Deadpool 3 Update Can Finally Prove MCU Doubters Wrong
An update from the screenwriters of Deadpool 3 has eased doubters' worries that MCU's Deadpool will stray from the previous two entries and release a watered-down version of the character. Created by Rob Liefeld in 1991, Deadpool,aka Wade Wilson, the mutant «Merc with a mouth» is portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in the first two films of the franchise, both of which fell under the umbrella of the now defunct 2oth Century Fox, who spearheaded the X-Men franchise from 2000 to 2019. Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, which would allow them to merge or reboot any and all of the X-Men characters (including Deadpool) within their already-established MCU. Deadpool 2 was released in 2018 and serves as the last time the character was seen on the big screen. Both Deadpool films earned a combined $1.5 billion at the global box office, which is no small feat and has left fans wondering what's taking Disney so long to produce a sequel.
Deadpool is portrayed in the comics as a fourth-wall breaking character, known for his crude, violent, and goofy demeanor, which earned the character one of the few mainstream comic adaptations to garner an R-rating. The unhinged and excessive language, violence, and occasional nudity allowed for Reynolds and his collaborators to push the boundaries of Deadpool, while bringing him to life in a way that's befitting of his comic roots. While some audiences complained that it was too excessive for a superhero film, especially with the majority of the films in the genre being marketed to kids and teenagers with PG-13 ratings, Deadpool managed to secure a foothold with it's mature rating, compounded by the massive box-office success it brought — despite the supposed barrier of an R-rating.
