Kevin Feige Teases Ryan Reynolds’ Future as Deadpool in the MCU

by

Kevin Feige hints at potential appearances of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine within the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, initially restricted by resources, has grown exponentially. Previously, many major characters were owned by other studios due to film rights, preventing Marvel from using icons like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Fantastic Four. However, with most characters now under its control, Marvel can tell a wide array of intriguing stories on the big screen.

In the previous year, the films featuring Deadpool and Wolverine introduced these prominent characters from the X-Men (or those closely associated with them) into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although they still inhabit their separate realms in a sense, there’s now a possibility for them to play more significant roles. Deadpool and Wolverine even hint at a potential future encounter between Deadpool and Thor, implying that the Merc With a Mouth might meet his end in Thor’s arms. Given the grand scale of the upcoming Avengers movies and their epic narrative, it seems plausible that both Deadpool and Wolverine would be part of the cast. Veteran X-Men actors like Patrick Stewart have already been announced, but as of now, neither Ryan Reynolds nor Hugh Jackman have officially confirmed their involvement.

Deadpool and Wolverine’s MCU Futures Are Being Discussed, Confirms Marvel Boss

It appears that Ryan Reynolds may reprise his role as Deadpool in future installments, although details remain uncertain. In a recent interview with ComicBook, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige hinted at continued discussions involving Reynolds’ Deadpool, as well as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.

He intends to continue until he turns 90, you know.

At this moment, it’s uncertain where they will show up next. Marvel is planning its subsequent three phases and storyline following Secret Wars, so there’s a chance they could appear after that, excluding the next two Avengers movies. Ryan Reynolds is rumored to be working on an X-Men team-up film, but it’s not an official X-Men movie. It’s hard to tell what this project might be about. It could be X-Force, or possibly Deadpool 4, but with a larger ensemble cast. However, it hasn’t been confirmed that Reynolds has formally proposed the film to Feige, as he is still brainstorming ideas for the plot.

Regardless of the casting decisions for the upcoming X-Men movie, we can expect more of Ryan Reynolds portraying Deadpool and Hugh Jackman continuing as Wolverine. It’s uncertain whether Marvel will recast Wolverine or not, but given Jackman’s ongoing involvement, it seems likely they’ll keep him in the role, even if he doesn’t physically appear in those films.
