Jaw-Dropping Deadpool 3 Set Photos: Wolverine's Costume Takes It to the Next Level!

Production for Deadpool 3 was halted due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. However, before the strike, exciting leaked photos emerged from the set of this highly anticipated Marvel film. These photos showcase an intense fight between Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth and Hugh Jackman's reprised role as Wolverine. One topic of discussion among fans revolves around Jackman's costume, which stays true to the comics with its yellow-and-blue design. Some are disappointed that Wolverine has sleeves, but it's expected that Jackman will tear them off in the movie. Deadpool himself also sports an upgraded suit that aligns more closely with the comics. Despite the impressive costume design, the most enticing aspect of the set photos is the massive broken 20th Century Fox logo in the background. Combined with rumors of Jennifer Garner reprising her role as Elektra, Deadpool 3 appears to be the most self-aware and meta Deadpool installment to date. It seems to follow a "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe" storyline within the Fox Marvel movie-verse. In this ultimate spoof of multiverse movies and corporate mergers, 'Pool is potentially facing off against both iterations of the X-Men, both versions of the Fantastic Four, and the comical original take on Daredevil.

The Broken 20th Century Fox Logo Is The Most Exciting Deadpool 3 Leak

Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine in the new Deadpool 3 film brings excitement, especially with his likeness to the character in the comics. However, the most thrilling leak is the broken 20th Century Fox logo, indicating Deadpool's transition from the X-Men universe to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unlike other characters, Deadpool's unique relationship with the audience and his familiarity with his own franchise allow him to embrace the corporate merger and explore the behind-the-scenes aspects. Deadpool's self-awareness makes him the perfect character to integrate into a new franchise, as he can acknowledge the universe switch and comment on the influence of the studio system in big-budget superhero movies like Deadpool 3. The set photos hint that Disney's acquisition of Fox will become a relevant story element in Deadpool 3, potentially causing the Fox-verse to unravel and leading to unpredictable events. Deadpool might even break the fourth wall and enter the real world or venture into the DC Universe for a Marvel/DC crossover, offering endless possibilities.

If Deadpool 3 truly embraces ‘Pool’s exit from the Fox universe and introduction into the MCU, it presents an ideal opportunity to satirize the current trend of multiverse movies. Unlike The Flash and Spider-Man: No Way Home, which incorporate interdimensional travel for the sake of nostalgia, Deadpool 3 could use Disney’s acquisition of Fox as its inciting incident, cleverly mocking the corporate interference involved in a multiversal superhero team-up.

Deadpool 3 Might Be A Full-Blown "Deadpool Kills The Fox Universe" Movie

The inclusion of a 20th Century Fox logo within the universe, along with the presence of familiar actors, hints that Deadpool 3 will be a full-scale adaptation of "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe" for the Fox universe. In this dark rendition, an alternate version of Deadpool is apprehended by the X-Men and confined to Ravencroft Asylum, where the sinister psychiatrist Dr. Benjamin Brighton manipulates him into embarking on a murderous rampage against the world's superheroes. In the sequel, 'Pool sets his sights on prominent literary figures such as Count Dracula, Tom Sawyer, and Moby Dick. Deadpool 3 might adopt the fundamental essence of this narrative to bring the Fox-verse timeline to a close and seamlessly integrate Deadpool into the larger MCU universe. The beauty of this comic book lies in its lack of mercy towards any character, and with the merging of the Fox-verse and MCU, no one will be spared in Deadpool 3 either.

Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine and Garner’s portrayal of Elektra may just be the beginning of familiar superheroes making a comeback. The possibilities for casting from the Fox-verse are endless: other X-Men could join Jackman in reprising their roles; Ben Affleck could return as Daredevil (setting the stage for plenty of playful Batfleck jokes from Deadpool); Chris Evans could potentially return to the MCU, not as Captain America, but as the Human Torch. There is a risk that Deadpool 3 could become too self-aware and isolate casual viewers, but Reynolds and his team are confident in their approach. They have consistently pleased fans thus far, and based on the glimpses from the set, it appears that Deadpool 3 is shaping up to be something truly exceptional.
