Deadpool 3 Unlikely to Happen at Marvel, Says Creator Rob Liefeld

Marvel Studios has "zero" plans to make Deadpool 3, according to Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld. In an interview with Inverse (via /Film), Liefeld was asked what the chances still are for a Deadpool/X-Force movie now that the characters are under the Disney/MCU umbrella and his response was not encouraging. “I don’t know. Here’s what people don’t want to hear, but thank God I’m a realist. I feel like Deadpool, the movies, they’ve set sail," Liefeld said. "We got two brilliant movies, and we live in a culture that always looks forward because all they’re ever selling us is ‘next, next, next.’ It’s the fever." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-a-z-of-deadpool&captions=true"] "For me, as the fever calms down, people just need to calm down and realize that Deadpool 1 and 2 were released within two years of each other, 2016 and 2018, and I just can’t… I’m not really that crazy about Marvel’s plan right now.” Liefeld finds the MCU's Phase 4 -- which includes Black Widow, The Eternals, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings -- a less than exciting lineup than what preceded it. And it's a lineup without any X-Men or mutant-related movies in it. He added that even if Marvel Studios were to start work on a Deadpool movie today "it would come out in four years. I can't get excited about that." "Know what their plan for Deadpool is right now? Goose egg. Zero. Zero!"

Do you think Marvel Studios will really make Deadpool 3 someday? Let us know in the comments.
