As it turns out, Deadpool 3 might be further along than anyone anticipated. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are back with the franchise, having their go at the threequel’s script. Not only are the duo being joined by frequent Ryan Reynolds collaborator Shawn Levy in the director’s chair, but it looks like the picture has found another major crew member.

Outside of Marvel Studios, Chan has also worked with Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men) and Ridley Scott (Robin Hood). After working in art departments, Chan’s latest credits have come as production designer on Disney+’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Paramount’s Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
ย “We want to make it great,” Reese said in a wide-ranging interview withย The Playlist. “We’re in the laboratory working on it with Ryan Reynolds all the time, and we’re very much entertaining ourselves.”
He added, “So, hopefully, that translates and ultimately will entertain the world. But you know, it’s a marriage between Fox and Disney and it’s two different universes and it’s not easy. But it’s also a wonderful challenge and, you know, high-class problems to be able to merge those, those worlds. So, we’re, we’re enjoying it.”
Deadpool 3ย has yet to set a release date.
