For a generation of moviegoers, Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool – the profane, violent and admittedly, lovable mercenary who’s now a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s been a couple of years since audiences have seen the Merc with a Mouth on the big screen, as he last appeared in the box office hit Deadpool & Wolverine in 2024. Many have been itching to know what lies ahead for the red-and-black clad character. Reynolds made some comments about that earlier this year but is now backtracking in a way that I’m actually fine with.
Reynolds teased his future plans for the character this past spring during an interview, saying that he had “some stuff kind of written.” However, he notably said he didn’t have plans to make another solo film involving Wade Wilson. Furthermore, the Canadian star asserted that Wilson would work better as a “supporting character” and that “He’s a guy who is great in a group.” These comments surely came as a surprise to fans, especially considering how successful DP’s film series has been.
