LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Every fan is gearing up to see what is coming next in MCU Phase 5. As we know the first film in the phase was Paul Rudd starrer 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,' which was released in February 2023, additionally the first series in the phase will be 'Secret Invasion,' which is set for release in June 2023. However, fans are more excited for Phase 6, as they feel the "good stuff" is just a year away. The first film in the phase will be 'Deadpool 3,' which is scheduled for release in November 2024. It looks a little too late right now, isn't it? But don't worry as we got some new tea to spill about the Ryan Reynolds starring movie.

But before that, let's talk about the fact that this will be the third film of Reynolds which is helmed by Shawn Levy. He had previously worked with Reynolds on 'Free Guy' and 'The Adam Project,' and was revealed as the film's director last year, with Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick returning to write the screenplay. Nevertheless, previously the 'Deadpool 2' sequel was supposed to release in September 2024, but the film was later delayed to November 8, 2024, taking over the original release date of the MCU 'Fantastic Four' reboot.
