Though Deadpool and Deadpool 2 were both big successes for 20th Century Fox, the series’ future became unclear when The Walt Disney Company purchased the studio. Deadpool‘s R-rated flavor doesn’t fit with the PG-13 tone of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but all indications from the producers on the series suggest that Deadpool movies will remain R-rated going forward. The character’s fourth-wall-breaking metacommentary provides ample opportunity to crack jokes about switching studios.
Deadpool and Deadpool 2 remain two of the highest-grossing R-rated movies in box office history. The first Deadpool movie made more than $780 million at the worldwide box office. Deadpool 2, which introduced Josh Brolin as Cable and Zazie Beetz as Domino, earned more than $730 million.

Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld remained bullish about Deadpool’s cinematic future, saying in a recent interview, “You know, I just hope they can get it together. Fans want it. Fans want to see it. The whole thing about Deadpool is that culture moves so fast now and two years ago feels like twenty. There were two R-rated movies โ and they were R-rated movies โ that together made $1.2 billion and yes, I looked at those and counted them up.”
