Worrisome Update From Deadpool Star Puts Marvel's Threequel in Jeopardy
Deadpool movies have been a massive commercial success, winning the audience's good graces immediately after hitting the theaters.
Marvel's good old formula of being non-offensive and avoiding explicit content was completely disrupted by this franchise, and it's largely the reason for the fans' love.
The talks about the third movie have been out and about for a long time now, and since it's supposed to be Deadpool 's last solo film, there's no surprise that the anticipation is this high.
Fans come up with their own ideas of what the last part can be about — some even think that Deadpool will be his own antagonist!
Regardless of the anticipation, the filming process hasn't even started yet, and we have some questionable news from one of Deadpool's main stars.
Yesterday, Morena Baccarin (who played Deadpool's wife Vanessa) appeared on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You show on YouTube.
During the interview, she revealed that there still hasn't been a deal between her and Marvel Studios.
It wouldn't have been an issue if not for the fact that her character is at this point crucial for the movie: in Deadpool 2, Vanessa dies at the beginning of the film (which makes her husband plummet into deep suicidal depression) but then is triumphally saved via time travel at the end of it.
This makes up a no-excuse situation for not having Vanessa in part three; however, according to Morena Baccarin, the conversations are still going on and no middle ground regarding her participation in the movie has been reached yet.
Morena claims that even though both she and Marvel Studios want her to come back as Vanessa in Deadpool 3, the parties can't come to an arrangement that would satisfy them both.
They're trying their best in the negotiation process, but there's no certainty about how the situation plays out in the end. "It may or may not work out. I don't know," says Ms. Baccarin.
This statement doesn't remotely feel optimistic, and this puts Deadpool 3 in a tough spot: if the studio can't get Morena on board, they'll have to either find a different actress (which is lame for the last part of a trilogy) or kill off Vanessa off-screen (which would be awful since her death was such a big deal and was grandiosely reverted at the end of Deadpool 2).
