There is no plot description for Deadpool 3, but past instalments have followed the exploits of Wade Wilson (Reynolds), a foul-mouthed mercenary who finds himself transformed into the immortal superhero Deadpool after undergoing a disfiguring experiment. Following Disney’s acquisition of Fox, which screened the first two instalments, Deadpool 3 will be the very first movie in the franchise that includes Marvel boss Kevin Feige.
