Kevin Feige gave an update on the much anticipated Deadpool 3 film that fans have been waiting to hear for some time. For those who don’t know, this will be Deadpool’s first official film that will be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) storyline. This means that he will no longer have a separate world/storyline from the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and, of course, Spider-Man.

During an interview with ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis for the Phase Zero podcast, Feige dropped hints for Marvel Studios' many upcoming projects. These project updates included Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Dominique Thorne's Ironheart, the release window for Avengers 5, and the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer.

Feige's update on Deadpool 3 was a confirmation that the writers (including Ryan Reynolds) are currently developing the script for the film.“The script is in the works, and Ryan is working very hard on it with our writers as we speak," Feige said after confirming Marvel Studios has a release window set for Deadpool 3. The news is confirmation for many fans who have, for the most part, been kept in the dark about the upcoming project. Despite all of the leaks and the current internet climate, Marvel does a good job when it comes to keeping secrets, especially in comparison to the recent DC movie leaks.

Reynolds recently predicted that Deadpool 3 will begin filming sometime next year, but with the ongoing pandemic and the lengthy writing process, fans should be patient in terms of counting the days until this movie’s release. Marvel has five projects releasing in 2023 that will be a part of phase four. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 are the only two with official titles, while the other three projects are listed as “untitled Marvel films." Deadpool could potentially be one of the projects because one of the untitled films was moved from 2022 to the 2023 slot recently, but again there’s no confirmation.

One bright side to this is that Marvel has confirmed that Deadpool would be retaining his current cinematic storyline, which means the previous two movies will not be retconned. As it stands, Deadpool will actually be the only Fox/Marvel property that would stay the same, though he will get slight adjustments for the MCU. No word as to whether this affects the X-Men characters who appeared in Deadpool films, such as Colossus or Juggernaut, but the original X-Men films won’t be carried into the MCU.

The most exciting aspect of the MCU fitting the X-Men into its universe is finding a way to cast all of the characters with the best choice of actors/actresses. It's a hard feat, to say the least. There are multiple X-Men characters to make use of, which is no comparison to the handful of Avengers used in the first two films. However, it’s one step at a time, so right now fans can take comfort in knowing that Deadpool will be making his way on over to the MCU family.

Deadpool 3 is currently in development.
