Fans of the Merc with a Mouth have been eagerly anticipating news about a new Deadpool movie, and for good reason. The first two films in the franchise were huge box office successes, grossing over $1.5 billion worldwide and earning critical acclaim for their irreverent humor and faithful portrayal of the iconic Marvel character.
So, is there a new Deadpool movie coming out? The short answer is: we don’t know yet.
In June 2020, it was reported that Marvel Studios had hired Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin to write the script for a third Deadpool film. However, since then, there has been little news about the project’s development.
Part of the reason for this could be the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted film production schedules and caused delays for many major releases. Additionally, there have been questions about how the Deadpool franchise will fit into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which has been carefully planned out over the course of several phases.
Many fans are hoping that a new Deadpool movie will bring the character fully into the MCU, allowing for crossovers with other popular heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America. However, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has been tight-lipped about the future of the franchise, stating only that the studio is “working on a script” and that star Ryan Reynolds is involved in the process.
Despite the lack of concrete information, there are reasons to be hopeful about the future of the Deadpool franchise. Ryan Reynolds has expressed his commitment to the character, and has been instrumental in bringing the films to life thus far. Additionally, the hiring of the Molyneux sisters as writers suggests that the studio is committed to finding fresh, creative voices to guide the next chapter in Deadpool’s story.
For now, fans will have to wait patiently for news about a new Deadpool movie. But one thing is for sure: when the Merc with a Mouth does return to the big screen, it’s sure to be a wild ride filled with humor, action, and plenty of fourth-wall-breaking antics.
