Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, has confirmed that Deadpool 3 will take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe setting. In an interview with Collider, Feige expressed his excitement for Ryan Reynolds' character sharing,
“It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan’s overseeing a script right now… It will not be [filming] this year. Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor. We’ve got a number of things we’ve already announced that we now have to make, but it’s exciting for it to have begun. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life.”
