A lot of productions will shut down for the duration of the strike in the coming weeks, so why is "Deadpool 3" shutting down such big news? Besides the fact that the first two "Deadpool" movies were universally well-received thanks to Reynolds' charming central performance — as well as the fact that they marked his return to superhero movies after his infamously disastrous turn as the Green Lantern — this movie, as we mentioned, features two Marvel characters returning to the fold.
Wolverine's return made enormous waves when news broke, as it means that the long-awaited return of the X-Men to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is finally underway. After several complicated deals involving 20th Century Fox and Marvel, the MCU can finally add the X-Men back into the mix, and Wolverine's appearance is probably one of the most highly anticipated MCU moments on the horizon. Set photos also show Wolverine and Deadpool battling, which has given way to even more speculation; could this possibly mean that Deadpool and Wolverine will face off and leave no survivors, giving both Jackman and Reynolds a send-off worthy of their heroes?
Garner's reported return was announced much more recently than Jackman's, but after her appearances in maligned movies like 2003's "Daredevil" and 2005's "Elektra," it'll be nice to see the actress revive the character in a more irreverent production. This is all very exciting, but again — fans are going to have to wait for a deal to be struck before production can resume.
