Ryan Reynolds' return as Deadpool in Deadpool 2 introduced the live-screen X-Force in 2018. However, the team of superheroes quickly met a bloody end, with Shatterstar, played by Lewis Tan, meeting a particularly grisly demise. Reynolds recently referenced Shatterstar in a post, hinting at the upcoming Deadpool 3 and sparking new fan theories.

The entire cast from previous Deadpool films is confirmed to return for the third installment, and director Shawn Levy has hinted at the possibility of the original X-Men cast reprising their roles. Deadpool 3 promises a large cast and an exciting storyline, with no limits to creative freedom thanks to the Marvel multiverse.

Despite the film's anticipation, there have been rumors of behind-the-scenes issues at Marvel Studios. Disappointing box office and critical reception of recent Marvel films has put the studio on edge. Rumors of creative differences and leaked information about Deadpool 3 have led to speculation that Ryan Reynolds may lose his role as Deadpool. This uncertainty has created concern for the future of the franchise.

On the other hand, Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine, has been promoting the film and generating excitement by teasing his possible involvement. There are also rumors of Taylor Swift's potential participation.

Whether Deadpool 3 will solely focus on mutants or serve as an MCU reboot remains unknown until its release.

Overall, fans are eager for the release of Deadpool 3, especially after Reynolds' playful reference to Shatterstar. However, concerns about the future of the franchise and the potential loss of Reynolds as Deadpool could spell trouble for the beloved character. Only time will tell what direction the film will take.
