Why Deadpool 3 Is The Only MCU Movie Releasing In 2024
Summary
- Deadpool 3's release date delay is a tolerable amount of time and it will now be the only MCU movie releasing in 2024, providing a critical moment of reprieve for both the MCU and its audience.
- With 50% of filming completed, there is still plenty of time for Deadpool 3 to wrap up production, and director Shawn Levy has already edited the completed half of the film.
- Deadpool 3 may not be as VFX-heavy as other MCU movies, leading to a potentially less labor-intensive post-production process.
With the SAG-AFTRA strikes now at an end, the film industry is resuming business as usual, and the inevitable delays on many projects mean Deadpool 3 is now the only MCU movie releasing in 2024. Deadpool's first foray into the MCU will see him hopping across the multiverse, with his arrival stoking anticipation and rumors aplenty following the reveal that he will be accompanied by a yellow spandex-clad Wolverine. The movie was initially slated for release on May 3, 2024, but has been pushed back nearly three months to July 26, 2024.
Chief among the reasons for the Deadpool 3 release date delay is the fact that it still has to complete about 50% of the shooting. With that being said, a delay of just a couple of months is a tolerable amount of time – especially given the fact that Deadpool 3 will now be the only MCU release in 2024. With all that has been going on at Marvel, as detailed in the bombshell report by Variety, this could even be a critical moment of reprieve for both the MCU and its audience. As for why it will be the only release in 2024, the reason seems pretty plain.
