Walt Disney Studios' recent acquisition of 20th Century Fox has been welcome news for most fans who have been wanting to see the X-Men and Fantastic Four become a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, it was also the cause for major concern from people who are still looking forward to Deadpool 3. Although Wade Wilson's R-rated antics might be a little too risque for Disney, the studio might already be moving forward with a third Deadpool movie starring Ryan Reynolds. A new report suggests that the House of Mouse is already developing another Deadpool film along with Marvel Studios.
There have been speculations that Ryan Reynolds might not return for Deadpool 3 because Disney doesn't seem ready to produce an R-rated film. After all, Reynolds had already claimed that he wouldn't portray Wade Wilson if the character's tendency for violence and raunchy language were censored. However, it looks like Disney is already preparing for the third Deadpool movie. This could be confirmed by a new shell company designated by the House of Mouse.
According to HN Entertainment, Disney has commissioned a shell company called Finger Guns LLC Productions. Although it was not revealed what the company is for or if it is connected to Marvel Studios, the report points out that it is a direct reference at Deadpool's signature move. Needless to say, this has led to speculations that the shell company will be producing Deadpool 3. This could mean that Disney is open to producing a sequel to the first two movies.
It's no secret that Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and the PG-13 Christmas cut of the sequel Once Upon A Deadpool were all huge hits. The first two films were the highest-grossing R-rated movies of all time before they were dethroned by Joaquin Phoenix's Joker earlier in October. With that in mind, there is a huge possibility that Disney has every intention to capitalize on the success of the Ryan Reynolds flicks. It's a major risk that the House of Mouse might be willing to take for the sake of another box office success.
For now, there has been no confirmation on whether Deadpool 3 will be greenlighted. The most recent movie that Marvel Studios confirmed in the future is Ant-Man 3, which will still star Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, and Michelle Pfeiffer. However, this could change as soon as the studio gets Ryan Reynolds to sign on for a third Deadpool film.
