While Deadpool & Wolverine debunked fears that Deadpool’s best years were behind him, the future for Ryan Reynolds’ iconic character hasn’t been straightforward since. There have been rumblings and theories, but there’s no telling when Deadpool will pop up next. Reynolds seemed to tease that his katana-swinging anti-hero would play a role in Marvel’s upcoming Avengers film, Doomsday, and he’s also, according to some insiders, quietly at work on a treatment for a new Deadpool-centric film. Whatever form his next outing takes, however, he’ll be taking a back seat.
Reynolds confirmed as much in an appearance on Today, echoing prior reports in his own words. “I have some stuff kind of written,” the actor revealed, “but I don’t think I am ever going to center [Deadpool] again.”
