Disney might have promised to continue the Deadpool film franchise after the Mickey Mouse House's acquisition of 21st Century Fox and the studio's various film and television assets, but the Merc with a Mouth's franchise continues to seem unclear.
Now, speaking with ComicBook.com during the world premiere of his newest film, Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, director David Leitch has decided to update fans about the future of the Deadpool franchise after the release of Deadpool 2.
Though it seems like Leitch has yet to be approached to work on Deadpool 3, the filmmaker says that he's pretty much open to returning whenever to the franchise whenever Disney gives him the opportunity.
"In everybody's world, everybody wants to make it," Leitch says, "So, if I was ever approached to make Deadpool 3, my answer would be, 'Hell yes,' but I think there's a lot of things going on in the shake up with Fox and Disney and where that whole Marvel world after Endgame is gonna be. When the dust settles, let's hope that Deadpoool lives. That's kind of ironic, right?"
Right now, Marvel is moving on to the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so there are a whole lot of possibilities for Ryan Reynold's Merc with a Mouth to join the Avengers. Of course, Marvel could also decide to keep Deadpool and the rest of his mutant friends in their own universe.
We'll just have to wait and see.
