In an interview with Collider, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed that Ryan Reynolds, the star of the censored superhero movies, is currently working on a script.
“It will be rated R and we are working on a script now, and Ryan is overseeing a script now … It will not be (filmed) this year,” Feige told the publication.
“Ryan is a very busy and very successful actor,” added Feige. “We have a number of things that we have already announced that we have to do, but it is exciting for this to have started. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just incredible to see him bring that character to life. “
Reynolds confirmed the next installment of the franchise on his Instagram page on Monday.
He shared a screenshot of a tweet with the news and added the caption: “First order of the day: find the guy who killed Bambi’s mother. # Deadpool3.”
In a tweet with a link to an article with the news, Reynolds joked: “Full disclosure: I showed Spider-Man 1 and 2 and said it was Deadpool 1 and 2. # Deadpool3.”
The original “Deadpool” grossed $ 363 million domestically in 2016. “Deadpool 2”, released in 2018, was also well received.
