Deadpool’s MCU Future Gets Exciting Update Amidst Avengers: Doomsday Rumors

Following the success of two standalone Deadpool movies, the character officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2024 with Deadpool & Wolverine. The film, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, quickly became a major hit for Marvel, earning over $1 billion worldwide and receiving positive reviews. Despite its success, Marvel hasn’t announced when Deadpool and Wolverine will return, though studio head Kevin Feige has indicated that Reynolds is keen to continue playing Deadpool and that they are exploring future options.

According to a recent report from Puck, Ryan Reynolds is prioritizing the next Deadpool movie while dealing with his legal issues with Justin Baldoni. The report suggests this is a smart move, allowing him to capitalize on the role fans love most. No information about the movie’s story or when it might be made was released.

When Could We See The Next Deadpool Movie?

I’m really hoping we see Ryan Reynolds back as Deadpool in Avengers: Doomsday! It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but with how much that movie and Secret Wars are bringing back classic Marvel moments, it would just make sense. Seeing Deadpool team up with the Avengers would be incredible. Even if it doesn’t happen right away, it’s great to hear Ryan is still focused on making more solo Deadpool movies too – that’s awesome news!

Ryan Reynolds revealed last year he was working on a Deadpool project, but kept the specifics secret. Rumors suggested it might involve a team-up with the X-Men. While talk about a potential Doomsday scenario continues, Reynolds has emphasized he wants to preserve Deadpool’s independent spirit. He believes integrating Deadpool into established teams like the X-Men or Avengers would diminish what makes the character unique. Judging by what he’s said, the project seems likely to be another ensemble film similar to the first two Deadpool movies, where Deadpool interacted with various mutants.

The new Deadpool movie likely won’t be released until after Avengers: Secret Wars. Marvel is currently prioritizing the culmination of their Multiverse Saga and the end of this phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They have a carefully planned strategy leading up to the Secret Wars premiere next year, and they probably won’t want to interrupt that by releasing a big movie like Deadpool beforehand. It’s expected that fans won’t see another Deadpool film until at least 2028, after Marvel resets its storyline to simplify things.

Marvel seems to be carefully selecting what stays consistent in the new timeline, prioritizing characters and storylines that fans love. Given this approach, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool will probably remain unchanged. Deadpool has always existed somewhat separately within the Marvel universe, and his movies have consistently performed well, so there’s no reason to start over with that character. It’s likely Deadpool 4 will be one of the first films in Marvel’s next phase, Phase 7.
