'Deadpool 3' will 'totally happen', says creator Rob Liefeld

Los Angeles: "Deadpool" creator Rob Liefeld has promised the third installment of the popular comic book series will definitely happen.

Liefeld, who co-created the Merc With a Mouth with Fabian Nicieza, held a Q&A session with his followers on Twitter on Thursday.

A worried fan asked him if a third movie, fronted by Ryan Reynolds, in the franchise was in the works post Disney-Fox merger.

"Since we're desperate and you're our last hope for answers... do you have any news on a third Deadpool film from Marvel Studios?" the fan asked.

Liefeld assured the follower, simply saying, "It will totally happen! Soon!"

A third film has not yet been confirmed by the studio.

The second part, "Deadpool 2", released in 2018.
