Ryan Reynolds Teams Up with Shawn Levy for "Deadpool 3"

Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds will team up with director Shawn Levy once again for Marvel's highly-anticipated movie "Deadpool 3".

The pair had collaborated on the hit comedy movie "Free Guy" and Netflix's "The Adam Project".

Reynolds announced Saturday the news on Instagram, saying: “The third film in my Shawn Levy trilogy will be a tad more stabby,”.

The post included a photo of the actor's characters from the two Levy movies, Adam Reed from "The Adam Project" and Guy from "Free Guy" with Deadpool.

"Deadpool 3" has been in development for years now but was further delayed by the 2019 Disney/Fox merger.

The movie is written by Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin.

It marks the first Marvel Studios project to use characters now available to it after Disney purchased 21st Century Fox, which gave Marvel access to mutants, including “Deadpool”, “The X-Men”, and “The Fantastic Four”.

After the acquisition, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige was quick to confirm the franchise as a keeper for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
