Deadpool 3 has officially begun filming in the United Kingdom. The film surprisingly even has a release date in the United States, which is November 8, 2024. While many films and shows have been heavily affected by the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, Reynold's superhero movie seems unfazed by it. In fact, the production of Agatha: Coven of Chaos, Daredevil: Born Again, and Captain America: New World Order haven't halted either.
Unfornutaly, things aren't going to be the same for the Ryan Reynolds starer as the actor will not be allowed to improvise in Deadpool 3 like he always does. This is because the actor himself is a writer of the film.
Ryan Reynolds' inability to improvise in Deadpool 3 due to this surprising reason could pose a problem
Ryan Reynolds possesses a rare skill of improvising during his performances and this can be noticed the most in his Deadpool avatar. Unfortunately, he will not be allowed to do this in the third installment of the film due to a frustrating loophole.
The ongoing WGA writer’s strike has a couple of rules which are lenient towards actors but the same can not be said for producers. Rules about writers being able to write for a production right have been made a lot stricter and Deadpool 3 is a victim of this.
As per WGA rules, producers can make:
"casual minor adjustments in dialogue or narration made prior to or during the period of principal photography."
Reynolds, like the previous installment, is an official writer of Deadpool 3. If The Proposal actor desires to not get expelled from the Guild itself, he should religiously follow these rules. According to a Daily Dot report, his original role as Deadpool in the 2007 film X-Men: Origins: Wolverine happened because of the 2007 writer's strike. At the time, he himself wrote his lines because there wasn't any direction in the script.
In an interview with EW, Ryan Reynolds revealed how frustrating it was to work on X-Men: Origins without a proper script:
"It was a very frustrating experience,” Reynolds recalled. “I was already attached to the Deadpool movie. We hadn’t at that point written a script yet. [Origins] came along and it was sort of like, ‘Play Deadpool in this movie or we’ll get someone else to.’ And I just said, ‘I’ll do it, but it’s the wrong version. Deadpool isn’t correct in it."
He further stated:
"So we were in the middle of production, there were no writers, no anything. Every line I have in the movie I just wrote myself because in the script we had, it said, ‘Wade Wilson shows up, talks really fast.’ I was like, ‘What?! What am I supposed to do with that?"
The tradition of the actor writing lines for his character stuck around and has been a tradition since. It remains to be seen how this recent development will play out in Deadpool 3 now.
More about the Deadpool franchise
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the official synopsis of the first film reads as:
"Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is a former Special Forces operative who now works as a mercenary. His world comes crashing down when evil scientist Ajax (Ed Skrein) tortures, disfigures, and transforms him into Deadpool."
It continues:
"The rogue experiment leaves Deadpool with accelerated healing powers and a twisted sense of humor. With help from mutant allies Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Deadpool uses his new skills to hunt down the man who nearly destroyed his life."
Deadpool (2016) was directed by Tim Miller and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. It starred Ryan Reynolds and Morena Baccarin in lead roles, with several others. Deadpool 2, directed by David Leitch, released two years after, in 2018.
