Ryan Reynolds Confirms Deadpool 3 Is In the Works With Marvel Studios

We’ll see the Merc with a Mouth break the 4th Wall again

A little over a year after Deadpool 2 hit theatres, the star of the film announced that sometime soon the ‘Merc with a Mouth’ would actually return to the silver screen. During a recent interview Ryan Reynolds confirmed with Live! With Kelly and Ryan that Deadpool 3 is in the works, but he declined to give too many specifics as to what viewers may expect from the next film of the foul-mouthed Marvel superhero.

 

“Yeah, we’re working on it right now with the whole team,” Reynolds said. “We’re over at Marvel now, which is like the big leagues all of a sudden. It’s kinda crazy. So yeah, we’re working on it.” he added, referencing the merger between Disney and 20th Century Fox earlier this year, which brought Fox’s Marvel superheroes like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe of Marvel Studios. The merger also means that Deadpool — who is a superhero of Marvel comics but resides in the same film universe as the X-Men — might be able to crossover and team-up or go against with some of the Marvel Studios superheroes in the future.

 

Of course, most of the films in Marvel Studios’ MCU are a lot more family-friendly than Deadpool movies, as the character is quite famous for his graphic violence, profanity and pop culture related witty remarks. Still, fans don’t need to fret about Wade Wilson AKA Deadpool cleaning up his act in Deadpool 3; writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick confirmed in an interview with EW back in October that Marvel was planning to make more Deadpool movies, and keep them just as funny, offensive and outrageous as ever.

“Marvel has promised to continue to let us play in the R-rated Deadpool universe, and the hope is that they will also let us veer into the MCU a little bit as well and play in that sandbox,” Paul Wernick said that time.

 

Ryan Reynolds has always wanted to see Deadpool interact with other Marvel characters.

“I do see him as  being a part of X-Force, obviously,” he told EW. “I would love to see him in a team-up sort of thing, like mano a mano or a great female character from the X-Men universe.” Now, with so many new options for breaking the 4th wall and Marvel characters to team up with, it seems like the possibilities for Deadpool’s new direction are truly endless.

While neither Deadpool or the X-Force were included as part of MCU Phase 4 announcement back in July, it seems that if ever Deadpool does return to the silver screen, Ryan Reynolds is hoping that he brings new Marvel characters along with him.
