Marvel Studio’s first movie of 2024 just got delayed because of the ongoing actor’s strike in Hollywood. Like other studios, Marvel has had to pause the production because of this past summer’s Hollywood strikes. Following the SAG-AFTRA strike caused project stoppages in Hollywood, Deadpool 3 has been delayed from its May 2024 release timeline.
The upcoming R-rated threequel was set to release in 2024 as Marvel’s first movie. However, the filming was shut down in June due to the actors’ strike. Even though the writers bargained for a new agreement and the writers’ strike ended, the actors are still waiting for the actors’ strike to conclude. This means the movies that were supposed to be released in 2024 are still waiting for confirmation until the actor’s strike ends.
Deadpool 3 Got Delayed Due to Ongoing Strike
Deadline reports, Deadpool 3 will move off its May 3, 2024 release with no new release date confirmed. Deadpool director Shawn Levy talked about the project. “Certainly, the actors’ strike and the long pause in production have put that release date in true risk. We’ve shot half the movie. I’ve edited half the movie. We’re dying to get back to work and get this movie out next year.” It also seems likely Deadpool 3 will not be the only title on the MCU slate to get moved.
There are a couple of titles in the hopper for the franchise that is nearly finished (i.e. the Echo streaming series, What If…?, and X-Men ’97 Season 2). So, Marvel Studios will not be entirely dark headed into next year with a few titles still able to come out. However, none of these are big-screen theatrical affairs like Deadpool and Captain America. While both Deadpool 3 and Captain America 4 remain half-finished, movies like Thunderbolts have yet to start filming.
Deadpool 3 is set to be released sometime in 2024.
