With Deadpool & Wolverine taking the world by storm since its release, becoming the highest-grossing Deadpool movie in the franchise, fans are keen to know what's next for the Merc with a Mouth.

"I would say that Shawn and I have been pretty clear," Reynolds said. "I think, in the most loving way, because talk about the greatest uptown problem any human beings could have is a studio like that saying, ‘What’s next?’ Or ‘How can we make something else?’
"But this movie was made as a complete experience. It wasn’t meant to be a commercial for another movie. It wasn’t meant to be any of that stuff. And, I think I get a great deal of joy making a movie like that.
"But honestly, right in this moment, I have no idea if I’ll ever wear that Deadpool suit again — I hope I do — but I don’t know. Right now’s the time to just kind of hang it up for a bit and see what happens next."

Opening up about Disney's involvement in the film, which is the first R-rated for Marvel Studios, Levy said he never felt "pressured" to make another film in the franchise.
Levy said: "A lot of people have asked me, ‘Were you pressured to service the next movie or set up something in Avengers?’
"Really, to their credit, neither Disney or Marvel ever asked us to serve anything beyond one really satisfying self-contained story. And we made exactly that with their support. So, as far as the future, time will tell."
Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in cinemas.
