Deadpool 3: The Merc with a Mouth Returns
After months of speculation and anticipation, it has finally been confirmed that Deadpool 3 is happening. The third installment of the popular Marvel franchise will see the return of the irreverent and foul-mouthed superhero, played by Ryan Reynolds.
Deadpool has become a fan favorite since his introduction in the comics in 1991. The character was created by writer Fabian Nicieza and artist/writer Rob Liefeld and made his first appearance in The New Mutants #98. He quickly gained a following for his unique blend of humor and violence, and his ability to break the fourth wall.
The first Deadpool movie was released in 2016 and was a surprise hit, grossing over $783 million worldwide. The film’s success was largely due to Reynolds’ pitch-perfect portrayal of the character, as well as the film’s irreverent humor and over-the-top action sequences. A sequel, Deadpool 2, was released in 2018 and was equally well-received by audiences and critics.
So, when can we expect to see Deadpool 3? While there is no official release date yet, it has been confirmed that the movie is in development. In November 2020, Reynolds confirmed in an interview with Collider that the movie was in the works at Marvel Studios, which now has control of the Deadpool franchise after its acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
Reynolds has been heavily involved in the development of the movie, working closely with writers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin, who are known for their work on the animated series Bob’s Burgers. In an interview with Collider, Reynolds teased that the movie would be “completely different” from the previous two films.
One thing that is certain is that the movie will be rated R, just like its predecessors. Deadpool’s irreverent humor and penchant for violence are a big part of his appeal, and a PG-13 rating would not do the character justice. Reynolds has also hinted that the movie will explore new territory for the character, which is exciting news for fans.
In terms of plot, little is known about Deadpool 3 at this point. The movie is expected to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which raises the possibility of crossovers with other characters in the franchise. It has been confirmed that the movie will not be a part of Phase Four of the MCU, which includes movies like Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
So, while we may not know much about Deadpool 3 yet, fans can rest assured that the Merc with a Mouth will be back on the big screen soon enough. With Reynolds’ involvement and the promise of a fresh take on the character, the third installment of the franchise is sure to be a hit with audiences. Stay tuned for more updates on Deadpool 3’s release date and plot details.
