Deadpool 3 has stopped filming because of the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike. The Shawn Levy sequel began filming in May, with a projected release date of May 3, 2024, but it is clear now that production won't continue until after the strike is over. It remains to be seen whether the film will be able to make it to theatres on the release date, or if it will need to be pushed back. 

The strike began when the Writers Guild of America demanded that its members would stop working across productions from all over the industry because of low and mismatched wages. With no actors or writers working, studios might find it difficult to make movies and television series.

Though the plot details of Deadpool 3 are kept under wraps, it is clear that Hugh Jackman is coming back to play Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's more than likely that the hero played by the Jackman, won't be the same character that appeared in the X-Men films, as the MCU has alternate realities.

Surprisingly, it was recently announced that Jennifer Garner would reprise her role as Elektra Natchios in Deadpool 3, after playing the character in a Daredevil film adaptation that was released in 2003. She would become the second actor from the Marvel movies produced by Fox to join the sequel, raising questions regarding what Deadpool could be doing with various characters from that side of the Marvel universe in his MCU debut. If the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved quickly, audiences get to watch the film next year in theatres.
