'He Is a Supporting Character': Ryan Reynolds Hints at Different Deadpool Direction

Reynolds said he has written ideas privately and sees Deadpool as a supporting character in a group, not a solo lead.

  • Ryan Reynolds suggested the next film featuring Deadpool will be an ensemble, stating, "I don't think I'm ever going to center him again," as he believes the character functions best as a supporting player in a group.
  • Following the 2024 success of Deadpool & Wolverine, which earned more than $1.3 billion at the box office, Reynolds expressed hesitation about centering the character again, describing it as "the end of his journey."
  • The Hollywood Reporter claims multiple X-Men could join a future project, with the X-Force serving as a potential home, though the team previously struggled when all but three members perished during their initial mission.
  • Marvel recently confirmed that Avengers: Secret Wars would act as a "reset" for the MCU, though no concrete plans exist for Deadpool's involvement, and Reynolds will not appear in this year's Avengers: Doomsday.
  • Reynolds has only worked on these ideas privately without a formal pitch to Marvel, and there is no suggestion he will join the upcoming X-Men reboot, which reportedly aims to feature an all-new, youth-oriented cast.
