Ryan Reynolds announced the end of post-production in a new Instagram post. He tagged director Shawn Levy under a black-and-white photo and wrote:
“And that’s all she wrote for post production. Feels like a million years of work went by in a blink. Sitting next to this guy made it all so sweet… Hard to walk away.”
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is expected to be the biggest blockbuster of the year for Marvel Studios after a $200 million projection. The film will get a simultaneous release in China and the US on July 26.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Will Save The MCU
Marvel hasn’t been doing well at the box office in recent years with ‘The Marvels’ and ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania’ grossing much less than expected. ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ could be the project saving the studio, according to Shawn Levy. He recently told Total Film:
“We had no idea it would be this unique moment where people are asking what the MCU means anymore. Can it surprise us? Can it break molds in ways that we don’t expect? We certainly hope that this movie is an answer to those questions.”
The director’s words went on:
“What Kevin Feige has built with the MCU is historic as far as a string of successes, but culture has its tide chart, culture has ebbs and flows, and one thing we do know is you can’t keep doing the same thing ad nauseum and expect people to greet it with the same excitement. And so, it just worked out really fortuitously because our movie is not like any MCU movie. Yeah. And I say that as a fan of a lot of MCU movies.”
The X-Men And Deadpool Are Back
The new MCU film reunited Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds as Wolverine and Deadpool. Jackman’s involvement in the project wasn’t confirmed in the early stages, though. Levy mentioned the changes made in production in a past chat with EW:
“Everything changed radically on the day that Hugh called Ryan. We had been workshopping a lot of ideas about possible stories for a third ‘Deadpool’ movie. Those were story ideas that were more sequelly to the first two ‘Deadpools,’ but none of them imagined such a seismic shift. I can safely say that the story completely changed and, in fact, came to us very, very quickly starting that day.”
Some X-Men like Aaron Stanford’s Pyro also made a comeback for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen joined the cast as Cassandra Nova and TVA’s Paradox.
