Ryan Reynolds responded to a fan-made poster of Deadpool 3 by agreeing that he'd love to see another movie as soon as possible. The Canadian actor is now best known for playing the Merc With A Mouth, a role he has always seemed destined to play, particularly after being mentioned by the comic's writers over ten years ago. Unfortunately, for a time, it appeared that a solo Deadpool movie would never see the light of day after Reynolds played a bizarrely silent version of the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
However, after putting together a sizzle reel, and then purposely leaking it online, Fox decided to greenlight the movie, and it became a massive hit for the studio, quickly becoming the highest-earning R-rated movie of all time. It was dethroned by the sequel two years later, which hilariously brought together the X-Force only to kill them all off soon after. The sequel's even greater success proved that fans are hungry for more Deadpool action, but there has been no official word on a third film since Disney acquired Fox.
And now Reynolds has proven he's just as desperate to see Deadpool 3 get made as his fans, after responding to a fan-made poster for the movie. The caption on the post tagged Reynolds, saying, "WE NEED IT RIGHT NOW," to which he replied, "ditto." The poster itself is a re-imagining of the poster for Reynolds' upcoming movie Free Guy, with Deadpool's suit placed over Reynolds, and a host of Marvel Easter eggs photoshopped in. You can see the Tweet, and Reynolds' reply, below.
Unfortunately for fans and Reynolds, it seems that Deadpool 3 is the last thing on the minds of the executives at Disney. Since buying Fox, the media giant has remained silent on its plans for any of the characters in the X-Men universe, besides releasing the already completed New Mutants last week. Reynolds did say in 2019 that the movie is in development, but nothing has been said since. Matters are so up in the air that Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld said Deadpool 3 might not happen at all, as he hasn't been spoken to by anyone at Marvel Studios.
No one can predict what will happen with the property, but Marvel Studios would be silly not to make another movie in the franchise. The first two made great money and arguably turned the character into the second-most popular X-Man after Wolverine. So a Deadpool 3, even if it is PG13 as opposed to R-rated, should be a certainty. Strangely, though, at this point, it is anything but.
