Yahoo News Deadpool 3 lands earlier UK release date
Deadpool 3 has landed an earlier release date in the UK.
The anticipated sequel is due to finally hit the big screen on July 26 – having been pushed back from its original May 3 date due to last year's Hollywood strikes.
However, lucky fans in the UK and Ireland will get to see the movie a day earlier than the US, with the threequel now being confirmed to hit screens on the other side of the Atlantic on July 25.

The news comes after it was revealed last month that filming had finished on Deadpool 3, star Ryan Reynolds marking the occasion in typical Deadpool style with a picture of his character's crotch.
"The suit hides the blood. Also sweat... But today, with Deadpool wrapping, it's mostly tears," he wrote on social media.
"A giant and forever thanks to the cast and crew of our film who battled wind, rain, strikes and [Hugh Jackman]... all under the stalwart leadership of [director Shawn Levy]. I got to make a movie with my closest pals and that doesn't happen very often. See ya July 26..."

Jackman – who is returning as Wolverine – added: "What a ride!!! I’ve loved every minute of making this movie. Well not the training and diet but the other 93.2%. To the best cast and crew, thank you! You are all aces.
"To two of my best mates [Ryan Reynolds] and [director Shawn Levy] I literally couldn’t have done this without you. Literally! July 26 can't come soon enough. Time to shave."
Meanwhile, X-Men star Patrick Stewart has addressed rumours he could return as Professor X in Deadpool 3, telling the Happy Sad Confused podcast: "It has come up. There’s been a process.
"But you know, the last two, three years have been so difficult, with both the labour problems and the health problems and COVID."
Deadpool 3 will be released in UK cinemas on July 25 and US cinemas on July 26. Deadpool and Deadpool 2 are streaming on Disney+.
