Actor Ryan Reynolds confirmed in an interview with the program "Sunday Today" that he has written some ideas for the return of the character Deadpool within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he clarified that the character will not return as the main hero in a new standalone film.
Reynolds said, "I have some things written, but I don't think I'll make Deadpool the central focus of the story again. He will be a supporting character, and he is a great character within a group."
Deadpool as a Supporting Character in the Marvel Universe
Reynolds' statements come after the success of the film Deadpool and Wolverine in 2024, which grossed $1.3 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film. Meanwhile, the two previous Deadpool films each earned nearly $780 million.
Despite speculation about Deadpool appearing in a secret role in the film Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for release in December, Reynolds denied these rumors, noting that the character should remain outside hero teams like the Avengers or X-Men, as joining them would mean the end of his journey.
Why No New Standalone Film?
Reynolds explained that focusing a film on Deadpool requires placing the character in difficult situations, which he does not want to repeat again in a fourth standalone film. He emphasized that this does not mean abandoning fun, but rather that there is a strong and satisfying dramatic arc planned for the character in the future.
It is worth noting that Reynolds has extensive experience portraying Deadpool, a character known for his wit and sarcastic spirit, which has helped redefine superhero films within the R rating.
