Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirms that Deadpool 3 has nabbed a spot on the Marvel Cinematic Universe release schedule.
Marvel President Kevin Feige confirmed that Deadpool 3 has a spot on the Marvel Cinematic Universe release schedule — but he’s not ready to reveal it.
Feige teased Deadpool 3‘s impending release during an episode of Comicbook.com’s Phase Zero podcast when asked if Marvel had an internal release window for the film. “We do,” he said. “And the script is in the works and Ryan [Reynolds] is working very hard on it with our writers as we speak.”
While Feige didn’t reveal any other details about the latest installment in the Deadpool franchise during the conversation, Reynolds previously suggested the odds of Deadpool 3 beginning production in 2022 was about “70% likely.” “The percentage chance? I don’t know. I couldn’t assign a percentage to that,” the Deadpool star said at the time. “I’d say it’s 50/50 maybe? We’re really actively developing it and getting it into pretty good shape.” When the actor came to the realization it was already August, however, he bumped the percentage up by 20%.
Reynolds also recently admitted that he’d be willing to reprise the role of Wade Wilson/Deadpool in an MCU film ahead of the third Deadpool solo film. “I think both are pretty warranted,” Reynolds said. “I think you’re always gonna zig when everybody’s expecting you to zag when it comes to that character. As long as Disney’s open to doing some pretty wildly divergent or having some wildly divergent uses of Deadpool then I dig it, man. I think it’s all great.”
While details about the plot of Deadpool 3 have yet to be revealed, Feige insisted that the R-rated superhero franchise will be the only series with that rating within the MCU.
Specifically, the Marvel Studios head explained, “Other than Deadpool, which has already established itself as a certain genre and a certain rating, that we already said we would not mess with when we started working on Deadpool — which we have — other than that, we haven’t encountered a story or a storyline or a character’s journey that a PG-13, or the tone, or the ratings we’ve been using up to this point, has prevented us.” He added that they’ve been able to tell “all the stories that we wanted to with the tonality and the rating we have now.”
Marvel Studios currently has nine MCU films on the release schedule, including Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, as well as sequels centered on Thor, the Wakandans and Ant-Man and the Wasp. Marvel has also previously announced plans to reboot the Fantastic Four, Blade and X-Men franchises under the MCU umbrella.
Written by Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, Deadpool 3 stars Ryan Reynolds. The film has yet to receive a release date.
