While unconfirmed, the idea of Deadpool 3 featuring multiple versions of its lead heroes from across the multiverse does track with persistent rumors that the film will prominently feature the Time Variance Authority (TVA).

Following the first two Deadpool films, which took place in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men movie universe, the tentatively titled Deadpool 3 will see Reynolds’ Wade Wilson/Deadpool make the jump to the MCU. He won’t be alone, however, with the upcoming threequel also featuring Jackman’s return as James “Logan” Howlett/Wolverine.
