The production for Deadpool 3 was paused as the SAG-AFTRA strike took off. Nevertheless, that hasn’t stopped new details surrounding the Marvel movie from coming to light. In fact, a new rumor claims that a rather wild variant could appear in Deadpool 3.
The Deadpool 3 rumor was shared via scooper Daniel Richtman. According to Richtman, Deadpool won’t exactly be the only version of himself in the film. This isn’t exactly surprising given the movie’s story revolving around the Multiverse. What is interesting, however, is which variant of Deadpool we could expect to see.
Specifically, he claims that the variant known as “Kidpool” will appear in Deadpool 3. This character is known for being a child version of Wade Wilson, and furthermore, he was recruited by the Earth-616 Wade Wilson to join the Deadpool Corps.
It’s possible that the Deadpool Corps could even feature in the upcoming film. As such, fans might even see other popular Deadpool variants from the comics, which include the likes of Dogpool and Lady Deadpool. Of course, the film is already stuffed with characters, including the return of Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine. So perhaps we’ll only get a glimpse of the Deadpool Corps which could later be expanded in an additional sequel.
Either way, Deadpool 3 looks like an exciting and chaotic representation of what everyone loves about the character and his film adaptations. Hopefully we’ll have more concrete details once production starts back up. As for now, it’s certainly shaping up to be one of the MCU‘s most highly-anticipated projects.
Shawn Levy is directing Deadpool 3 from a screenplay written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux previously worked on the film’s screenplay.
The upcoming film stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Brianna Hildebrand, and Shioli Kutsuna, in addition to returning cast members Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, Morena Baccarin, Stefan Kapicic and Rob Delaney. Newcomers include Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen.
Deadpool 3 was previously scheduled to hit theaters for a May 3, 2024 release date. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Marvel news and other updates on Deadpool 3 as we have them.
