The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a vast web of some of the best creative and technical minds at work. In the many decades of stellar movie releases, the juggernaut is passing through what is arguably one of its most underwhelming performances at the box office. Coming in to fix the tiding slump as well as mark the entry of several new entrants into the franchise is Deadpool 3. The Shawn Levy directorial not only pitches the fan-favorite duo of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman against one another but also brings over the possibility of connecting the latest projects from the studio and lining it up for Avengers: Secret Wars.

The priority project for Marvel Studios now has some interesting updates for the fans.

Fans around the world were anxious over Deadpool 3 halting its shoot midway owing to the SAG-AFTRA strikes. While a delay was inevitable, the pushback duration is thankfully short. The hotly anticipated movie will now land on July 26 instead of May 3, 2024. However, there still lies a ton of content to be shot, and here is where a recent update comes in. In all likelihood, the mutant fest will take to active shooting within the next two days, or Tuesday, to be exact.

The date falls in line with many projects across several studios commencing work around the same time period. Notably, filming needs to accommodate the humongous cast that has only ever bulged in size since the last time cameras rolled on the set. Alongside the returning characters from previous Deadpool movies, the original X-Men are likely to appear as new entrants.

The finale of Loki season two established a new status quo throughout the multiverse. Additionally, it also let the room open for a significant overhaul of the TVA while tying it straight with Avengers: Secret Wars. Meanwhile, it also allowed the possibility of a multiversal fiesta of characters to barge in on theater screens. Among the returning faces, Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch stands as a top rumored contender to land in this movie.

Bringing in the mutants, Marvel Studios will lean on exploring comic-accurate connections between its previous characters and the new faces. All of it corroborates reports of the studio, bringing in several actors including Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Corrin, and perhaps even Taylor Swift to helm the incoming creative swarm. Thus, in more ways than one, fans are looking at one of the most star-studded MCU content to land in recent years.
