Deadpool 3: Director David Leitch ‘would love’ to return for third movie – After X-Force?

Leitch helmed Deadpool 2 and has hinted he would be interested in making the follow-up.

It’s unclear at the moment when a Deadpool 3 will be made, given that Ryan Reynolds has indicated that an X-Force film – involving Deadpool – will come first.

But Leitch told Den of Geek: “No, I’m not necessarily one and done. I would love to work with Ryan and Rhett and Paul and Simon again.

“We just had a really good time and I love this world, and I love this universe, and I love the character that he’s made so endearing to the fans, and so I would be grateful to work on something again.”

He added: “It just depends on time and place, so we’ll see what happens.”

Reynolds had told Lorraine Kelly on UK TV last month that, whether it’s before or after X-Force, a Deadpool 3 is essentially guaranteed to happen at some point – with Wolverine, if he has his way.

“Yes, we have the suit,” he said.

“I badger Hugh Jackman weekly to put the claws back on.”

He also beamed: “It’s the role I feel most privileged to have in my entire career.

“I feel like I was sort of born for it. I love Deadpool. It’s the miracle of the mask.”

He added: “With the first movie, I put it on and I thought, ‘We’re done, we’re dead, this is never going to work’.

“I took a camera for two days, I played with stuff, I learned – not unlike a silent film, or Marcel Marceau – you just have to be bigger.

“You just have to go bigger and push through the mask and somehow it works.”

Deadpool 2 is out now.
