Ryan Reynolds Confirms “Deadpool 3” Filming Has Wrapped

The Merc with a Mouth is one step closer to hitting theaters. After what feels like years, principal photography on “Deadpool 3” has wrapped! This news comes directly from star Ryan Reynolds.

“The suit hides blood. Also sweat,” Reynolds wrote. “But today, with Deadpool wrapping, it’s mostly tears. A giant and forever thanks to the cast and crew of our film who battled wind, rain, strikes and @thehughjackman… all under the stalwart leadership of @slevydirect. I got to make a movie with my closest pals and that doesn’t happen very often.”

“Deadpool 3”  is under the direction of Shawn Levy, who worked with Reynolds on “The Adam Project” and “Free Guy.” Levy also worked with co-star Hugh Jackman on “Real Steel.” Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote the scripts for the first and second films, are back this time.

We know Emma Corrin (“The Crown“) and Matthew Macfayden (“Succession“) have joined the cast. As well as legacy cast Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and Channing Tatum as Gambit appearing. Previous “Deadpool” co-stars Rob Delany as Peter, Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Karan Soni as Dopinder, Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio, and Stefan Kapičić as Colossus are also returning.

This third film marks the first time Marvel Studios has overseen a “Deadpool” movie, and we’re all very curious to see how it turns out. As Reynolds added to the end of his post, “See ya July 26th.”
