Morena Baccarin Is Also Annoyed About The Lack Of Deadpool 3 Updates

“I hope I get to be in it. I don’t know. They’re very, very annoyingly tight lipped. I text Ryan every six months, and I’m like ‘What’s going onnnn?’ He’s like, ‘Hey, how are you? How’s your family?’ I’m like, ‘Not what I’m asking youuuu!’”
A light at the end of the tunnel
Thankfully, there has been a bit of movement on the third “Deadpool” film as of late. On March 11, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that “Free Guy” director Shawn Levy — with whom Reynolds also worked on the recent Netflix original sci-fi movie “The Adam Project” — was in negotiations to sign onto the project as director.
Considering the success of “Free Guy” following Disney’s acquisition of the title through the merger, it seems like using Levy on “Deadpool 3” is a bet they’re willing to make. Plus, Disney has been wary of making “adult” content in recent years, but they have warmed up to the type of media they populate on the Disney+ app (hello, Netflix MCU titles) and to what they are greenlighting. It’s possible that they just finally feel ready to expand the Disney brand, and hopefully “Deadpool 3” is one of the ways they plan on doing that. In February 2022, Reynolds gave some reassuring words to Collider about the potential third film. He said, “We pretty much talk about everything, but I’ll say this about that particular subject is I’ll have a batch of updates on that sooner rather than later, I hope. So I’ll be able to get into stuff about ‘Deadpool’ a little bit more clearly and definitively down the road.” That quote was given prior to Levy’s involvement, so let’s just hope that the “regenerating degenerate” train is picking up full steam now.
