No.
On Sept. 2022, <PERSON> and <PERSON> announced on <PERSON>'s Twitter account: (tweet 1) (tweet 2), that <PERSON> will reprise his role as <PERSON> in a third Deadpool film to be released in 2024. This <PERSON> film will be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While many beloved comic book stars have been played by multiple actors, there’s really only been one <PERSON> in the movies. “Well, I was greedy,” <PERSON> says. “I held on to it for 20 years. And then, of course, since I left, it’s been bought by Disney. I’m sure the plans are afoot.”
A few weeks later, I talk to <PERSON> on the phone, and those plans are clear. “I straight-up lied,” he says. “But you’re not the only one I lied to, let me tell you.”
He really meant it when he said he was retiring as <PERSON>. But then in 2016, “I went to a screening of ‘Deadpool.’ I was 20 minutes in, and I was like, ‘Ah, damn it!’ All I kept seeing in my head was ‘48 Hours’ with <PERSON> and <PERSON>. So it’s been brewing for a long time. 26
It just took me longer to get here.”
At the end of August, during a road trip to the beach with his family, he finally made the decision. He called <PERSON>, who’d been pleading “on the daily” for a <PERSON>-Deadpool movie. “I think, actually, he’d given up,” <PERSON> says. “I think it was a big shock to him. There was a massive pause, and then he said, ‘I can’t believe the timing of this.’”
<PERSON> was about to meet with Marvel Studios president <PERSON> about “Deadpool 3.” With <PERSON> in, the rest is comic book movie history.
“Oh my God, I’m thrilled,” <PERSON> tells me. “It’s like old home week. To get to be on set with one of my closest friends each and every day is a dream come true. But to do it with these two iconic characters side by side, that’s beyond our wildest dreams.” <PERSON> adds that the first time he talked to <PERSON> — three and a half years ago after Disney bought Fox — he’d pushed for bringing in Wolverine. “It wasn’t possible then,” <PERSON> says. “For this to be happening now is pretty damn exciting.”
