Ryan Reynolds has provided an update on Deadpool 3, commenting on the possibility that cameras will start rolling next year. Speaking to Collider, Reynolds said the project is in active development and is in "pretty good shape," but he couldn't be specific on the chance that production will actually begin in 2022.
"The percentage chance? I don't know. I couldn't assign a percentage to that. I'd say it's 50/50 maybe? We're really actively developing it and getting it into pretty good shape," he said. "What the hell month is it? August? Oh next year? Probably pretty damn good. I'd say 70%."

Now Playing: Free Guy - Official Trailer
Deadpool 3's script is being written by Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux, who wrote for Bob's Burgers previously. While Reynolds couldn't say for sure if Deadpool 3 will begin filming next year, he praised the writing team and said it's been fun working with them.
"It's something that is just a daily process. Writing is kind of like that, you've gotta allot time to do it and walk away, and I'm working with the Molyneuxs on it; it's been great," he said. "They're incredibly talented and so, so smart. They so understand that world and know how to zig when everyone's expecting a zag, so it's been a lot of fun."
Deadpool 1 and 2 were released by 20th Century Fox, a movie studio that has since been purchased by Disney. There were questions about whether or not the family friendly Disney would keep making R-rated Deadpool movies, but Disney chief Bob Iger would later confirm on an earnings call that Disney would "continue in that business" in the future.
"We do believe there is room for the Fox properties to exist without significant Disney influence over the nature of the content, meaning that we see that there is certainly popularity amongst Marvel fans for the R-rated Deadpool films, as a for instance," Iger said. "We're going to continue in that business, and there might be room for more of that."
While we'll have to wait a while for Deadpool 3, Reynolds recently reprised the role in a promo for his new movie Free Guy, which comes to theaters on August 13.
