Kevin Feige Confirms Marvel Has DEADPOOL 3 Release Window Set, and Ryan Reynolds Is Working on the Script

Once Deadpool became a member of the Marvel family, fans were eager to find out when we could see a sequel under the MCU banner, introducing the Merc with a Mouth to the ensemble of characters at their disposal. Star of the films Ryan Reynolds has recently stated that he believes there’s a good chance that Deadpool 3 could begin shooting in 2022, but now we have some backup to that claim.

In a recent interview with ComicBook’s Phase Zero podcast, Marvel president Kevin Feige was asked if this was accurate and if they had a window for the film penciled in internally at Marvel Studios. "We do," Feige said. "And the script is in the works and Ryan is working very hard on it with our writers as we speak."

It has previously been reported that Bob's Burgers writers Wendy Molyneaux and Lizzie Molyneaux-Loeglin have taken on the task of writing the script for the third film, taking over from screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick who penned the first two movies in the series.

Reynolds previously told Collider about working on the Deadpool 3 script:

“It’s something that is just a daily process. Writing is kind of like that, you’ve gotta allot time to do it and walk away, and I’m working with the Molyneuxs on it, it’s been great. They’re incredibly talented and so, so smart. They so understand that world and know how to zig when everyone’s expecting a zag, so it’s been a lot of fun.”

It’s awesome to hear that it’s coming along. Some fans worried that we may never see a third Deadpool movie after it made the jump to Disney, so it’s awesome to see it get taken on by Marvel. They’ll do it justice, and we will have another fun Deadpool movie to make the trilogy. Are you excited Deadpool 3?
