There's some obvious spinoffs coming out of pre-release cosplay.
A big part of Deadpool 2 is setting up the X-Force spinoff, which will pick up on the team formed by Wade. While X-Force will include Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool it has its own creative team, separate from the Deadpool franchise lead by director and writer, Drew Goddard. X-Force will be the next Deadpool spinoff and it might even lead to Josh Brolin's Cable and Zazie Beetz' Domino getting their own standalone movies. Yet as far as the writing duo behind Deadpool 2 is concerned, Peter is the future.

In our exclusive interview with the scribes behind Deadpool 2, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, the pair wasted no time in saying they want Peter to have his own spinoff. Reese said of the potential movie:
Yeah. It could get a little boring. I mean, he’s out behind the house doing his beekeeping and working on payroll during the day and stuff like that.
However when it was pointed out that Peter could buy some of his beloved khakis, the duo were a little forthcoming on the future of the character.
Rhett Reese: Yeah. Buying some khakis. Going to J. Crew to buy some dockers. But yeah, we’d love to see more of Peter.
Paul Wernick: And probably will.
The idea of a full-fledged Peter spinoff is most likely a pipe dream. The Deadpool franchise is unstoppable, going from the movie that almost didn't get made to Fox's most successful, by far, superhero franchise. Still, it would be a pretty hard sell to have a feature film devoted to Peter being Peter, which is doing precisely nothing interesting. Peter's whole shtick is that he doesn't belong. The Deadpool 2 team is very talented, including Reese and Wernick, but even they can't make that minor joke work for a whole movie.
However, it's pretty obvious that Deadpool 2 won't be the first and last time fans see Peter. A feature film spin-off might not work but Peter could easily get a short film, released online or even in Deadpool 2's home release. Peter is definitely best used in small doses.
Of course there's also a chance of Peter popping up in the bring back Dopinder, Deadpool's taxi driver, other than the actor and character were a lot of fun in the first movie.
Peter has been embraced a lot more than Dopinder, at least in the build-up to Deadpool 2's release. It's likely that he'll end up occupying the same space as Dopinder. Peter will be a funny side character that fans will enjoy but don't necessarily need to see more of in a standalone capacity.
Although a Deadpool 2 spinoff that combines Peter and Dopinder into one wild misadventure could be just hilarious enough to work.
