In an April interview with Screen Rant, Shawn Levy, the director of Deadpool & Wolverine, addressed a major misconception about the film at CinemaCon. Levy chose to clarify the key reason behind the title change from Deadpool 3 to its current name. The filmmaker explained that the movie is certainly "the third Deadpool movie, but it’s not Deadpool 3", meaning it is not a direct sequel to the previous installments.

Levy explained that the film is designed as a “two-hander character adventure,” which justifies including both Deadpool and Wolverine in the title. This shift from the title convention used in Fox’s original Deadpool movies reflects the MCU’s intention to highlight the importance of both lead characters and give their star power equal prominence. However, it seems the title change also involved some behind-the-scenes expertise from whistleblowers as their magic hands did what Ryan Reynolds did not think.
