Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman to star in Deadpool III (2024)

Tell that to Spider-Man in 2002.

Hmm, which came first 2000 or 2002? Let me check and I'll get back to you.

More seriously, the last superhero movies (as opposed to comic book movies) that came out before 'X-Men' were 'Mystery Men', 'Steel' and 'Batman & Robin'. They were a joke by that point and making something that looked like the comics would have been DOA.

And from the looks of the other leaked pics, they're doing a Planet of the Apes parody too.


Maybe a "It's Wonderful Life" type scenario?

Deadpool- Because you were apparently pulled out of the FOX universe and didn't do any Wolverine appearances the studio tanked!

So a 2 year difference, it doesn't change that Spider-Man wasn't ashamed of itself the way Singer was ashamed of the X-Men as a comic property. Nothing before Spider-Man had colorful costumes that had Raimi say "Yeah, it's safe to use costumes again". They did that despite the Black Leather thing being the fashion at the time.

No, if they had the same plot but put real effort into the costumes all it would've done was show that the movie could still be good with the costumes.

All that stuff about how people couldn't handle real comic book stuff after Batman and Robin? It was all an empty fear in the first place.

This movie can have all the cameos and comic-accurate costumes it wants, but without Reynolds' improv, it's likely gonna be pretty dull.
 
According to union rules, under strike conditions an actor must strictly stick to the script when filming - no improv or deviation from the script of any kind allowed.

Now, that said... scripts have been known to have optional alternate lines baked into the text (Top Gun: Maverick had several such listed for Cruise's character). Don't know how much heads-up Reynolds may have had about the strike, but he could have had the script already stuffed with such alternates (all of which would be filmed) to get around the strike that way.
 
I wonder if they'll go with a funny title too. Maybe steal one from elsewhere. Or something that barely qualifies as a joke.

Deadpool 3: The Search For More Money.
Deadpool 3: Electric Boogaloo.
Deadpool 3: X-Men Zero.
Deadpool With A Vengeance.
Deadpool 3: The Squeakquel.
Deadpool 33⅓

Have the rules changed? I only ask because back during the 2007/08 strike I know Mark Forster and Daniel Craig were allowed to work on the script for Quantum of Solace.

The rules were that you couldn't employ anyone as a writer, but the actor and director could work on scenes together.

I don't know, some superhero costumes are much more well known than others. Everyone knows what, Superman, Spiderman, and Batman wear. The X-Men have never had the same level of Iconic costume. In addition to most just not being very well designed, there are also multiple versions. So black leather is just yet another version, not a redesign of an iconic costume.

True, although the yellow uniforms were pretty close to iconic.
