We’re so excited about this bit of news, we could swear!
Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that our favorite Marvel anti-hero, Deadpool, is headed back to our screens. The 6 Underground star has portrayed the unconventional character since the titular blockbuster came out in 2016 and reprised the role in 2018’s Deadpool 2.
Although the Deadpool series always performed well at the box office — earning $782.6 million and $785 million, respectively —Wade Wilson’s future on-screen remained uncertain due to Disney acquiring 20th Century Fox for $71.3 billion in March. This is, after all, a curse-laden superhero flick, with the sequel holding the title of the highest-grossing R-rated film until Joker surpassed it earlier this year when it amassed $1 billion globally.
It seems, however, that all our worrying was in vain as Reynolds has confirmed what we’ve long hoped to hear — Deadpool is scheduled to return! And, even more excitedly, the team at Marvel Studios are in charge.
“We’re working on [Deadpool 3] right now with the whole team,” the actor said on Live With Kelly and Ryan. “We’re over at Marvel, which is the big leagues all of a sudden. It’s kind of crazy.”
We hope this means that we’ll finally get to see Deadpool hanging out with The Avengers…
