‘Deadpool 3’ Taps ‘Bob’s Burgers’ Writers The Molyneux Sisters
Emmy-winning writers Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux have been tapped to write “Deadpool 3,” with Ryan Reynolds set to return as the foul-mouthed mercenary.
The Molyneux sisters are longtime writing partners, known for their Emmy Award-winning work on Fox’s “Bob’s Burgers.” The pair have also been nominated for three WGA Awards and won an Annie Award in 2017. The Molyneuxs also serve as creators, showrunners and executive producers on the animated comedy “The Great North,” which earned a second-season renewal ahead of its February 2021 premiere.
In addition to playing the wise-cracking mercenary turned superhero Wade Wilson (a.k.a. Deadpool), Reynolds also produces the films, alongside Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner, and he is reported to have been actively involved in choosing the Molyneux sisters to write the film’s script.
