Deadpool & Wolverine is a 2024 American superhero film based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters Deadpool and Wolverine, produced by Marvel Studios, Maximum Effort, and 21 Laps Entertainment, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the sequel to Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). The film is directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay he wrote with Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman star as Deadpool and Wolverine, respectively, alongside Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Aaron Stanford, and Matthew Macfadyen in supporting roles. In the film, the Time Variance Authority (TVA) pulls Deadpool from his quiet life and sets him on a mission to save his universe, colliding with a Wolverine from another universe in the process.


Development on a third Deadpool film began at 20th Century Fox by November 2016, but was placed on hold after the studio was acquired by Disney in March 2019. Control of the character was transferred to Marvel Studios, which began developing a new film with Reynolds. It integrates Deadpool with the MCU and retains the R rating of the previous films, making it the first MCU film to have such a rating. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin joined in November 2020 as writers. Reese and Wernick returned from the previous films for rewrites by March 2022, when Levy was hired as director. They, along with Reynolds and Wells, had difficulty figuring out the film's story until Jackman decided to reprise his role as Wolverine from Fox's X-Men film series in August 2022. Filming began in May 2023 at Pinewood Studios in England, with additional filming in Norfolk and at Bovingdon Film Studios. Production was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, but resumed in November and wrapped in January 2024. The film's title was revealed a month later.


Deadpool & Wolverine premiered on July 22, 2024, at the David H. Koch Theater in New York City, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 26, 2024, as part of Phase Five of the MCU.


Plot

In 2018, Wade Wilson uses Cable's time-traveling device to travel from his timeline, Earth-10005,[a] to Earth-616, the "Sacred Timeline", where he meets Happy Hogan and requests to join the Avengers, but he is refused.


Six years later, Wade has retired from being the masked mercenary known as Deadpool and began to work as a used car salesman after breaking up with his girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle. During his birthday party, the Time Variance Authority (TVA) capture Wade and bring him to Mr. Paradox, who offers him to join Earth-616. However, Paradox also reveals that Wade's timeline is deteriorating as a result of the death of James "Logan" Howlett,[b] who is revealed to be the timeline's "anchor being." Wade steals Paradox's TemPad to travel the multiverse and find a variant of Logan to save his timeline.


After encountering various Logan variants, Wade takes one back to the TVA, where he learns that this particular Logan destroyed his own universe before Paradox prunes them both into the Void. Wade and Logan fight before they and Johnny Storm[c] are captured and sent to Cassandra Nova, whom Logan identifies as the twin sister of the X-Men leader Charles Xavier. Upon arriving at Nova's lair, she demonstrates her power to manipulate people's minds and explains her agreement with the TVA to stay in the Void as a gang leader. She then kills Johnny and tries to puzzle Wade with the feeling of not being needed before Alioth appears. Wade and Logan escape before Alioth can consume them.


Following their escape, a variant of Wade directs Wade and Logan to travel to the Void's borderlands to join the resistance against Nova and her forces, but Logan chastises Wade for hiding the fact that he is unable to fix Logan’s timeline. Arriving at the borderlands, Wade and Logan meet the resistance members Elektra Natchios,[d] Eric Brooks,[e] Remy LeBeau,[f] and X-23,[g] nicknamed the "Others" by Wade. The Others want to team up with Wade and Logan to fight Nova, but Logan refuses to cooperate. However, he eventually relents after a conversation with X-23 about his inability to save the X-Men in his universe.
