Deadpool was one of the few characters owned by a studio other than Disney that came to Marvel Studios in Disney's $71.3 billion Fox acquisition in March.
The merger between Disney and Fox led to speculation that Reynolds as Deadpool will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe but the writers insist that "there's a lot to be sorted out" before shooting on the third movie can begin.
After the merger, there were concerns that the foul-mouthed hero would be restrained by Disney and it would be the end of the Rated R comic book films. Disney CEO Bob Iger had insisted that the "merc with a mouth" will stay the same and be adult-orientated.
Screenwriters Rheet Reese and Paul Wernick are preparing a script for a new movie featuring Reynolds as the titular star.
