Ryan Reynold's personal trainer hints Deadpool 3 is in production

A personal trainer famed for “training superheroes” has hinted that Ryan Reynolds is getting in shape to prepare for Deadpool 3, after posting a photo with the Canadian actor.

Don Saladino took to Instagram to share a photo with the caption “and so it begins…”, meaning the actor will soon play his part as Wade Wilson and the 'Merc with the Mouth' once again.

Reynolds is already looking toned in the photo, as he flaunts his bulging biceps and strong shoulders.

The Hitman's Bodyguard actor replied to the post teasing that ‘training is a negotiation’.

Very little is known about the third instalment of the film franchise, but the threequel is confirmed to be part of the MCU and will make history as the first MCU movie with an R-rating.

Details surrounding Deadpool’s impending arrival in the MCU remain scarce, but it is expected to be ground-breaking and could even rival some of the biggest threequels in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios sat down with The Hollywood Reporter and promised a “big swing” for the third Deadpool film.

Reynolds replied to the post teasing that ‘training is a negotiation’ (@donsaladino)

He said: “How do we elevate it in the way we’ve been able to with Civil War , and Infinity War and Ragnarok ?

“It’s very fun to be in the world of the Ryan Reynolds show.”

Writers of American sitcom Bob’s Burgers, Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin have been commissioned to write the third movie.

According to Collider, Reynolds and the Marvel team agreed their pitch was ideal for Deadpool’s introduction into the MCU.

A release date for the third instalment has still not been confirmed, but Feige revealed last year that production would commence sometime in 2022.

He said: “It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan’s overseeing a script right now… It will not be [filming] this year. Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor.

“We’ve got a number of things we’ve already announced that we now have to make, but it’s exciting for it to have begun. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life.”

Based on Don Saladino's post, it looks like Reynolds is preparing for production to kick off this year.

It remains to be seen just what Deadpool 3’s character will look like, but with the little information we have so far, he’ll probably be similar to the pre-MCU Deadpool.
