Deadpool 3: Will there be a Deadpool 3 movie? When will it be released?

Deadpool 2 star Ryan Reynolds, who plays the eponymous antihero, has hinted a Deadpool 3 movie may be on the horizon.

But so far there has been no confirmation as to whether the film will release its third title.

Reynolds is currently focussing more on X-Force, the movie in which he will star as part of an ensemble.

However, director of Deadpool 2 David Leitch told Den of Geek he isn’t a one and done director.

“I would love to work with Ryan and Rhett and Paul and Simon again,” he said.

“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.”

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

Reynolds also mentioned for Deadpool 3 he thinks they’d have to do something really radical, like drop the budget and make a far more intimate movie.

He told Entertainment Weekly: “It could be anything. Deadpool could be a Sundance film.”

During a TV interview with Loraine Kelly, Reynolds said a Deadpool 3 is essentially guaranteed to happen at some point.

And ideally, the movie would feature Wolverine – that is if Reynolds got his way.

Of course, that then involves getting Hugh Jackman on board.

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

During the same interview, Ryan said he believed he was born to play the Merc with a Mouth, but figuring out how both movies would work was a slow process.

By the time it happens, the Disney/Fox deal should be finalised.

This means Disney — which also owns Marvel — will acquire Fox’s superhero properties, including Deadpool, the X-Men, and Fantastic Four.

The universe just keeps getting bigger and bigger, so Deadpool 3 may have a huge cast of characters to choose from.

If there is a Deadpool 3, which it seems likely there would be, it might not be for a long time.

Deadpool 2 is in cinemas now.
