Deadpool writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese a few months ago also said that they were waiting for the Marvel bosses to tell them when to start the shooting of the sequel. In another interview, they also assured that the movie won't be a watered-down version of the Deadpool franchise and they further added that the plan is to continue “Deadpool in his R-rated universe that he lives in”. 

Wernick said Deadpool 3 is a special project for them and one that deserves a "wonderful and great" idea. "We will continue to trade texts back and forth with Ryan until we land on it, and then my guess is we'll be off writing soon after that," he added. Previously, Reynolds, who co-wrote Deadpool 2 with Reese and Wernick, said the franchise will go in a "completely different direction" with the third movie.
