Deadpool screenwriters clarify that Deadpool 3 and X-Force are separate projects

March 21, 2017 by Robert Kojder

In the crazy, fast-tracked world of blockbuster filmmaking, we already have movies such as Deadpool 3 confirmed despite the second having yet entered production. It’s also been revealed that there are bigger plans within the Fox superhero universe to build toward an X-Force film, which some have speculated will actually be Deadpool 3.

Speaking to CinemaBlend, Deadpool franchise writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have offered clarity, stating “Deadpool 3 will be different from X-Force. So I think we’ll be able to take two paths. One is where we’re launching something bigger, but then another where we’re contracting and staying personal and small. So I think best of all worlds, really.”

It does make sense to make Deadpool 3 a separate entity from X-Force given the hot commodity of the character, who even appeared in the form of a teaser before Logan advertising Deadpool 2.

Deadpool 2 is currently release date, but is expected to hit cinemas at some point in 2018. Meanwhile, according to reports, Joe Carnahan has signed on to write and direct X-Force, which will continue Fox’s R-rated tradition and have Deadpool and Cable as its leads.
