We’re already counting down the days until Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool teams up on-screen with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. The ongoingactors’ strike, however, is a shadow that is looming large not only overDeadpool 3, but several big-name productions. A new report, though, offers some solace – and suggests the Marvel threequel won’t be delayed.

“The immediate priority for all studios is to get the movies that were shut down in mid-production up and running again,” an agent told the outlet.

SAG-AFTRA and the studios are all set to resume talks on October 11, with the strike nearing 100 days. The writers’ strike has come to an end after a deal was struck, then later ratified by WGA members.

The first look at Deadpool 3 saw Hugh Jackman’s Wolviewear the comics-accurate yellow costume for the first time. Don’t get too excited, however. Director Shawn Levy isn’t sure if Jackman will hang up the claws for good this time.

Levy toldEntertainment Weekly, “I don’t know if this is our last shot at Wolverine on screen, so I was going to make goddamned sure we get the old yellow and blue just once, and that we get it right.”
