16 Apr – Although it is technically the third "Deadpool" movie, director Shawn Levy wants everybody to know that the upcoming Marvel movie is not "Deadpool 3".

The filmmaker, who spoke about the upcoming film "Deadpool & Wolverine" recently, stated that Hugh Jackman's role as Wolverine is as important as Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool.

"It's a different thing that's very much Deadpool and 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.

Levy also described the upcoming movie as "gnarly" and "funny", and that they ultimately wanted the audience to have fun in the theatres.

"I wouldn't say that there were any big surprises, but you feel where the pace wants to tighten, you feel where you can afford to slow down and have a deeper, more durable character moment," he added.

The upcoming movie is set to be released in July 2024.
