he highly anticipated Deadpool 3 is already making waves, and fans are in for a treat. Ryan Reynolds, the charismatic star and executive producer of the film, recently took to social media to share an exciting glimpse of a new character: Dogpool.
Who Is Dogpool?
Dogpool, a member of the Deadpool Corps, is set to make his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut in Deadpool 3. While the character has appeared in various Deadpool-related comics, this live-action version promises to be a delightful addition to the franchise. But what exactly does Dogpool look like?
The First Look
Reynolds posted an intriguing photo on his Instagram account, revealing Dogpool in all his glory. The costume is reminiscent of Deadpool’s iconic red suit, but with a few twists. The material appears finer, departing from the rough leather texture seen in previous films. The bright red color pops, and the mask, complete with characteristic white eyes, remains true to the source material.
Speculation and Theories
Fans have been buzzing with theories about Deadpool 3. Some speculate that the film will loosely adapt the infamous Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe storyline. In this series, Deadpool specifically targets the “Fox Marvel Universe,” where the X-Men films took place. Could Dogpool’s appearance tie into this meta-narrative? Only time will tell.
A Delayed Release?
The film’s official release date was initially set for May 2024, but with principal photography still ongoing, speculation suggests it might move to July 26. Reynolds himself has hinted at the possibility of reshoots after the SAG-AFTRA strike, allowing for more creative freedom. As Reynolds puts it, perfecting Deadpool is like an “anxiety-inducing tightrope walk,” always striving for that extra 30% improvement.
Other Surprises
Deadpool 3 continues to surprise fans. Not only will it feature Hugh Jackman in an Astonishing X-Men-inspired costume, but Jennifer Garner will also join the cast as Elektra. Rumors swirl about other former Fox/Marvel stars reprising their roles. Halle Berry’s Storm and Ben Affleck’s Daredevil have been explicitly rumored. And let’s not forget that this film marks the first in the franchise to be released by Marvel Studios after Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
