The star even embraced the news with a cleverly photoshopped image featuring the Merc with a mouth, the character from The Adam Project and Free Guy. “The third film in my Shawn Levy trilogy will be a tad more stabby,” the actor wrote.

All I need is for #Deadpool to break the 4th wall in the #MCU by making fun of us hardcore fans….

Deadpool 3 has been the most anticipated Marvel project that unfortunately got sidelined due to the Disney-fox acquisition. Luckily, the merger has bid farewell to the character and in fact, rumors are that Deadpool has a cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Though, it remains to be seen if the anti-hero would be introduced in a cameo fashion for MCU Phase 4.
