Comic book film fans were incredibly bummed out when Marvel Studios' D23 Expo 2022 presentation didn't include an official announcement regarding the third Deadpool film starring Ryan Reynolds. The project has long been confirmed to be in development and will actually follow the story of the first two films from the now-defunct FoxVerse.

Over the last couple of months, the Canadian actor has been teasing what fans can expect from the Merc with a Mouth's MCU arrival. Well, it looks like all the rumors and speculation surrounding Wade Wilson's Marvel Cinematic Universe arrival are actually true and this new update will surely blow everyone's brains out.

Taking to social media, Reynolds addressed missing D23 this year but assured Marvel fans that they're working very hard for the next Deadpool flick. Towards the end of the video, Hugh Jackman surfaces and was asked if he'd like to play Wolverine one more time, to which the Australian actor responds "Yeah, sure, Ryan". The clip ends with a scratched Deadpool logo pretty much confirming that Logan will in fact be in the sequel. Check it out here:

Now, we're not quite sure if this is an indication that Jackman will serve as the MCU's official Wolverine but the confirmation of him reprising the role he made so iconic is a massive win for Marvel fans the world over. Hopefully, Reynolds isn't messing around and Jackman will actually be given a substantial role in the project. Things are definitely getting crazier in the MCU!

Deadpool 3 is currently in development.
