Rob Liefeld stated that he blamed Marvel for the fact that Deadpool 3 had not happened yet. Liefeld added that they were the only reason it was not happening. He then asked Marvel to just commission it, no matter what their conundrum was. Even if it did not fit their master plan, Rob Liefeld advised Marvel to just make the movie for fans. While he was disappointed with Marvel, he was rather fond of Ryan Reynolds, who was instrumental in making the first two Deadpool films.

Even Ryan Reynolds is currently trying to coordinate with Marvel to make the film a reality. The actor recently revealed that he thought the Disney-Fox merger was a good thing for Deadpool 3. However, many fans are worried that Marvel will reintroduce Deadpool as a Pg-13 hero for the MCU. Disney has not yet revealed its plans for the character, but according to various reports, the company does not plan to reboot Ryan Reynolds' iteration of the Merc with a mouth. 

Some entertainment portals have speculated that Deadpool will make an appearance in the MCU's next film, Black Widow. These reports also claim that Wolverine will make his MCU debut in the upcoming film. While many fans were intrigued by this theory, there is no official announcement that confirms Deadpool's appearance in the MCU.
