- Deadpool 3 is set to connect various Marvel universes and introduce new characters like Dogpool.
- Dogpool, a canine version of Deadpool, possesses healing abilities and is known for breaking the fourth wall.
- With the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike, stars of Deadpool 3 can discuss the film more openly but will still likely be limited with spoilers due to Marvel’s secrecy.
Now that Deadpool 3 is back in production, the film teases a new character joining the beloved franchise – Dogpool. This hilarious canine addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is set to delight audiences in 2024, with Dogpool sharing amusing images via its own Instagram account.
Deadpool, known for his distinctive humor, sarcasm, and penchant for violence, earned a strong following after the release of the 2016 film. Deadpool’s sequel in 2018 further solidified its success, but a merger between Disney and Fox temporarily halted the antics of Ryan Reynolds’ popular anti-hero. The official announcement of Deadpool 3 was met with excitement, as it confirmed Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine in the upcoming film.
Ryan Reynolds has now also revealed another surprise addition to Deadpool 3: Dogpool. Reynolds comically introduced the character while teasing the upcoming challenges the Disney merchandising department would face. Dogpool’s inclusion in the MCU appears to be a surprising twist that was not on most fans’ radar.
Dogpool was created by writer Victor Gischler and artist Bong Dazo, making its first appearance in the Deadpool Corps comic series in 2010. Dogpool is a canine version of Deadpool, complete with healing abilities, agility, and of course, a talent for breaking the fourth wall.
Although Dogpool’s role in the film will likely be kept secret until close to the release, the resolution of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes means that Deadpool 3 stars can once again discuss the film during interviews and red carpet events. However, due to Marvel’s tight security regarding spoilers, fans should not expect too many details to be leaked prematurely.
Deadpool 3’s anticipated release in summer 2024 comes at a beneficial time for Marvel Studios, who have experienced a couple of underwhelming years at the box office. As a result, Deadpool may prove to be an unexpected savior for Phase 5 and the Multiverse Saga.
