The news comes from Justin Kroll at Deadline, who reports on the confirmation ofDeadpool 3and its stages in early development. Details are scarce, but it has been confirmed that Ryan Reynolds met with various writers over the past month to hear their pitches forDeadpool 3.

Further details ofDeadpool 3reveal that the studio intends to makeDeadpool 3R-rated, a great relief for those concerned that the merger between Disney and 20th Century Fox would render this impossible. An additional detail reveals that the film will more than likely have a new director at the helm.Deadpool 2’sdirector, David Leitch, has a packed schedule for 2021. While there is still a chance for Leitch to return to direct the third film, he was not part of the writer’s search, which is an indication that he will likely not be appointed as the director ofDeadpool 3.
Today’s announcement is a big sigh of relief, and a small catharsis, for fans ofDeadpool. The last movie came out in May of 2018, and there was a grave concern thatDisney would simply not allow forDeadpoolto continueas is, especially with an R-rating.
