Deadpool 3 Director Confirms film IS Part of the MCU.. Duh...

Marvel fans can now rest easy about one major question hanging over Deadpool 3: it is unquestionably a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is according to director Shawn Levy.

Levy was discussing whether or not the avalanche of wild rumors surrounding Deadpool 3 were true with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. This includes the widely held belief that the plot of the movie revolves around Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool running across dimensions to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the Fox X-Men Movie Universe.

"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."
