The first photos from the set of Deadpool 3 show Ryan Reynolds as the title character. The film will reunite Reynolds with Hugh Jackman, who will play the iconic role of Wolverine.
Deadpool joins Marvel Studios after Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox. Reportedly, filming began in May, despite the writers’ strike. Now we have proof of that after Reynolds was caught on set wearing a full Deadpool outfit. The Mirror shared some pictures of Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson.
Rumor has it that Ryan was filming the scene in London where the car drove into the woods. It’s an exciting time for fans, and since we’ve already seen the actor in costume, there’s hope that there will also be pictures of Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine.
Logan director on Hugh Jackman’s return to the role of Wolverine
Last year, it was announced that Hugh Jackman would be reprising his role as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. The actor will be joining his longtime friend Ryan Reynolds, and the duo has promised Part 3 will not conflict with Logan’s unusual ending .
Since the news broke, director James Mangold has commented on Wolverine’s return, and recently admitted to Variety that his will is for Logan to remain Jackman’s final appearance as the beloved superhero
I won’t lie, there’s a part of me that would rather they just let it go. But there always had to be another Wolverine. It can be baby Wolverine or animated Wolverine. They will squeeze as much as they can out of him, like water from a rag.

While Mangold may have mixed feelings about Jackman’s return, the director recently told ComicBook.com about his hopes for the upcoming Deadpool 3.
I’d like to see a fun 48 hour buddy movie . Ryan and Hugh and I talked about it a while back. We’ve always envisioned this idea in the style of Walter Hill’s movies or Catch It Before Midnight. The two on a road trip together? It would be magical.
Mangold explained in an interview
Deadpool 3 is set to premiere on May 3, 2024.
