Deadpool Actor Reveals Planned Story for ‘Deadpool 3’ Before the Movie Joined the MCU

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is easily the most anticipated MCU title. The upcoming film is gaining significant attention within the MCU community. Regarded as a potential game-changer by insiders, the studio is banking on its success to reignite enthusiasm among fans, who have shown declining interest in the genre.

Several factors contribute to the immense anticipation surrounding the movie. Firstly, it marks Deadpool’s debut in the MCU. Additionally, it sees Hugh Jackman reprising his role as a variant of Wolverine, despite his character’s demise in Fox’s X-Men Universe. Moreover, numerous cameos from previous movie franchises, along with rumored appearances by new stars like Taylor Swift, add to the excitement.

Actor Karan Soni, set to reprise his role as Dopinder in the third installment, recently shed light on the original concept for the film. While acknowledging its seemingly ludicrous nature. Reportedly, the initial plan for the third Deadpool movie involved a storyline featuring Deadpool going on a Christmas-saving road trip, with Wolverine making an appearance.

Yes, I think it’s online a little bit, so I can. It was going to be originally a roadtrip movie where Deadpool tries to save Christmas , so we all go to the North Pole.

Soni spoke about this long before any changes were made, and now, he wasn’t even informed about the trailer release.

I didn’t even know it was coming.They’re not telling me anything, which is good. Honestly, to bring it back to Roshan [Sethi], on our first date I recapped the plot of Deadpool 3, which I wasn’t supposed to. This was the Fox version, which didn’t get made because the studio got sold or whatever. But we just met, and I was desperate to impress him, and I just blurted the entire thing. I told him Hugh Jackman was gonna be in it – this was years before.

Soni also mentioned in another interview that fans can expect numerous cameos in the movie, adding that “A lot of people traveled to London.”

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is slated for release on July 26, 2024. Initially, its release date was swapped with ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ due to production interruptions caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike. This upcoming third Deadpool installment stands as the sole MCU movie for 2024, as ‘Captain America’ faced significant delays due to extensive reshoots and rewrites.
