Ryan Reynolds confirms the return of one Deadpool character for Deadpool 3, as Leslie Uggams' Blind Al is coming back. Marvel Studios and Disney are continuing the Deadpool franchise after the incredible success of the first two movies made by 20th Century Fox. Plans for Deadpool 3 have been in the works for a few years now with Ryan Reynolds returning to star as Wade Wilson in an R-rated movie set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The sequel took a big step forward recently when Shawn Levy signed on to direct.
With Shawn Levy directing and Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese returning to write the latest draft of the script, Deadpool 3's creative team is finally in place. This means that casting announcements should be on the horizon. So far, Ryan Reynolds is the only confirmed cast member for Deadpool 3, as fans have been left to wonder if others from the prior two movies will return. Domino (Zazie Beetz), Cable (Josh Brolin), and Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) are just some of the characters many hope will return.
