Deadpool 3
While the actual date when the Merc with a Mouth sequel resumes production is unknown, every indication appears to be that shooting will be imminent. When the Deadpool 3 production paused this past July, shortly after it was revealed Hugh Jackman’s Logan would be joining Ryan Reynolds’ superhero in the iconic yellow and blue Wolverine costume, the film was reportedly about halfway through production. And given the state of other Marvel films slated for next year that hadn’t even gone before cameras when the strikes hit, this made Deadpool 3 an especially major priority for Marvel Studios. Which is why it’s pretty reassuring that Ryan Reynolds posted the below message on Instagram earlier Thursday morning. With an image of his dog in a proper Deadpool onesie, Reynolds promised, “Coming with the movie, Summer 2024.” So we suppose it’s time for maximum effort.

Beetlejuice 2
Another film that is sure to make its summer 2023 release date with a return in front of cameras is Tim Burton’s long-discussed Beetlejuice 2. According to Deadline, the Ghotest with the Mostest sequel incredulously only had two days left of filming before the SAG-AFTRA strike brought things to a halt. With such a small amount of time left, and Warner Bros. undoubtedly anxious to meet their Sept. 6, 2024 release date (if not perhaps earlier), it seems likely production will be wrapped up soon. This seems further apropos since in addition to featuring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder returning to their iconic roles, the film also features Jenna Ortega who has several other projects lined up to begin production shortly, including one below….
Gladiator 2
A film that was already a month into production when the SAG-AFTRA strike brought things to a halt last July, Ridley Scott’s long rumored sequel to Gladiator is actually happening and, more tellingly, has refused to move off its Nov. 22, 2024 release date. Furthermore, the sets the film has built in Morocco, Malta, and the UK are still standing, and production is expected to resume ASAP. The film sees Scott follow up on his Oscar-winning 2000 movie by following the gladiatorial exploits of Lucius, the nephew of Joaquin Phoenix’s dastardly Emperor Commodus in the original film. In the sequel, the now adult would-be emperor is played by Paul Mescal of Aftersun. The film also stars Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, and Connie Nielsen returning to the role of Lucilla.
Venom 3
Unlike the films above, this superhero sequel had not actually begun rolling before cameras when the SAG-AFTRA strike began. However, Sony Pictures demonstrated confidence the strike was coming to a close when they announced they were moving Venom 3 to the release date of Nov. 8, 2024 only a few days ago—in other words less than a year from right now. So expect things to start moving fast. The film features Tom Hardy returning to the role of Eddie Brock/Venom and also has Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor signed on to appear. It will also be the third Venom film helmed by a new director, in this case Kelly Marcel making her directorial debut after working on the screenplays of the first two Venom films, as well as Fifty Shades of Grey.
