The number of people leaking information on movies seems to have skyrocketed in recent years. Deadpool 3 is one of those productions to have faced multiple leaks, leading to a statement from leading star Ryan Reynolds. The actor posted his statement on his Instagram story to emphasize the importance of “surprises” as a “part of the magic of theatrical movies” while clearing the air about the situation.
We will not detail the Deadpool 3 leaks out of respect to the cast and crew.
Ryan Reynolds Gives Statement on Deadpool 3 Leaks
Much of the statement is about the importance of the MCU’s first R-rated movie to film “in real, natural environments, using practical effects as opposed to making the movie indoors and digitally.” He recognized this significance while acknowledging how it leads to the use of “telephoto lenses” that”continue to spoil surprises and create a difficult situation for everyone.”
While hitting on the difficult parts of the Deadpool 3 leaks, Ryan Reynolds ends on a positive note. He hopes for people and outlets to “hold back showing images before they’re ready.” This is all to maintain the “magic” and deliver something that is “built for audience joy.”
The film is built for audience joy — and our highest hope is to preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen. Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real world issues and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket.

What is shown in movies through social media and trailers takes months of planning and strategizing. Ryan Reynolds has shown plenty of things for Deadpool 3 that certainly got approval from Marvel Studios, like showing Dogpool and Wade’s ruined skin. In recent years, major surprises have been ruined, like the plentiful cameos in Spider-Man: No Way Home that spread online well before it hit theaters.
Deadpool 3 will be released in theaters on July 26, 2024.
