'Deadpool 3': Director Shawn Levy promises it will remain gritty and raw in MCU

While "Deadpool 3" has been in the works for a few years, Ryan Reynolds just made an official announcement about the sequel last September. He also affirmed that Hugh Jackman will be back as Wolverine, a role he portrayed throughout the entire X-Men film universe at Fox. Naturally, fans are all ecstatic about Jackman's comeback. Even more so, given every rumour verifies that Deadpool will continue to be R-rated in the MCU, in keeping with the character's irreverent legacy.

Some may be sceptical that Marvel Studios would create a superhero film that is not rated PG-13. Based on "Deadpool 3" director Shawn Levy's statements, we can be confident that the project he's working on with Reynolds and screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese is aimed squarely at adults.



That does sound like the Deadpool we're all familiar with. And, given that Levy still regrets editing The Internship to make it PG-13, we can be confident that he will not make the same mistake again.

When will "Deadpool 3" begin production?

People wonder when the Deadpool sequel will begin production, especially with the 8 November 2024 release date quickly approaching. When Weintraub learned that Deadpool 3 would begin production in May, he inquired of Levy. He said that the fact is that the more digitally CG-heavy a film is, the more time it requires in post-production. But this is the first Deadpool film in the MCU. There will be plenty of visual effects. But it's also a North Star goal for Ryan and him to make Deadpool as honest, gritty, and grounded as those films have been and we all adore.
