Morena Baccarin reveals she is still waiting for a call about Deadpool 3.

That led to some concerns over whether it would keep its R-rated humor, but Marvel head Kevin Feige has promised it will. Deadpool 3 has been in development since late 2019, and Reynolds has given sporadic updates since then assuring fans it is still in the works. Most recently, Reynolds' collaborator on recent films like Free Guy andThe Adam Project, Shawn Levy, signed on as director.
