The ‘Deadpool’ team have yet to release formal details of the third movie’s plot, but we do know it’ll see Jackman’s Wolverine meeting up with Reynolds’ Wade Wilson –– and that things will not necessarily go well, since the pair tend to fight when they interact in the comics.

We’re promised plenty of the usual meta madness inherent to Deadpool’s adventures. This time around, expect nods at the X-Men’s (and Wade’s) previous home at 20th Century Fox (before Jennifer Garner as Elektra.

Following the exciting announcement that Jackman would reprise his Wolverine role for the movie, ‘Deadpool 3’ kicked off shooting in May, only for production to shut down in July when the actors’ strike began.

With Levy calling the shots, the film returned to production in November once the strikes were over. Filming had been roughly halfway finished when the shutdown occurred, so there was still a fair amount of work to be done.

‘Deadpool 3’ is the one big hope for the Kraven the Hunter’ don’t really count –– to arrive this year.

When will ‘Deadpool 3’ be in theaters?

With Levy working quickly to complete post-production on the new footage (he started editing and effects work during the strikes), ‘Deadpool 3’ is targeting a July 26th release date.
