Director Shawn Levy on Synchronicity Between His “Deadpool 3” and Secret “Star Wars” Movie

Deadpool Makes His Pitch to Enter the MCU in Hilarious “Free Guy” Reaction Video
Well, Deadpool’s back, and he’s brought a friend in a 4-minute plus reaction video to the Free Guy trailer.

It’s official—Disney and Fox have settled on a rather large deal, to the tune of $52 billion, which gives the Mouse House all of 21st Century Fox’s film rights.

Might a Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Actually Become Reality?

Screenwriters Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick on Deadpool 2 & More
Screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have created the perfect recipe for mixing high-octane action, gore, and comedy without being heavy handed. The duo struck gold with Zombieland and if you thought their success might be a fluke, they came back and did it again in Deadpool. The R-rated Marvel box-office smash was just nominated for two Golden Globes, thanks in no small part to Reese and Wernick's mastery of combining humor and action. Their ability to mix genres could be disastrous in less skilled hands.
