With the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike overnight, many actors are taking to social media to share updates on their projects, with one update focusing more on an animal actor.
What’s Happening:
- Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to show off a picture of Dogpool, a canine counterpart to his Marvel persona that will be appearing in the upcoming third installment.
- While Reynolds shared that Dogpool doesn’t save the day in the film, he adds that she is creating a bit of a nightmare for the Disney merchandising department, causing the creators of the plush toys quite the headache.
- Reynolds shared no further information, only sharing the image of the pooch and reminding fans that the movie is due out in the Summer of 2024.
