Ryan previously confirmed that the Deadpool 3 movie’s release date is September 6, 2024.

It comes after Hugh said that Deadpool and Wolverine hate each other.

“Unfortunately, I can’t get a million miles from him in this movie, so I’m probably going to hit him over the head a lot.”

Although Wolverine died in the 2017 Logan movie, Hugh insisted that his return in Deadpool 3 won’t affect the events of Logan.
