The Merc With a Mouth can speak again.
After a four-month suspension due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, “Deadpool 3” will head back in production before Thanksgiving, a source close to the production has confirmed to Variety.
The Marvel Studios production reunites Ryan Reynolds both with his “Free Guy” and “The Adam Project” director Shawn Levy, and with actor Hugh Jackman, who will reprise his performance as Wolverine for the tenth time. (Reynolds originated the role of Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, in 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” and then rebooted the character with 2016’s “Deadpool.”)
The project is one of the most high profile movies that had to suspend filming due to the strike, placing its scheduled release on May 3, 2024 into question. It’s also the first Marvel production to continue a franchise originated by 20th Century Fox, before the Walt Disney Company’s acquisition of the studio in 2019.
