Don’t buy those tickets for Deadpool 3 just yet. With the actor’s strike still ongoing, it seems as if Merc with the Mouth may not make his original, May 3, 2024 release date.
Deadline reports that its sources have told them Deadpool 3 won’t be released on May 3 even if the strike ended today. Which it won’t. io9 reached out to Disney about the report and a spokesperson for the company would not confirm Deadline’s story, saying that at this point anything out there is rumor or speculation.
But Deadline is fairly good at speculating so, our own speculation is that it’s a decision Disney is considering, it’s just not set in stone yet.
