In June, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said in response to the successes that, though that company was not planning any R - rated films for its Marvel Cinematic Universe, "it's not out of the question". After the proposed acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney was announced in December 2017, Disney CEO Bob Iger said that the company would be willing to make future R - rated Marvel films like Deadpool, potentially under a "Marvel - R" brand, "as long as we let the audiences know what's coming". </P> <P> Before the film's release, Fox gave a sequel the greenlight, with writers Reese and Wernick returning to write the screenplay . The involvement of Reynolds and Tim Miller was confirmed at the 2016 CinemaCon in April, but at the end of October, Miller left the film over "mutual creative differences" with Reynolds . The next month, David Leitch signed on to replace Miller for the sequel, while Fox was looking for another filmmaker to take on a third film .

A slightly different version of the short was produced for release online on March 4, 2017 . </P> <P> Deadpool 2 was released on May 18, 2018, with Leitch directing from a screenplay by Reese and Wernick .

Miller, Uggams, Hildebrand, and Kapičić . After an extensive search, Josh Brolin was cast as Cable in April . The film explores the team X-Force, which includes Deadpool and Cable . In March 2017, Reese clarified that though Deadpool 2 sets - up the X-Force team, a future film focused on that group would be separate from Deadpool 3, "so I think we'll be able to take two paths . (X-Force) is where we're launching something bigger, but then (Deadpool 3 is) where we're contracting and staying personal and small ." After the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney was announced in December 2017, Bob Iger said that Deadpool would be integrated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe under Disney . </P>
