DEADPOOL 3 being written as R rated film, says writers Paul Reese & Rhett Wernick.

DEADPOOL (parts uno y dos) writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are returning for director Shawn Levy’s DEADPOOL 3. Now comes the big question if the merc with a mouth will remain an R rated character. “Oh, absolutely,” said Reese. “They’re not gonna mess with the tone.” Backtracking a tad, he continued “I mean, I’d never say never, I guess there’s an outside chance, but we’ve always been told it can be R-[rated], and we’re proceeding as if it’s R. We would like it to be R, we always have, so I don’t think that’ll change.”

The duo recently opened up to The Playlist about their experiences with their new overlords at Marvel Studios and The Walt Disney Company.

“These [Disney] people do things their way, and we were used to doing things our way, so there are differences, but I think the great part is that Marvel’s been incredibly supportive. They are gonna let Deadpool be Deadpool, you know? It’s not like any particular joke may be the one that they say, ‘you know, that’s too far,’ that could happen, but to this point, it’s been nothing but support.”

“We want to make it great,” Reese continued. “We’re in the laboratory working on it with Ryan Reynolds all the time, and we’re very much entertaining ourselves. So, hopefully, that translates and ultimately will entertain the world. But you know, it’s a marriage between Fox and Disney and it’s two different universes and it’s not easy. But it’s also a wonderful challenge and, you know, high-class problems to be able to merge those, those worlds. So, we’re, we’re enjoying it.”

Deadpool 3 is expected to film early next year for a 2024 release.
