SEE ALSO: The SAG/WGA strike could affect content creators. Here's what to do about it.The news comes just hours into the actors' strike, which formally began at midnight on July 14. The strike follows weeks of negotiation between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), where SAG-AFTRA brought up concerns including reduced income, residuals in the streaming era, and studios' use of AI in filmmaking.
Deadpool 3 began filming in May 2023, with Ryan Reynolds returning as the titular smart-talking, fourth wall-breaking anti-hero. Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Garner were also reprising their prior superhero roles: Jackman as Wolverine, and Garner as Elektra. Just days before the SAG-AFTRA strike began, set photos from Deadpool 3 showed Wolverine and Deadpool squaring off, as well as a ruined 20th Century Fox logo. The film was originally slated for a May 3, 2024 release date, but as the strike continues, it's likely Deadpool 3 won't meet that goal. And sure, we're all excited to watch Deadpool and Wolverine reunite, but postponing their reunion until SAG-AFTRA and the jointly striking WGA get their demands met sounds like a small price to pay.
