Deadpool & Wolverine is a 2024 American superhero film based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters Deadpool and Wolverine. Produced by Marvel Studios, Maximum Effort, and 21 Laps Entertainment, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the sequel to Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). The film was directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay he wrote with Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman respectively star as Wade Wilson / Deadpool and Logan / Wolverine, alongside Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Aaron Stanford, and Matthew Macfadyen. In the film, Deadpool works with a reluctant Wolverine from another universe to stop the Time Variance Authority (TVA) from destroying his own universe.
Development on a third Deadpool film began at 20th Century Fox by November 2016, but was moved to Marvel Studios when Fox was acquired by Disney in March 2019. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin joined in November 2020 as writers. Levy was hired to direct in March 2022, when Reese and Wernick returned from the previous films for rewrites. The creative team had difficulty settling on a story until Jackman decided to reprise his role as Wolverine from Fox's X-Men film series in August 2022. Several other actors from the X-Men films and other Marvel productions also returned as part of a multiverse story, which serves as a tribute to Fox's Marvel films. Filming began in May 2023, taking place at Pinewood Studios, Bovingdon Studios, and Norfolk in England as well as Los Angeles. Production was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Filming resumed in November and wrapped in January 2024. The title was revealed a month later. The film's soundtrack features an original score by Rob Simonsen and numerous existing songs, including Madonna's "Like a Prayer" for key sequences. Deadpool & Wolverine is the first R-rated MCU film, retaining that rating from the prior Deadpool films.

'Deadpool & Wolverine' Script: Read The Screenplay For Marvel Threequel
deadline.com →How To Watch Argentina Vs. Spain In World Cup Final, Including Closing Ceremony & Halftime Show Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series highlighting the scripts behind the year’s buzziest films today shines the spotlight on the marvel that is Deadpool & Wolverine , the superhero mashup that paired Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the third installment of the Merc with the Mouth movie series, and marked the first Deadpool movie at Disney ‘s MCU (“There was a whole boring rights issue, blahbity-blahbity-blah,” Deadpool himself says in the script’s opening pages). Shawn Levy was directing Reynolds in The Adam Project (they previously teamed on Free Guy ) when Reynolds asked him to helm D&W , and Jackman came aboard even though he had purportedly hung up his claws on the X-Men character with 2017’s Logan . Once Jackman was in, the writers went to work, with the idea of an opposites, two-hander road-trip story that harkens to the likes of Midnight Run or Planes, Trains and Automobiles . Levy and Reynolds re-recruited Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick , who wrote the first Deadpool and teamed with Reynolds to pen the second one. Levy also co-wrote on the third installment along with Zeb Wells , who was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe stable already as creator and executive producer of the animated Disney+ series Marvel Zombies and who had written an episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law . Their plot finds Wade Wilson (Reynolds) thinking his past as Deadpool is behind him until he finds himself suddenly in a fight for the survival of his homeworld and must suit up again — and convince a reluctant Wolverine to help him. Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni and Matthew Macfadyen also starred. “Creating a film like Deadpool with Wolverine is about epic storytelling on a large canvas and tapping into decades of character legacy,” Levy says. “These characters already have a relationship with us and the world’s culture, giving the movie a mythic scale. It’s about entertaining the audience, and also honoring the incredible history and souls of these characters.” Fun movie but it was 20 minutes too long and this 138 page script should have been cut by 25 pages. There were too many scenes that were painful to watch they were slow and boring. Disney would have saved a lot of money if the script had been shortened and Iger is to blame he should have demanded a script no longer than 115 pages they would have saved 20 million on the budget and audiences would have been happier with a faster moving film. A perfect example of inflated egos. Ryan & Shawn are to blame for the script being way too long. It’s odd how random people speak as if they know better than the company and people that created these movies. Movies need exposition, not to just show fights for an hour and a half. The movie made over a billion dollars, cost three-hundred million to make with marketing, you’re whining about how they could’ve done it for two-hundred and eighty million. I’m glad you’re not in the movie business. Joker 2 was even worse than the trainwreck first one. Get a grip. The firs Joker made over a billion dollars. It’s fine to not like a movie, but let’s not pretend it wasn’t successful. I hated Suicide Squad, but I can’t deny its success. Please don’t say “everyone” wants these marvel comic book abominations to hog-up theater screens when that is certainly NOT true!
