We heard more at all about the project of a third Deadpool film, with Ryan Reynolds. But now there is a director.
By the way, what becomes Deadpool 3 ? The actor who brings the franchise to the cinema, Ryan Reynolds, has never hidden his desire to continue to interpret the character and his motivation to make a third film. But since the release of Deadpool 2, in 2018, which had closely followed the first opus in 2016, we no longer heard anything about the project. Till today.
As revealed Deadlineon March 11, 2022, Deadpool 3 now has a director: Shawn Levy. It will (unsurprisingly) be with Ryan Reynolds again.
After Free Guy, Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds together on Deadpool 3
Shawn Levy is known to have been at the helm of the trilogy Night at the Museum. But, above all, Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds have already worked together very recently for Free Guy (a box office success) as well as, in 2022, for the Netflix film Adam through time. The third installment of Dead Pool will therefore be the third collaboration between the two men.
The information was confirmed by a humorous tweet from Ryan Reynolds, where we see Deadpool alongside his two other characters shot with the director: “ The third film in my Shawn Levy trilogy will be a little more painful. »
Shawn Levy also confirmed it on Twitter.
There is no doubt that the director’s humorous and somewhat offbeat touch will correspond to the delirious character that is Deadpool. And that he has already worked with the main actor on several occasions is a good sign for the smooth running of the production and a result to match.
Currently on promo for Adam Through Time, Ryan Reynolds isn’t responding so much about the project of a Deadpool 3. So we don’t know much more about the film, its script, its casting. But the actor has expressed his “dream” of seeing a cameo, if not a leading role, of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Ryan Reynolds also totally denies that his Deadpool character will appear in Doctor Strange 2despite the rumors.
