Deadpool 3 Looks Absolutely Insane

What exactly is going on in this photo?
On July 10th, some photos off the set of Marvel’s Deadpool 3 began circulating through Twitter, baffling and exciting both Disney and Fox Marvel fans alike. As shown above, a broken down and apocalyptic 20th Century Fox logo will be appearing in the film, in-universe. Speculation has been running rampant, with fans wondering what this means for the film. Will this be a final send-off for Fox’s X-Men universe, or perhaps a loosely adapted Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe within the Fox Marvel universe’s constraints? Is this just another classic Deadpool meta commentary joke on 20th Century Fox’s merger into Disney’s unending acquisitions?
Things definitely appear that way, or maybe a giant prop of the former studio’s logo was constructed solely for a one-off gag—which would be in the spirit of Wade Wilson’s psychotic sense of humor.
More photos off the film’s set show Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in costume as Wolverine and Deadpool respectively, donning costumes that indicate the department had a few more tricks up its sleeve in this final installment.
In addition to a completely redesigned and retooled Deadpool suit, Marvel fans were pleased to see Jackman finally wearing Wolverine’s classic suit after two decades of none from Fox’s X-Men films. Some pointed out the addition of long sleeves to Wolverine’s suit, due to the comic book-accurate Wolverine suit actually having no sleeves. However, some speculate this is to negate the risk of skin cancer for Jackman, a disease the actor recently announced he had overcome.
Deadpool 3 is set to release worldwide on May 3rd, 2024.
