events ofLoganby using anarrative devicefrom Marvel Studios that allowed different versions of characters to move around timelines.[81][82]Levy said preservingLogan'slegacy was top priority for the creative team.[9]Jackman reached out toLogandirectorJames Mangoldto inform him of the film's story and said Mangold was both enthusiastic about the idea and relieved thatLoganwould not be impacted.[14]Alongside Feige, Reynolds and Levy produced the film through their respective production companiesMaximum Effortand21 Laps Entertainment,[83][84][85]as didX-Menfilm producerLauren Shuler Donner.[86]Simon Kinbergserved as an executive producer after producing the previousDeadpoolfilms and someX-Menfilms.[87][88][89]He said the film had been authored by Levy, Reynolds, and Feige, and they all cared deeply aboutLogan,Deadpool, and Wolverine.[88]Levy added that the legacies of Deadpool and Wolverine informed the film's story and themes.[7]Jackman said the film may not be titledDeadpool 3,[52]with Reynolds later referring to it as "The Deadpool/Wolverine film",[90]and Jackman referring to it asWolverine and Deadpool.[91]Levy said the creative team were discussing multiple options for the title, and he had at times referred to it asDeadpool Versus Wolverine,Deadpool and Wolverine,andDeadpool 3 with Wolverine.[92]The film's official title was announced asDeadpool & Wolverinein February 2024,[93]with Levy acknowledging that it was the thirdDeadpoolfilm but he did not want to call itDeadpool 3because it is a "two-hander character adventure" that focuses on both characters.[94]Despite this, Reynolds said the film was tonally still aDeadpoolfilm, with violence, swearing, and "metamayhem ". He called it" the most Deadpool movie in the history of Deadpool ".[95]

Pre-production

Pre-production work began by October 2022,[96]less than two months after Jackman decided to join the film. Jacobson said this was one of the fastest turnarounds she had seen for a big production.[60]Filming was expected to begin in January 2023 in Vancouver.[97]In mid-October, the film's release date was pushed back to November 8, 2024.[98]Reynolds said the next month that filming would begin in mid-2023,[99]and Levy confirmed in December that filming was set to begin that May. He said developing the film was one of the most fun creative experiences of his career, citing the film's self-awareness, violence, and foul language.[100]Levy said he did not want to alter the franchise's DNA from the prior films and called the new film "raw, audacious, [and] very much R-rated", comparing it to thebuddy comedyfilmsMidnight Run(1988),48 Hrs.,andPlanes, Trains and Automobiles(1987).[101]

Patrick Stewart,who portrayedCharles Xavier / Professor Xin theX-Menfilm series and reprised the role in the MCU filmDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness(2022), had been approached about potentially making an appearance in the film by February 2023.[102]Later that month, filming was set to take place in London,[103]andEmma Corrinjoined the cast in a lead villain role. Marvel had been considering Corrin since late 2022 but had to work through scheduling issues with their other commitments before they signed on.[83]Corrin was cast after Levy saw their performance in a stage production ofVirginia Woolf'sOrlando.[18]In March, theTime Variance Authority(TVA),Mobius M. Mobius(portrayed byOwen Wilson), andMiss Minutes(voiced byTara Strong) from the MCU television seriesLoki(2021–2023) were reported to be featured in the film.[104]Later that month,Matthew Macfadyenjoined the cast in an undisclosed role,[105]which was described as athird wheelto Deadpool and Wolverine.[106]Karan Soni andLeslie Uggamswere set to reprise their roles as Dopinder andBlind Alfrom the previousDeadpoolfilms.[22]In early April,Morena Baccarinsaid she was in negotiations to reprise herDeadpoolrole asVanessa Carlysle,[107]and she was confirmed to be returning later that month along withStefan Kapičićas the voice ofColossus.[24]The following month, Delaney,Brianna Hildebrand,andShioli Kutsunawere revealed to be reprising their respective roles as Peter Wisdom,Negasonic Teenage Warhead,andYukio.[108][23]

Graham Churchyard andMayes C. Rubeowere the film's costume designers.[111]Jackman wears a yellow and blue costume similar to Wolverine's costumes fromX-Men: The Animated Series(1992–1997) and the comic books,[110][112]specificallyAstonishing X-Menvolume 3(2004–2013) drawn byJohn Cassaday;[113]it also features elements of the character's 1970s design byJohn Romita Sr.andDave Cockrumand the 1990s design byJim Lee.[114]Jackman did not wear a comics-accurate costume in theX-Menfilm series, though it was referenced inX-Men(2000) and adeleted scenefromThe Wolverine(2013).[110]The film was therefore an opportunity to see Jackman in a comics-accurate costume for the first time,[13]and Levy felt this could be the last chance for Jackman to wear such a costume. They went through several iterations and fittings to get the suit right.[115]Jackman said putting the suit on "looked so right [and] felt so right" and he questioned why he had not worn such a costume for the previousX-Menfilms.[13]An early reveal of the costume was met with positive reactions online,[114][116][117][118]and led some commentators to determine that Jackman was portraying a different iteration of the character in the film from the one he portrayed in theX-Menfilms.[117][119]Reynolds also has an updated costume from the previousDeadpoolfilms,[112]featuring a brighter shade of red and larger black circles on his mask. This is reminiscent of the character's comic book design from the 1990s.[109]Levy was pleased with the "overwhelmingly positive" response to the suit designs, which were revealed early due to production occurringon location.[115]

