A sequel of the highly successful Deadpool movie has been a topic of many speculations and conversations among Hollywood's writers, directors, and celebrities which made Deadpool 2 an already foregone conclusion. However, 20th Century Fox just confirmed what everyone was talking for a long time. Deadpool 2 will return to the screens.

As reported by ComicBook, the movie is expected to summon the brilliance of director Tim Miller and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Reprising his role once more is actor Ryan Reynolds who breathed life to the comic book character. And of course, Cable will surely be joining him in the cast.

The first movie have been hugely successful worldwide and Fox simply wants to duplicate the box office hit with the forthcoming sequel. As reported by Variety, Deadpool raked as much as $757.3 million globally (almost hitting the $1 billion mark) making it the highest-grossing R-graded film to date with just a mere $58 million budget. Furthermore, the immense success of the movie did much to revive Reynold's plunging career with a dismal viewership of his DC-based film 'Green Lantern'.

Meanwhile, another 20th Century Fox revelation at CinemaCon is surely giving Avatar fans much anticipation and excitement as legendary director James Cameron announced the fourth follow-up to the highest-grossing film of all times.

Originally, Cameron envisioned of presenting the content in three movies until he realized there's just too much material that wouldn't fit in merely three movies. As reported by NBC News, the first of the four will be available for theatrical release in 2018 with the subsequent movies due to appear in 2020, 2022, and 2023.

"I've been working the last couple of years with a team of four top screenwriters...So far, the art I'm seeing, is in pure imagination, really far beyond the first film. It's going to be a true epic saga," Cameron said as quoted by CNN. When the film debuted in 2009, it raked $2.8 billion in profits.
