Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds is facing desperation as Disney shelves the plans for the third installment of the popular franchise, Deadpool. Reynolds, who plays the titular character, expressed his disappointment over the news. Disney, which acquired the rights to the character as part of their acquisition of Fox, has apparently decided to put the project on hold due to its R-rated nature. This decision comes as a blow to Reynolds, who has been championing for the production of Deadpool 3.

Deadpool, known for its irreverent humor and graphic violence, has been a successful franchise, with the first two films grossing over $1.

5 billion worldwide. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the third film, hoping for another dose of the anti-hero's antics. However, it seems that Deadpool may not fit into Disney's family-friendly image, hence the hesitation.

Reynolds took to social media to share his disappointment. In a post on Twitter, the actor stated that he had been working tirelessly with the writers and directors to create an amazing story for the third film. He also hinted that the delay might be due to creative differences between Disney and the Deadpool team.

Fans are now left wondering if Deadpool 3 will ever see the light of day.

Some speculate that Disney may eventually give in to the demand for an R-rated superhero film, given the fandom and financial success of the first two movies. Others remain skeptical, believing that Disney will prioritize its family-friendly branding over the desires of the fans. Only time will tell if Reynolds and the Deadpool team can convince Disney to reconsider their decision.
