The fate of the Deadpool film franchise following Disney's acquisition of Fox has been left somewhat uncertain. New reports suggest that Disney, through subsidiary Marvel Studios, will not alter the franchise too much from the tone that fans have praised.Reporter Justin Kroll added, "Sources now say the film is still expected to be rated R like the previous two installments." In addition, Deadline has reported that the development of Deadpool 3 with Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin attached to write after pitching to Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds.RELATED: Josh Brolin Had More Freedom Playing Thanos Than Deadpool's Cable

Fox's Deadpool franchise began as a spinoff of the X-Men film series and introduced a new Wade Wilson to the film universe, one more faithful to the comic book series created by writer Fabian Nicieza and writer and artist Rob Liefeld. Unlike the majority of the X-Men films, Deadpool and its 2018 sequel were given an R-rating and both went on to become some of the highest-grossing films with such a rating, topped only by 2019's Joker.

The last entry, Deadpool 2, introduced a variation of X-Force, comprised of Domino, Shatterstar, Bedlam, Vanisher, Zeitgeist and Peter. However, with the exception of Domino and Peter -- through a post-credits scene along with Vanessa -- the entire team was killed during the convoy heist. An X-Force film was announced to be in development, but the project was placed on hold during the Disney-Fox acquisition.
