Can Deadpool 3 resuscitate superhero movies? We’ll soon find out, as the third film in the violent, raunchy franchise has just wrapped, according to Ryan Reynolds. The actor has long been teasing the on-screen reunion between himself and Hugh Jackman, with whom he first starred in the much-maligned 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now the pair will get a shot at redemption with the much more beloved Deadpool series, which debuts its third film on July 26.

“The suit hides the blood. Also sweat… But today, with Deadpool wrapping, it’s mostly tears,” Reynolds posted to social media on Wednesday (accompanied by a picture of Deadpool’s crotch). “A giant and forever thanks to the cast and crew of our film who battled wind, rain, strikes and @RealHughJackman… all under the stalwart leadership of @ShawnLevyDirect I got to make a movie with my closest pals and that doesn’t happen very often. See ya July 26th….” Director Shawn Levy reposted the message and added, “Had the greatest time of my life shooting this movie. Post production starts at dawn.”

It may be more accurate to say Deadpool battled the greed of studio executives (against whom both SAG-AFTRA and the WGA initiated a work stoppage), but either way Hollywood’s summer of strikes delayed Deadpool filming for some time. Even when production resumed, Deadpool still had to battle with set leaks that threatened to spoil the film’s plot. Addressing the leaked images, Reynolds wrote at the time, “The film is built for audience joy—and our highest hope is to preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen.”

Now that the deed is done, perhaps the best sign-off for Deadpool filming came from Dogpool, who posted on Instagram, “That’s a wrap on my first movie! We worked our pants off but it was worth it. Everyone on set was the utmost professional, especially Shawn Levy and Hugh Jackman. And a super-hero big bow-wow-WOW to the entire crew. No matter the challenge, you rose to the task and made it look easy. I wouldn’t change a thing. Except maybe one person who was a little extra to deal with. But don’t worry, I’ve forgiven him. I even left him a very special warm, personal gift in his trailer.” See you at the movies!

    Damn, Shawn Levy looks like the bastard love child of Tom Cruise and Joel Osteen.

    Deadpool 3
    Deadpool 3
    Is as dead
    As three pools can be
    Algae’s shocked
    With hypochlorite
    Until there’s nothing
    Living inside
    And you
    Can have a summer pool party Here’s a fact
    To hear, y’all
    You want to avoid
    Cyanobacteria
    Vomiting
    Stomach cramps
    Your enthusiasm
    Will be damp
    If you
    Don’t make sure your pool is dead But adjust the pH
    So it’s not too acidic
    Some baking soda
    Will often do the trick Deadpool 3
    Deadpool 3
    An arbitrary number
    I would agree
    It could easily be
    Two or four
    Or even one or many more
    Because
    You clean them all the same way
    Microorganisms will die today
    And you’ll have a dead pool or three! — sung to the tune of “L’espace au sol est redessiné par d’immenses panneaux bleus…” by Fly Pan Am

    DP3 directed by Shawn Levy?Wow this is gonna be remarkable mediocre — unfortunate since the first sequel actually topped its predecessor, imho.Considering the reported hassle(s) Reynolds put the first two directors through (on initial installments), no surprise he’s now ready to coast (w part 3), sacrificing originality/nuance for a gravy & cheese production with amenable, submissive Levy. he triflin

    Is that the same suit? Has it ‘evolved’? I’ll watch anything Leslie Uggams is in And the Negasonic. And Loki? Idk, DP has it’s own special ‘weird’. Imagining him dealing with a fellow trickster doesn’t sound like it will lead to humor (except that DP doesn’t mind looking like a fool).

    I wonder if that will be a bigger hit than Deadpool 2. It really is an “event” movie this time around, because there’s no other Marvel Super Hero Movies coming out.
