The San Diego Comic-Con has been a biggie for Marvel fans considering they got some major updates on what awaits them in Phase 4 including the Thor and Doctor Strange films as well as the series. One superhero that remained absent in this announcement process was Deadpool. After two successful films and the Disney-Fox merger, fans were expecting to find an update on Deadpool 3 at the Comic-Con but were left disappointed. While several fans took to Twitter asking about the fate of the foul-mouthed superhero fitting in the Marvel universe and we finally have an answer. Marvel Phase 4 Films Revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2019! From Black Widow to Thor 4, Here’s the Complete List of Films and TV Series.

Director David Leitch recently spoke about the future of Deadpool and seemed to be equally clueless about the third instalment of the film. The director speaking to Deadline mentioned, "I know Marvel announced their slate and I think people were like, 'Deadpool’s not on it'. I would never say never. And I think, obviously, he’s such a beloved character and it’s such a compelling world people want to go back. And I think they will find a way to do it. But I’m just being patient and let everybody take a breath and see how it works for them in the new Marvel, Disney world. And, hopefully, I’ll get the call. And that would be cool."

Although, Deadpool creator D, on the other hand, has been positive about Deadpool 3 and during several of his interactions on Twitter with fans confirmed that it will happen.

Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds too had seemed positive about another film in the franchise when he spoke to Entertainment Tonight before. The actor was quoted saying, "I wouldn't imagine that Disney bought Fox to dismantle it or something like that. I think that Disney bought Fox so it could have that in its arsenal."

As of now, the future of Deadpool is still shrouded in mystery and we hope that Disney soon takes a call on the film's third instalment. Fans have loved Reynold's superhero act and going by their Twitter reactions, they would love to have another film in the franchise.
