The Grand Scheme of Things
The 2017 cinematic jewel known as Logan, where Hugh Jackman delivered an unforgettable performance as Wolverine, holds a special place in the hearts of the Deadpool 3 crew. They’ve gone on record to state that Logan is officially part of the Deadpool 3 universe, highlighting their genuine admiration for the film and the lore it contributed. Although the release schedule for Deadpool 3 is a bit up in the air—thanks to the ongoing actors’ strike—the team is committed to getting it done by next year.
Logan hit theaters in 2017 and instantly became a high point in the superhero film genre. It was a poetic exploration of themes like aging, loss, and the inevitable decline, featuring an awe-inspiring performance from Hugh Jackman as the one and only Wolverine. Such was its cultural impact that it even earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.
When news broke that Jackman would reprise his role as Logan in Deadpool 3, opposite his pal Ryan Reynolds, fans were caught in a blend of excitement and apprehension. After all, Jackman’s return could risk overshadowing the emotional gravitas of Logan’s finale. To address these concerns, Deadpool 3’s director, Shawn Levy, recently provided some clarification.
In an exclusive chat with BroBible, Levy emphasized how everyone on the Deadpool 3 team reveres the Logan film, directed by James Mangold. Levy reassured fans that Logan is, and will stay, canonical in the Deadpool universe. Although he remained tight-lipped about how exactly Logan fits into the narrative, it’s clear that its influence is a pivotal part of Deadpool 3’s storyline.
Levy remarked, “Our collective devotion to Logan is no secret. I’ve always wanted the day to come where Ryan and I can openly express our deep affection for Logan during interviews. Logan isn’t just a movie to us; it’s canon. Every intricate detail, every story arc—it’s all acknowledged and highly respected by the whole team.”
So, When Do We Get to See ‘Deadpool 3’?
As for the release date, the initial plan was for a May 3, 2024, rollout. However, Levy has hinted that this target might not hold up, especially considering the delays resulting from the actors’ strike. He disclosed, “The reality is, we’ve only shot half the film and edited just as much. I can’t give you a concrete release date, but trust me, we’re eager to jump back in and get this film to the fans by next year.”
Apart from Reynolds and Jackman, the film’s star-studded ensemble includes Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, Jennifer Garner, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Stefan Kapičić, Rob Delaney, and Matthew Macfadyen.

Love how they’re keepin how Logan fits into Deadpool 3 a secret. Makes me more intrigued to watch the movie. Good marketing ploy if u ask me.
Is it just me, or does the delay make it even more exciting? Like, I was already on the edge of my seat, and now it’s like, torture but in a good way. Lol.
Man, if they’re saying Logan is canon, then I gotta rewatch it before Deadpool 3 comes out. Gotta catch all those little details, ya know?
Kinda worried bout the actors’ strike messing everything up. Hope it doesn’t ruin the mojo they got goin on. Fingers crossed for 2024!
A little concerned here. Logan was a masterpiece, and I don’t want its legacy ruined. Hope they do it justice and it doesn’t turn into some cash grab.
Omg, Emma Corrin too? The cast just keeps getting better. Also Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine is a dream come true. But, they better not mess up Logan’s legacy. Serious talk.
if Logan’s events are gonna be in Deadpool 3, does that mean we’ll see some dark, emotional Deadpool? That would be a crazy twist, man.
Shawn Levy better know what he’s doin. Mixing the comedic world of Deadpool with the emotional depth of Logan could be genius or disastrous. No middle ground here.
Wow, this is big news guys! I mean, who isn’t psyched about Wolverine being in Deadpool 3? And the fact that they’re respecting Logan, that’s just the cherry on top. can’t wait!
