Ryan Reynolds, the charismatic actor behind the anti-hero Deadpool, has shocked the Marvel fandom with his recent comments about the character’s future. With the huge success that ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ had, Ryan’s comments were extremely surprising.
Moreover, his comments have ignited speculation about the future of Deadpool within the MCU. While the character’s popularity is undeniable, the actor’s uncertainty about reprising the role has left fans questioning what lies ahead.
Ryan Reynolds Isn’t Sure About Deadpool’s Future
In a candid interview with Collider, Reynolds expressed uncertainty about ever donning the iconic red suit again. Additionally, the actor, known for his witty and often self-deprecating humor, seemed genuinely unsure about the character’s trajectory.
“I would say that Shawn and I have been pretty clear,” he stated, referring to director Shawn Levy, “in the most loving way because talk about the greatest uptown problem any human beings could have is a studio like that saying, ‘What’s next?’ Or ‘How can we make something else?’“
Reynolds emphasized that ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ was conceived as a standalone film, not a springboard for future installments. “It wasn’t meant to be a commercial for another movie,” he clarified. While acknowledging the immense joy he derived from playing the character, Reynolds admitted, “Honestly, right in this moment, I have no idea if I’ll ever wear that Deadpool suit again.” Moreover, the actor’s words have left fans speculating about the future of the character.

Disney And Marvel Embraced The Deadpool Madness
Contrary to expectations, Disney and Marvel Studios were fully supportive of the R-rated mayhem in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’. The film marked a bold departure from the typically family-friendly Marvel brand. So, many speculated that the studios would impose strict creative limitations.
However, director Shawn Levy has dispelled these rumors, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the process. Both Disney and Marvel, he said, were incredibly supportive of the film’s unique tone and content, granting the creative team the freedom to tell their story without interference.
Just like Reynolds, he explained that Deadpool wasn’t made to cater to any other Avengers film. “Disney or Marvel ever asked us to serve anything beyond one really satisfying self-contained story,” Levy stated. He further claimed that ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ was just that.
