Then there are the abuse allegations against Kang actor Jonathan Majors, which has put his Marvel career and the studios’ plans in doubt.
In the end, there’s also speculation surrounding Victoria Alonso, the former VFX and post-production boss’ unexpected firing. If that wasn’t enough, the revolving door of writers entering and exiting projects has made fans worry about how the next films will turn out.

While many are skeptical about Zeb Wells due to his association with theShe-Hulkshow, those worries might be unfounded. After all, episode 7 is one of the highest-rated episodes of the show and is seen positively by the fanbase. Also, his Emmy award forRobot Chicken, a stop-motion animated series that was full of quirky humor and pop-culture references makes him the right person to writeDeadpool 3. It remains to be seen if Wells can prove fans wrong and write a great script for the highly anticipated film.
Deadpool 3will be released on July 10, 2025.
