In an interview with a YouTube channel, Liefeld talked about the future of Deadpool 3 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He said that he does not know. He stated that people do not want to hear, but he will say it as he is a realist and thanked god for it. He feels movies like Deadpool have set sail. He says people just need to calm down and realise that Deadpool 1 and 2 were released within two years of each other, 2016 and 2018, and he is not really that crazy about Marvel’s plan right now.

In October 2019, Rob Liefeld took to Twitter to reveal that he would no longer be working for Marvel Studios. It is speculated that even if he is not happy with the direction that Marvel Studios is going with the character, it is difficult to determine the credibility of his claim. Ryan Reynolds, who portrayed Wade Wilson /Deadpool in both the films, has stated that he does not feel like an insider at all with the studio, but could get more intimate if they make a third film. However, Deadpool 3 would be “a win for everyone involved,” if made with the character being allowed to play in the sandbox.
