Marvel Boss Kevin Feige confirms Deadpool 3 penciled in and Ryan Reynolds working with writers on a screenplay…

In an exclusive, Spencer Perry of ComicBook.com posted:

Marvel president Kevin Feige was asked if [Marvel Studios had] a window for the film penciled in internally… “We do,” Feige said. “And the script is in the works, and Ryan is working very hard on it with our writers as we speak.” Reynolds previously pegged the odds of Deadpool 3 filming in 2022 at being 70% likely.

Meanwhile, in the “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” department, ComicBook.com reminded readers…

• Marvel’s jump into a multiverse scenario via Loki, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man continues to make the possibility of Deadpool arriving in the MCU very possible.

Meanwhile, my take? Warm up the chimichangas, kids.
