‘Deadpool 3’ Will Be Part Of The Marvel Cinematic Universe, Confirms Kevin Feige

In an interview with Collider ahead of the Disney+ debut of WandaVision, Feige confirmed that the R-rated Deadpool 3 will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — once it finally begins filming. Screenwriting duo Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux are currently hard at work on the script with Reynolds overseeing, but Deadpool 3 likely won’t begin production until 2022 at the earliest, Feige said:
“It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan’s overseeing a script right now… It will not be [filming] this year. 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.”
But we likely won’t see this happen until 2023 at the earliest. As Feige said, Reynolds is a busy guy and won’t be able to start filming Deadpool 3 until at least 2022, and Marvel Studios is pretty booked for the next couple MCU films, including the currently-shooting Thor: Love and Thunder and Spider-Man 3, and upcoming productions like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Black Panther 2, and Captain Marvel 2. The Merc with a Mouth may have to hold his tongue for a few more years.
