Deadpool and Wolverine isn't even out in cinemas yet, but that hasn't stopped executive producer Wendy Jacobson from dreaming of more exciting team-ups for the red leather-clad Merc with the Mouth.

"I love to see him bounce off of Thor," she grinned, when GamesRadar+ asked who she'd most like to have Ryan Reynold's wise-cracking Wade Wilson share a movie with next. "I just think Chris Hemsworth is hilarious and is so quick with the comedy, and they're both such great dramatic actors, too. 

"I'd love to see it because Deadpool is such a fanboy in general and I've read so many comics, too, where he just finds Thor so dreamy. I think that'd be a new interesting dynamic for the two of them. He'd just be in love with him because he's so gorgeous, it'd just be great." 

Directed by Stranger Things' Shawn Levy, Deadpool 3 sees the titular antihero join forces with a reluctant Logan (Hugh Jackman) to save his friends and family from a TVA-related disaster. Beyond that? Marvel is keeping the plot a secret, though we do know that the unlikely duo will have a run-in with Charles Xavier's evil twin sister Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) along the way.

"Every single person, in every position, in every department is at the top of their game, and more importantly, a really wonderful human. Like, even if you didn't work with them, you'd want to hang out with them. I think I stopped being terrified of Kevin Feige, probably within the last year or so," Jacobson laughs. "But I think that's been the most surprising thing... they're humans, just like us."

Deadpool and Wolverine releases on July 25 in the UK, and a day later in the US. For more, check out all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows on the way, as well as our guide to how to watch the Marvel movies in order.
