Deadpool Comic Book Creator Says There 'May Not Be' a Third Movie 'Post-Quarantine'

Deadpool comic book creator Rob Liefeld isn't sure a third installment of the popular film franchise will ever make it to the big screen.

In a recent interview with Collider, he explained that even if a third film never comes out, he's content with the "two amazing experiences" he had helping make the first two movies.

"You know what? There may not be another Deadpool, and I’m fine. Because I have to live with the fact that I had two amazing experiences, two movies I’m extremely proud of, I love knowing everybody on those movies," Liefeld explained. "I love Ryan [Reynolds], Josh [Brolin], Zazie [Beets], David [Leitch], Tim Miller. All of them."

"The work they did was fantabulous, those movies are here to stand the test of time. You know, but in the world we live in, nothing is guaranteed. And it takes a lot to make movies. And post-quarantine, it’s weird," he explained.

Prior to the coronavirus pandemic putting a halt to seemingly every aspect of the world, including the film and entertainment industry, Reynolds (who plays the titular Deadpool in the films) announced that a third movie was already in the works.

“We’re working on it right now with the whole team,” Reynolds said on a holiday episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan in December, according to Variety. “We’re over at Marvel, which is the big leagues all of a sudden. It’s kind of crazy.”

The first two films were distributed by 20th Century Fox, which was acquired by Disney in March.

However, shortly before the release of Deadpool’s sequel in May 2018, Reynolds didn’t seem certain that fans would get to see a third movie.

“I don’t know that there would be a Deadpool 3. I really don’t,” he told EW at the time. “I feel like the character, in order for him to function properly within his own universe, you need to take everything away from him. I don’t think that you can keep doing that.”

“I just think if you’re going to do another Deadpool solo film, you’ve got to really, like, get that budget down to nothing and just swing for the fences, and break all kinds of weird barriers, and do stuff that no one else can do,” he added.

Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick also hinted at what another Deadpool movie could look like for the franchise, telling Entertainment Weekly in October 2019 that they would be allowed to continue making R-rated films.

“Marvel has promised to continue to let us play in the R-rated Deadpool universe,” Wernick said, noting that they were “all still figuring it out.”

“Our feeling and Ryan’s feeling is that it’s got to be the right idea, it’s got to be great… I think once we collectively agree what idea that great idea is we’ll be off to the races,” he added. “Ryan’s super-busy, we’ve got a lot of projects lined up, but we wake up thinking about Deadpool, and we go to sleep thinking about Deadpool.”
