Deadpool Writers Uncertain About Marvel Character's Future In Disney


Everyone's still hoping that we'll see yet another Deadpool movie, right? Unfortunately, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick aren't so sure right now. The writers behind the first two movies' screenplays explained that they have some valid reasons for their concerns.

Reese and Wernick recently spoke to io9 about their new film Zombieland: Double Tap and it's no surprise that they are concerned about Deadpool's future with Disney.

"The plan and the hope is that Marvel allows us to continue Deadpool in his R-rated universe that he lives in and also, hopefully over time, we get to play a little bit in the MCU sandbox as well," Wernick said, to which Reese added, "It's all undetermined, though."

Mind you, the two scribes are hopeful about Deadpool 3 but they are also aware that the character is joining a vast universe with several players. In addition to that, Ryan Reynolds' schedule is still pretty hectic.

"Marvel's a rich universe of both heroes and also, wonderfully, villains," Reese said. "So we would love to see Deadpool enter that universe in a fun way. It's just about figuring out how and when."

"[Plus] Ryan is very busy and the transition has delayed everything because you just don't know," he added. "[Marvel Studios] is figuring out the next version of the MCU obviously and that's its own beast. Then you throw Deadpool in there and the X-Men and stuff, and it's crazy."

Although Disney has not yet made any announcements about Deadpool 3, there is a huge chance that the House of Mouse already has plans for the sequel. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.
