Deadpool 3 (20th Century Fox version)

From Cancelled Movies Wiki

Deadpool 3 was 20th Century Fox's planned sequel to 2018's Deadpool 2 and would have been an installment in the X Men film series with only Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, and Morena Baccarin reprising their roles.

Plot

According to Ryan Reynolds on lockdown Instagram live in an early draft using both his drafts and 2 elements from Tim Miller's original storyboards for Deadpool 2 Wade, Cable, and Russel were going to travel to across to Canada and find the old weapon x facility where Ajax once worked and find a new serum which could have revived his deceased fiance' Vanessa transforming her into comic book alter ego Copycat while also taking on the villains Lady Deathstrike, Mister Sinister, Omega Red and possibly Juggernaut again. Also according to Ryan Reynolds, it was supposed to be Wolverine and Deadpool road trip movie. The latter fact has been partially confirmed with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine being in the cast for the MCU Deadpool 3. It is most likely that the upcoming MCU version could possibly include something to do with the Multiverse, as Deadpool was originally owned by 20th Century Fox before the acquisition.
