DEADPOOL 3 to explore Wade Wilson as a ‘lunatic in a very sane world.’

Marvel Studios (and 20th Century Studios?) DEADPOOL 3 is now in development with director Shawn Levy (Free Guy) and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick leading the charge, and with that comes new territory for everyone’s favorite merc with a mouth.

Speaking with The Post Credit Podcast, Reese revealed that one aspect of the screenplay features Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) as being a “fish-out-of-the-water.”

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for fish-out-of-water,” he said. “Deadpool is a lunatic at the center of a movie. To drop a lunatic into a very sane world, it’s straight butter. It’s going to be really fun.”

It will be interesting to see how Deadpool navigates his way through a new universe. It’d be cool if his time-traveling antics at the end of Deadpool 2 came into play, but there’s also a whole multiverse thing consuming the MCU, if you haven’t heard.

Filming on part trois commences early next year for release in 2024.
