One of the biggest questions fans have had since the Disney/Fox merger was if a new Deadpool movie would come out. And for years, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds has been telling fans it’s not an “if,” but a matter of when. In an interview with Collider, Reynolds went a step further, suggesting there’s a pretty good chance that cameras could begin rolling on the third Deadpool film sometime next year.
A “70% Chance”
In the interview, Reynolds was asked how likely it was that Deadpool 3 might actually begin filming next year. At first, he was a bit reluctant to offer a percentage. But he did elaborate on the script’s progress and the likelihood filming might begin next year, saying:
“The percentage chance? I don’t know. I couldn’t assign a percentage to that. I’d say it’s 50/50 maybe? We’re really actively developing it and getting it into pretty good shape. What the hell month is it? August? Oh next year? Probably pretty damn good. I’d say 70%.”
As for how the writing is going, Reynolds added:
“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.”
There is still little known about the new Deadpool movie. Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux are writing the screenplay, but neither a director nor a release date has been announced. However, Kevin Feige has suggested the film will remain R-rated and will exist in the MCU. So, that’s exciting. And it’s equally exciting hearing that development is moving along so nicely.
Are you excited for Deadpool 3 to (hopefully) finally begin filming next year? What are you hoping to see in the film?
