Speaking to Collider during a WandaVision press event, the Marvel Studios boss revealed that Ryan Reynolds, the star of the R-rated superhero movies, is currently working on a script.
“It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan is overseeing a script right now … It will not be (filming) this year,” Feige stated.
“Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor. We’ve got a number of things we’ve already announced that we now have to make, but it’s exciting for it to have begun. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life.” he added.
Reynolds confirmed the franchise’s next installment on his Instagram page. He shared a screenshot of a tweet featuring the news and captioned it: “First order of business: Find the guy who killed Bambi’s mom. #Deadpool3.”
The original “Deadpool” earned $363 million domestically in 2016, while “Deadpool 2,”, released in 2018, also well received.
