Deadpool fans will have to wait for nearly another two years until their (anti)hero returns to the big screen on November 8, 2024.
Shawn Levy, who takes over directing duties from Tim Miller (Deadpool) and David Leitch (Deadpool 2), is currently in the process of developing the story and the script for the official introduction of Deadpool into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And he is having a lot of fun at it: "We are writing, rewriting, developing, prepping ‘Deadpool’ every day now. It is such a blast to laugh every day. It is so delicious to hear and write and come up with these scenes where people are just talking foul."
Deadpool 3 will see the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, who technically died in Logan (2017), but thanks to time travel and the wonders of the Multiverse, "no one's really ever gone." A recent tweet from Miss Minutes, the cute watchface/timekeeper that was introduced in Loki, hints that Deadpool's path and that of the MCU could cross by way of the Time Variance Authority (TVA).
This would make sense, as Deadpool received a time-traveling device from Cable at the end of Deadpool 2 and immediately started to mess around with it, which surely would alert the TVA.
After the acquisition of 20th Century Fox and the official announcement that Deadpool would join the MCU, many fans started to worry that the third installment would be watered down, due to Disney's intention to keep the Marvel movies PG-13. But Levy also addressed these worries:
"And the violence is in your face and hardcore, and it’s very much a ‘Deadpool’ movie. I have to say, developing a ‘Deadpool’ movie is one of the most fun creative experiences of my life because it’s not just that it’s rated R. It’s that it’s so filled with self-awareness, and that makes in-writing very, very fun in a way that is unique to that franchise.”
Shooting for Deadpool 3 will begin next May, followed by the typical one-year+ phase of post-production, where all the special effects that are a tentpole of MCU movies will be included. But despite all the CGI extravaganza, Levy promises that Deadpool 3 will stay true to the nature of the character:
"It’s also a North Star priority for Ryan and I to keep Deadpool raw, gritty, grounded in the ways that those movies have been and that all of us love."
