The Big Picture With less than three months until the premiere of Marvel Studios' feature project in 2024, one of the creative minds involved opened up about everything that led to this moment. In an exclusive interview with Empire Magazine, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy said that making the film was a no-brainer to amend a previous career mistake.

While Levy did miss out on a chance to make his version of The Wolverine, it appears everything worked out for the best with him being offered the chance to direct his pal Ryan Reynolds' MCU debut as the Merc with a Mouth alongside Jackman's Wolverine.

"On the set of The Adam Project, Ryan asked me if I would consider doing Deadpool 3, and I remember him saying, 'I know you're gonna say no, but I'm really going to try and talk you into it.' And my response was 'I'm not gonna fucking say no, are you kidding? It's a hard and immediate yes, sir!'" Deadpool & Wolverine premieres exclusively in theaters July 26. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates and coverage of the film.