Filming

Principal photographybegan on May 22, 2023, in London and atPinewood Studiosin Buckinghamshire, England,[120][121][122]under theworking titleTidal Wave.[123]George Richmondserved as the cinematographer after working with Levy and Reynolds onFree Guy.[124]Reynolds lobbied Marvel Studios to film in Vancouver, where he is from and the previousDeadpoolfilms were made, but conceded that "they have their [established] infrastructure, and you just have to sort of fall in line".[125]However, aUnited States Copyright Officefiling for the film indicated that some filming did occur in Vancouver.[4]Levy worked with Marvel Studios and the producers of theNetflixseriesStranger Things(2016–present), on which he was an executive producer, to allow him to direct for that series'final seasonsince the schedules for the two projects were expected to overlap.[126][127]

Filming was not expected to be impacted by the2023 Writers Guild of America strikethat began in early May, outside of Reynolds being unable to contribute to the script during filming as he had done for the previous films. Marvel Studios was reportedly planning to shoot what they could during principal photography and make any necessary writing adjustments during the film's already scheduled reshoots.[128]The film was shot on location where possible, to create a more grounded feeling than can be achieved with soundstages.[101][115][129]In June, the film's release date was moved forward to May 3, 2024.[130]Filming for a car crash scene took place on location in London in early July 2023.[131]Shortly after,Jennifer Garnerwas revealed to be appearing in the film asElektraafter portraying a version of that character in the Fox-produced filmDaredevil(2003) and its spin-offElektra(2005);[28]Garner denied her involvement.[132]Filming with Reynolds and Jackman took place inNorfolk.[133]

Production was suspended on July 14, 2023, because of the2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[134]35 days of filming were completed prior to the shutdown, with another 35 days left.[101][135]Filming was set to resume following the conclusion of thedual Hollywood strikes.[101]Disney paid to keep the film's sets intact during the strike.[136]Levy and Reynolds were able to edit what had been shot and begin work on the visual effects,[137][136]though they had not prioritized filming major visual effects sequences before the strike.[135]Prior to the strike, Baccarin completed filming all of her scenes,[138]and Levy shot a sequence that he likened to thelightsaberduel betweenLuke SkywalkerandDarth VaderinReturn of the Jedi(1983). He asked the film'sstunt teamto look to that scene's blocking, tempo, andframingfor their scene.[139]Levy acknowledged some of the casting rumors surrounding the film—including Garner appearing as Elektra,Liev Schreiberreturning asSabretoothfromX-Men Origins: Wolverine(2009), andTaylor Swiftmaking acameo appearanceasDazzler—and said some of them were true, but would not confirm which ones.[115][137]Swift was later stated to not be appearing in the film.[140]Levy said the characters that were included, such asAaron Stanfordreprising his role asPyrofromX2(2003) andX-Men: The Last Stand(2006), were added as the story developed rather than being based on a wishlist of characters and cameos that the producers wanted to include.[16]They did not want cameos or "global MCU stakes" to be the focus of the film, and were able to include "deep-cut" references to Marvel's history because Deadpool can serve as a Marvel fan through hisfourth wall-breaking.[7]Soni said several cameos were intended to be a surprise for the audience.[141]

The film, along with others that were mid-way through production at the start of the strikes, was said to be a top priority for the studios to resume production following the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike.[142]In October 2023, Levy questioned if the film would be able to retain its May 2024 release date given the SAG-AFTRA strike was still ongoing at that time,[137]shortly before it was reported that the film was likely to be delayed to a date later in 2024 even if filming was able to resume by the start of that year.[143]After the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike on November 9, filming was expected to resume in London within the following two weeks beforeThanksgiving.[136][144]Reynolds announced that the characterDogpoolwould appear in the film,[29]played bydog actorPeggy,[30]and the film's release date was pushed back to July 26, 2024.[145]Filming resumed by November 23.[146]Levy said his time editing and reviewing footage during the strikes allowed him to gain a better understanding of the film, and he was able to return to work without feeling rushed and with a focus on what was needed to complete it.[147]

In early December 2023, set photos revealed that the characters Sabretooth andToadwere appearing in the film. They resembled their appearances in the filmX-Menin which they were respectively portrayed byTyler ManeandRay Park;[148][33][149]Mane was confirmed to be reprising his role as Sabretooth in a trailer released in June 2024.[27]Set photos also revealed a giant 20th Century Fox logo set piece.[129]Reynolds commented shortly after about the set photo leaks, saying they created a difficult situation for the production and expressing his hope that websites would stop publishing unfinished, out-of-context leaked images to "preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen".[129]He noted that the franchise is associated with leaks since the firstDeadpoolfilm was able to be made followinga leak of its original test footage.Reynolds proceeded to post faux leaked images featuringMickey Mouse,Predator,andSteve Urkel,along with various hashtags to try to alter the social media algorithm around the actual leaked photos since platforms prioritize posts from high-profile accounts.[150]

Rob McElhenney,Reynolds' co-chairman ofWrexham A.F.C.,visited the set to film a cameo appearance while also discussing matters for their football team given Reynolds' filming schedule. This visit was captured by theWelcome to Wrexham(2022–present) documentary series, which showed McElhenney wearing a TVA agent uniform.[38][151]At the end of December,Bona Film Groupsigned a deal withTSG Entertainmentto invest in a slate of films, including theDeadpoolfranchise.[152]In early January 2024,Varietyreported that the film would include several characters from prior Fox-produced Marvel films and that it was expected to take a similar approach toSpider-Man: No Way Home(2021), which features multiple characters frompastSpider-Manfilmscoming together.[153]Set photos at the end of the month showed Reynolds wearing a samurai-inspired Deadpool costume.[154]Filming, which also took place at Bovingdon Film Studios,[155]wrappedon January 24.[156]Soni said the film was "taking full advantage of the MCU" and would feature jokes about Feige.[157]
