Paul Bettany On His Conversation With Kevin Feige & WandaVision

In an exclusive chat with Rohit Khilnani, Paul Bettany explains what it's like to get a call from Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios. A Rated-R Deadpool 3 will help in that endeavor.

Deadpool-star Ryan Reynolds is overseeing the script at Marvel and by implication, Deadpool will now be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

"It will not be [filming] this year. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life".

On his other social media pages, Reynolds also confirmed the news of his character joining MCU and the movie keeping its R-rating, CNN reported.

This hints that Deadpool 3 will not be in production before 2022, which means it won't hit screens before 2023 (five years since 2018's Deadpool 2). The studio's carefully plotted Phase 4 calendar was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, which kicked features like "Black Widow" and "The Eternals", as well as fellow Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" into 2021. Deadpool 3 is seeming to likely release alongside those three films.
