Deadpool’s MCU Future: Reynolds’s Vision and the Possibility of a Surprising Cameo

by

Ryan Reynolds has expressed his aspirations for Deadpool’s journey within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which might differ from the path some fans envision for the character.

In the year 2024, Deadpool first appeared in a spectacular fashion within the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the release of “Deadpool & Wolverine“. This movie shattered numerous box office records and concluded its cinematic journey by earning more than $1 billion worldwide.

There’s a lot of excitement among Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans about the future projects, with many curious as to when and where Deadpool will make his next appearance. While some are speculating about a possible Deadpool 4 movie, actor Ryan Reynolds has hinted at alternative plans.

Ryan Reynolds Reveals His Deadpool Ideas For the MCU

During a chat with TIME, actor Ryan Reynolds, known for his roles in Deadpool and Wolverine, was questioned about past statements suggesting that Deadpool functions better as a supporting character rather than a lead.

It’s clear that viewers have seen Deadpool as the lead character several times before. However, Reynolds reaffirmed his previous statements and elaborated on why it might be better for Deadpool to play a secondary role instead.

Particularly, Reynolds openly acknowledged his preference for Deadpool as a secondary role. During both filming and scriptwriting for the Deadpool trilogy, he elaborated on his perspective and the central themes that defined each installment in the series.

I agree with your assessment. To make such a character convincing, it’s crucial to strip him bare, both physically and emotionally. He’s scarred, bald, and wears a mask as a symbol of his shame. I essentially reappropriated the character from the first film to narrate tales of shame, family in the second, and redemption in the third. I believe we successfully portrayed redemption because it’s one of America’s most valued exports. It’s akin to yearning for something or someone you didn’t realize was missing, which is a very distinct emotional experience for viewers, and we managed to create a few of those moments in the film.

Just like Reynolds is known for, he proceeded to crack jokes and share various movie concepts he proposed for Deadpool 3.

The entire film served as a symbolic representation of Disney acquiring Fox. Essentially, it felt like I proposed 18 distinct films to them. One idea was stop-motion animation, another was a Sundance-style movie, one was shot entirely in a car, with no action or excitement involved.

Next, Reynolds discussed the possibility of Wesley Snipes reprising his role as Blade in Deadpool & Wolverine, describing the excitement that filled the audience when he appeared on screen. The Deadpool actor expressed a desire to experience this feeling again, stating it’s something he yearns for more of, and believes he could achieve if he were cast in a supporting role in future projects.

The location where we touched down was remarkable, and I was immensely thankful for the opportunity to share a tale that featured Blade, played by Wesley Snipes. Honestly, this man deserves another act in the spotlight right now. He’s a massive film star, my apologies if children were present. In all honesty, I couldn’t help but think they were in the room with me. The way people react when he appears on screen in a movie is something I aspire to replicate as a supporting actor.

Finally, Reynolds confided that he’s currently working on a project related to Deadpool. He was tight-lipped about specifics, but did mention that the character will be in a secluded state.

Reynolds explained that he believes Deadpool’s storyline might have reached its conclusion if Deadpool were to join either the Avengers or the X-Men, as new movies for both teams are approaching and there could be an X-Men reboot.

Currently, I’m penning a piece featuring a group, yet interestingly, each member is independent or solo. If Deadpool were to join either the Avengers or the X-Men, it would mark the conclusion of this narrative. That’s his dream come true, and we can’t grant him that.

Will Deadpool Be in Avengers: Doomsday?

Without a doubt, Deadpool stands out as one of the most beloved characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The fact that an R-rated film grossed over $1 billion worldwide clearly demonstrates the high regard fans have for this unconventional hero.

It’s highly probable that numerous fans would delight in witnessing Deadpool team up with the Avengers to battle Doctor Doom in “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars”. Given the abundance of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) characters yet to cross paths with Deadpool, such encounters would undoubtedly provide a satisfying experience for many spectators.

In the grand reveal by Marvel Studios for the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, Ryan Reynolds’ name wasn’t found casually scribbled on a seat.

However, that announcement did not include every actor in the film, so Deadpool could still appear.

Given his widespread fame and the premise that “Deadpool & Wolverine” had been released before “Doomsday”, it would undoubtedly come as a massive surprise if he did not appear in some form or another.

Despite Ryan Reynolds’ intention to keep Deadpool as a supporting character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for now, there’s a possibility that he might show up in one or both of the upcoming Avengers movies without necessarily being the central figure.

Given that one character from the Deadpool & Wolverine duo has been rumored to appear in Doomsday, it seems logical for Deadpool himself to join the scene as well, doesn’t it?
