Deadpool 3 faces delay in wake of SAG-AFTRA strike

2024's Deadpool 3, featuring Wolverine's debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been delayed amidst the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.

Deadline reports that Deadpool 3 is being delayed as a result of the SAG-AFTRA strike as actors are unable to work while unions lobby for a deal with studios. Originally scheduled to be released on May 3, 2024, will now be released later – possibly switching places with another Marvel Studios movie.

Sources state that there is a chance, though less likely, that Deadpool 3's May 3 release could swap places with Captain America: Brave New World scheduled for July 26. That could give Deadpool 3 another two months of filming time and suggests that the new Captain America movie is further along in production.

While this has yet to be confirmed, the length of a delay for Deadpool 3 will depend on the duration of the strike as actors are unable to work and continue filming. At the time of writing, the next Marvel Cinematic Universe project is The Marvels on November 10, though Loki's second season is also streaming now on Disney+.
