Estimated Release Date for Deadpool 3 Trailer: When It’s Most Likely to Arrive

With Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool and Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine, production on Deadpool 3 is officially over. But when will the first official Deadpool 3 Trailer be unveiled?

Deadpool 3 was previously one of the most eagerly awaited MCU films, but because Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts were delayed, Deadpool 3 has been even more anticipated. Now, it is the only 2024 film produced by Marvel Studios.

“Deadpool” and its sequel “Deadpool 2” were both highly successful films, known for their irreverent humor, unique storytelling, and breaking of the fourth wall. Given the popularity of the franchise and the anticipation surrounding the third installment, it’s reasonable to expect that Marvel Studios, which now owns the rights to the character after the acquisition of 20th Century Fox, will carefully plan the marketing campaign to maximize excitement and anticipation.

When Is the First Deadpool 3 Trailer Coming Out?

Typically, movie trailers are released several months before the film’s premiere to build anticipation and generate buzz. However, the exact timing can vary depending on various factors such as the studio’s marketing strategy, competition from other films, and the overall production timeline.

As the release date draws nearer, typically three to five months before the premiere, fans can expect the unveiling of the full trailer. This extended preview provides a deeper dive into the story, showcasing key plot points, character dynamics, and the overall tone of the film while still keeping major spoilers under wraps.

In the home stretch leading up to the movie’s debut, Marvel may drop the final trailer approximately one to two months before its release. This trailer is the culmination of the marketing campaign, aiming to heighten the anticipation with additional action-packed sequences and tantalizing reveals, all while maintaining an air of mystery.

Disney will want to go all out with a lengthy and comprehensive marketing campaign to ensure Deadpool 3 can live up to its full potential, which it will need to do given that Marvel Studios has no other films to fall back on this year.

We must first go to the past of MCU trailer releases to determine the release date of the first trailer for Deadpool 3. Trailer-to-release timeframes for the MCU’s Multiverse Saga films have varied from 81 to 213 days, with an average of around 138 days over ten films:

150 days for Black Widow (before delays)
136 days in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
165 days for Eternals
116 days in Spider-Man: No Way Home
135 days of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

81 days of Thor: Love and Thunder
110 days of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
116 days in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Volume 3 of Guardians of the Galaxy, 156 days
The Marvels-213 days

That usual window would put the trailer for Deadpool 3 around March 10 for its July 26 release, although there’s a chance it may come out earlier.

The Super Bowl is known for its ads and movie trailers every year. This year, on Sunday, February 11, it is expected to contain the first trailer for Deadpool 3, after other MCU films that were showcased during the 2023 game.

This fits with Marvel Studios’ extensive tradition of having commercials aired during every Super Bowl since 2010. It makes perfect sense to use the yearly event to promote Deadpool 3 considering no other MCU film is scheduled for release in 2024.

Deadpool 3’s release in theatres on February 11 would also enable it to open ahead of several high-profile films that are scheduled to release in February and March, such as Madame Web, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Kung Fu Panda 4, and Dune: Part Two.

Production on Deadpool 3 was originally scheduled to run from May 22 to July 14, but it was put on hold when the SAG-AFTRA strike began. By October 2023, director Shawn Levy told The Wrap that he had “edited half the movie” in addition to having “shot half the movie,”

Levy revealed he had “edited half the movie” during the strikes, so there would be more than enough footage available to bring a trailer together in time. Production restarted on 28 November and ended on January 24 of this year.

What Is Shown in the First Deadpool 3 Trailer?

As is customary, viewers shouldn’t anticipate learning a lot about the plot from Deadpool 3’s initial teaser trailer. With all of the customary violence, profanity, and breaching of the fourth wall, Marvel Studios will probably try to make it obvious that this is Deadpool as usual while also dropping hints about possible Multiversal ramifications.

There won’t be many characters from the previous Fox universe in Deadpool 3, despite the film’s anticipated large cast. Nevertheless, Logan is anticipated to be a major character, and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine may make an appearance as he will be among the threequel’s big-selling features.

Beyond that, fans can only hope for a sneak peek at the antagonist that Deadpool and Wolverine will be facing, who is still being kept under wraps.

Being the first in the series to be produced by Marvel Studios, Deadpool 3 will include unique features in comparison to its predecessors, including MCU links. It wouldn’t be shocking to see the Merc with a Mouth openly admit this via a breach in the fourth wall or perhaps even by hinting at the TVA’s existence.

Disney has been referring to the 2024 film as “Untitled Deadpool Movie,” so Marvel Studios needs to finally reveal the name. Given that the threequel seems to be centered around Wolverine’s journey with Deadpool, it wouldn’t be unexpected if the official title featured him.

As fans eagerly await the return of the Merc with a Mouth in “Deadpool 3,” the unveiling of its trailer remains a pivotal moment in the buildup to the film’s release. While speculation abounds, Marvel’s carefully crafted marketing machine ensures that anticipation will only continue to mount as the trailer’s debut draws nearer. Until then, fans will eagerly devour any morsels of information and eagerly anticipate the moment when Deadpool graces our screens once more.
