Deadpool 3 Copying Infinity War Proves Fan Fears Mean Nothing
Fan concerns over Deadpool 3 mean nothing after Marvel revealed its Avengers: Infinity War-style plan for the sequel. Deadpool 3 is set to bring back star Ryan Reynolds in the titular role with screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, (who wrote the first two films) at work on the script. Director Shawn Levy, who directed Reynolds in The Adam Project, and Free Guy is at the helm of Deadpool 3, bringing together a strong, proven collaborative team to induct the character into the MCU properly.

Disney+ has even opened up the streaming platform to R-rated and mature content, now carrying the mature-rated Marvel shows from Netflix like Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones. Just ahead of Comic-Con, Disney+ uploaded the first two R-rated Deadpool movies, once again showing that they aren't afraid of embracing the property they've acquired.
