DEADPOOL 3 Writers Say Disney Has Been "Very Supportive" in Regards To Deadpool's Raunchiness

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are currently in the process of writing the script for Deadpool 3, which will see Ryan Reynolds reprise his role as the Merc with a Mouth. Shawn Levy is set to direct the film and it seems like fans are constantly wondering if Disney will actually let the creative team get away with making a vulgar R-rated Deadpool movie.

Well, according to Reese and Wernick, this is something that we don’t have to worry about. They were asked about it in an interview with Den of Geek, and they explained that Disney has actually been very supportive in regards to the raunchiness of the character. Reese said:

"Don't worry about that. They've been very supportive with regard to that. Now when it comes to a particular joke, if we cross a line, maybe we'll hear at some point, 'Maybe not that joke.' But I think they've been incredibly supportive of what we're doing, because obviously we were doing it separate from them for a long time, and I think they've seen the success and they've had their own even greater success. So hopefully it'll be a marriage made in heaven. But we've definitely got their support, and that's a great thing to feel."

Reese went on to talk about the joy of working with Marvel and the Deadpool crew, saying:

"It's a thrill. It's an absolute thrill to have the band back together, to have a new backdrop in the MCU with new characters, new villains, that kind of thing. You know, it's never a marriage we necessarily saw coming—Fox and Disney, that was an external thing [separate] from our storytelling process. But we're absolutely finding the serendipity and the gold in that situation, or we're trying to."

It’s great to hear that everyone is happily working so well together on Deadpool 3! This movie actually might end up being as awesome as we all hope it will be!
