Not much is known about Deadpool 3. Obviously, Ryan Reynolds is slated to star as the titular character, and Shawn Levy, who has previously worked with Reynolds on The Adam Project and Free Guy, has been confirmed as director. Besides that, not much information is known, and this most recent update doesn’t add too much.

This most recent update via Twitter confirms some of the film’s “brand integrations” (and a returning character?) among other things. Those brand integrations include Mint Mobile, which has Reynolds as its spokesperson. It also has a poster of Wembley, which is a soccer stadium featured in Marvel Comics. That could potentially play a factor in the next film’s plot, but who’s to say? There also seems to be a pile of what looks like comic books lying around. The setting in the photo also looks like the same one where Deadpool held his auditions for his team of superheroes, the X-Force, in the previous installment.
“Deadpool 3 update: We’ve nailed down brand integrations. Story, character, and script next!” reads the post as it displays fan-favorite Peter from the previous film’s squad X-Force. That should at the very least confirm that Peter will be returning for the franchise’s next installment, and may very well imply that we may see new additions to the X-Force. Hopefully, they don’t all die on the team’s first mission like most of the previous members did.
It may not even be the long layoff that is keeping the fans’ interest in what’s next for Deadpool. Now that the character is officially owned by Disney thanks to their purchase of Fox Studios, many are wondering if they are going to integrate the quippy antihero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It would be difficult knowing that the MCU is more family-friendly while the Deadpool movies are very adult-oriented. Then again, they have integrated their adult-oriented portrayal of Daredevil into the MCU (albeit as a cameo), so anything is possible.
In all honesty, it might be best to leave Deadpool where he is. Deadpool became as popular as he is in his movies because of how much he stands out on his own as a Marvel character and not because he has to piggyback on the MCU. Unless there’s a very strong demand for him to be incorporated into the cinematic universe, there’s no reason for them to fix what isn’t broken.
Deadpool 3 is currently in development at Marvel Studios.
