Ryan Reynolds Reportedly Trying To Patch Things Up With Disney Now
Ever since
Deadpool 3 was announced to be in active development at Marvel Studios, with the Molyneux sisters on board to pen the script, the Merc with a Mouth’s next standalone film has been the subject of a whole heap of rumors and much speculation. But as of yet, we really don’t know a lot about it.
What we can say with absolute certainty, however, is that it’ll be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first R-rated effort and act as official canon, and it’s not going to shoot until 2022 at the earliest, but that’s really it. Everything else remains in the realm of unconfirmed intel for now, and will stay that way for some time.

Star Wars show to look forward to after development on
Rangers of the New Republic was halted. Lucasfilm didn’t even make a public announcement, with the reveal being buried in an article concerning Dave Filoni’s promotion to Executive Creative Director instead.
Rangers of the New Republic getting put on ice is probably the exact same one as why they’ve stopped moving forward on the project, namely Gina Carano. The former Cara Dune was a lightning rod for controversy on social media, culminating in the Mouse House severing all ties with the actress and ex-MMA fighter after she crossed a line in the eyes of the top brass.
However, the Shrek that we saw wasn't the original vision for the film as Chris Farley was originally cast in the role. With 20 years of hindsight, let's take a look at all the parties involved and how different it could've turned out.
