Deadpool 3 will be Marvel’s first R-rated movie.
20th Century Fox
Deadpool has been around for a long time. Disney officially acquired 21st Century Fox in 2019: The Shameless Unconventional Superhero will take part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Deadpool 3. Ryan Reynolds, who wore the red-and-black mask for Deadpool 1 and 2 under Fox, has a tongue-in-cheek reaction to the news.
“Full disclosure: I showed them Spiderman 1 & 2 and said it was Deadpool 1 & 2,” Reynolds tweeted, and explains how he convinced Disney to join an R-rated franchise at the Mouse House. Deadpool 3 becomes the MCU’s first R-rated movie.
Reynolds’ Instagram post is even better: “First order of business: Find the man who killed Bambi’s mother.”
Deadpool 1 en 2 brought the character to its right after Reynolds’ first, very different version of the hero in the less than memorable X-Men Origins: Wolverine. When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, it became the proud new owner of the rights to Marvel’s X-Men characters. Last year, Reynolds said it was “a win for everyone involved”.
Deadpool 3 is being worked on and Kevin Feige, head of Marvel, has confirmed that it will be appreciated.
“It will be rated R and we are currently working on a screenplay, and Ryan is currently overseeing a screenplay,” Feige told Collider during the Disney Plus press for WandaVision.
But do not expect it to be completed any time soon: it looks like filming will only start in 2022.
“It’s not being filmed this year. Ryan’s a very busy, very successful actor. We have a number of things we’d already announced we have to make now, but it’s exciting that it’s started. Again, a whole other kind of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just amazing to see him bring that character to life. ‘
