Yes I knew that but the SAG accompanying strike aside the production company still keeps many writers on staff during the production of the film for emergency rewrites and reworks and as they were on strike for I think 73 days now I would have expected it to have effected this project sooner.

It was affected. Rewrites and even improvising (because that gets rewritten into the shooting script) were forbidden by the WGA, but production wasn't going to shut down as long as there was a script and people to act it out.

Deadpool was moving forward with production during the writers strike (for better or worse). They only stopped because now the ACTORS guild is on strike separately. Cant film an empty set.

Of course the SAG strike is more salt in the wound because without either of these guys there is no movie. When all is said and done though I can honestly say the strike has substantially effected my life not in the least. I find myself going back to older movies and shows these days anyway to get my entertainment so yeah. Go ahead and make your paper people. Do you. It would be nice to have another Deadpool movie but if it don't happen. Well yeah.

Lol. I was expecting that announcement any time. I mean why would a project as big as this one not be affected? I was pretty surprised it was still moving forward. A stoppage is one thing but a strike leaves a bunch of writers sitting around on their hands thinking about how to make a script so called better. I hope this gets resolved soon. Seriously I think the studios can afford the demands but they can't afford an extended stoppage. If the Pandemic put the movie industry on life support a long strike could be the stake to the heart.

Deadpool 3 is one of many projects affected by the SAG-AFTRAs decision to move forward to strike and has stopped production. Production was suspended last night and is considered Marvel's most significant project.

The movie was rescheduled from November 8th to May 3, 2024, but may be expected to be moved again depending on the timeline of the strike.

I hope they don't show the mask on in any of the trailers, keep it as a treat for the movie

Pretty nice, but a bit annoyed it has sleeves.

Yeah that's an odd one, considering that he never had sleeves before, and that its just that much more material they have to integrate into a workable costume for him. On the other hand I have a feeling that outfit won't be in most of his on-screen appearances. But truthfully we won't know what they're gonna do for at least a year now.

Give it time... Probably at some point in the movie we'll see Wolverine rage out and the sleeves will get ripped off...
