EXCLUSIVE: In one of the first major blows to the 2024 theatrical release schedule due to the ongoing actors strike, sources tell us that Marvel Studios‘ Deadpool 3 won’t be making its May 3 start-of-summer theatrical release date. Even if the strike ends in the next few weeks, a 2024 restart on the half-finished Deadpool 3 would not get the Ryan Reynolds-Hugh Jackman threequel to a May opening date.

Marvel paused start of production on Thunderboltsback in May as Deadline first reported due to the onset of the WGA strike.
The previous two Deadpools were release under 20th Century Fox, and the third film here is the first hatched under the Kevin Feige-run Disney owned Marvel Studios, post-merger. The Deadpool franchise stands at $1.56 billion WW and broke ground for R-rated Marvel movies with mass audiences.
