‘Deadpool 3’ Writers Say The Film Is Staying R-Rated & Marvel Won’t Make A “Disney-fied ‘Deadpool'”

EXCLUSIVE: WME has signed Eric Warren Singer, one of the screenwriters behind Paramount’s summer smash Top Gun: Maverick.

“Deadpool 3” will be the third film in the series, but the first time the merc with a mouth enters the MCU. And while Marvel fans are eager to see Ryan Reynolds constantly quip, break the fourth wall, and regenerate after being killed in another romp, it’s still unknown how Deadpool will fit into Phase 4’s larger saga.

Paramount expected big things from “Top Gun: Maverick,” but maybe not this big. In only three weeks in theaters, the film has soared past the $800 million mark at the global box office.

In this episode of The Discourse Podcast, we talk to screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Known for being the writers behind the “Zombieland” and “Deadpool” franchises, Reese and Wernick’s latest movie is “Spiderhead,” an adaptation of a George Saunders dystopian sci-fi short story directed by Joseph Kosinski for Netflix.

Filmmaker Joseph Kosinski (“Oblivion,” “Only The Brave”) is having a hell of a year. His first film of 2022, a little movie called, “Top Gun: Maverick” had been the number one movie in the world at the box office, and is currently the #1 domestic movie of the year, having grossed over $400 million stateside, even beating out Marvel’s “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness.” Having grossed $755 million so far and maybe on its way to cracking $1 billion, Kosinski has yet another movie on the way.

Sci-fi thriller Spiderhead lands on Netflix this week and sees Marvel's Chris Hemsworth star in the dystopian film.

Zack Sharf Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are currently writing “Deadpool 3” for director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds. Reese is assuring fans that the script is not going to be “Disney-fied.”The upcoming third installment of the “Deadpool” franchise will be the first made under Disney, which acquired Fox in 2019, after Fox found immense success with two R-rated “Deadpool” movies (both of which earned more than $780 million worldwide).

Refresh for latest…: Paramount/Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick, as projected yesterday, has flown past $500M worldwide, with $548.6M through its first two frames.

This does not include big Tom Cruise hub Korea which rolls out on June 23 (nor are China and Russia in the mix).

With “Top Gun: Maverick” finally in theaters and “Spiderhead” on the way to both theaters and Netflix later this month, Joseph Kosinski is having a career moment. And it’s a well-deserved moment.

Vulture.Perhaps now better known as the director of “Top Gun: Maverick,” Kosinski said he had a three-quel called “Tron: Ascention” was fully written and storyboarded before it was de-rezzed. The script turned the “Tron” concept inside-out by bringing computerized characters out into the real world – an idea that “Legacy” spent much of its runtime setting up, as the film ended with grid-only character Quora (Olivia Wilde) arriving on Earth’s material plane.The $400 million global box office haul for “Legacy” wasn’t enough to get it immediately greenlit, and along came shiner objects at Disney, Kosinski said. “Legacy” was a success by all standards of a “cult hit,” however, from its glassy, glow-in-the-dark stylings to an exhilarating soundtrack by Daft Punk – but for now, it stands as the franchise’s end of line.“I got so close.
