With the passing days, the buzz around Deadpool & Wolverine has been reaching new levels with fans getting more excited for the film’s release. Ever since the film was announced, a lot of speculation has been made regarding its storyline, with some even wondering if the film comes as a third installment in the MCU franchise. Recently, the Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated film took centre stage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas with director Shawn Levy and actor Ryan Reynolds also treating fans to an exclusive 9-minute preview.
During the event, Levy, while speaking to ScreenRant, explained why the upcoming film isn’t Deadpool 3 but will handle the two characters equally.
“As far as crafting the Deadpool and Wolverine story, I just felt privileged every day because you’re talking about two massive movie stars in their most iconic roles. It also gave me an opportunity. It’s the third Deadpool movie, but it’s not Deadpool 3. It’s a different thing that’s very much Deadpool & Wolverine. And it’s not trying to copycat anything from the first two movies. They were awesome, but this is a two-hander character adventure,” he said.
