Deadpool 3 Director Confirms Movie is Part of the MCU.
Shawn Levy, the director of Deadpool 3, has reassured Marvel fans that the film is indeed an integral part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. During a conversation with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Levy addressed the myriad rumors circulating about the film. These include the long-standing speculation that the movie’s plot revolves around an interdimensional escapade featuring Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, bridging the gap between the Fox X-Men Movie Universe and the MCU.
Such a journey would carry significant implications for the MCU, potentially heralding the reboot of the entire X-Men franchise under the Marvel Studios umbrella. While Levy remains cautious not to divulge major spoilers, he does confirm that Deadpool 3 will be a crucial chapter in the MCU Multiverse Saga.
He stated, “I’m so wary of giving anything away because I’ve learned the hard way that even with a few titles – like any Marvel title – everything and anything you say can lead to not only rumors but misinformation. I’ll just say this: It’s very much part of the MCU, what a privilege, what a wealth of resources and knowledge.”
Although it’s challenging to deduce the full extent of Levy’s implications, it appears that Deadpool 3 might play a more pivotal role in the Marvel Multiverse Saga than initially thought.

The departure of the Fox X-Men movie universe could become a significant incursion event leading to an eventual conflict like Avengers: Secret Wars. Many Marvel enthusiasts speculate that the surviving characters from the X-Men Movie Universe could emerge as some of the most formidable adversaries for the MCU Avengers when they inevitably converge in the reconfigured remains of the multiverse under Kang’s reign.

However, Shawn Levy underscores that despite these potentially monumental developments on the horizon, the primary objective of the creative team behind Deadpool 3 is to craft an exceptional Deadpool movie. Levy emphasized, “The biggest thrill for Hugh, Ryan, and I is that we’re making very much the movie we hoped to make. One hears rumors all the time – good, bad, everywhere in between – about what certain studios are like to work at. I’ll just say that this Deadpool movie co-starring Wolverine is very much aligned with the DNA of the Deadpool franchise, and there’s been nothing but support in making the movie audacious, gritty, hilarious, and gnarly.”
