During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan on ABC (also owned by Disney), Ryan Reynolds was asked about Deadpool 3, and the actor and producer of the comic book franchise had this to say (via ComicBook.com):

We’re not exactly sure who “the whole team” is, but we’re fairly certain that it includes writing duo Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who were behind the scripts for both the original Deadpool and Deadpool 2. Whether or not X-Men franchise producers Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner are coming with them remains to be seen. We’re also not sure if director David Leitch will be returning yet either. But we’re hoping for the best.

“Yeah we’re working on it right now with the whole team. We’re over at Marvel [Studios] now, which is like the big leagues all of a sudden. It’s kinda crazy. So yeah, we’re working on it.”

As of now, we won’t expect to see Deadpool 3 anytime soon. After all, the next couple of years are pretty packed for Marvel Studios. But maybe Deadpool will be something separate from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It might be hard to include him without losing the dramatic power at the center of the interconnected comic book franchise, but Disney certainly won’t let such a valuable character fall by the wayside. They might not even interfere with the character’s R-rated sensibilities.
