Ryan Reynolds says there will eventually be another Deadpool
Ryan Reynolds says there will eventually be another Deadpool movie, teasing comic deep cuts that have yet to hit the screen. Speaking at Fanatics Fest, the star pointed to beloved material from writers Fabian Nicieza and Gerry Duggan as possible fuel for a future film after Deadpool & Wolverine.
Key Takeaways
- Reynolds confirmed at Fanatics Fest that another Deadpool movie will happen "eventually."
- He wants to pull in "really deep cuts" from the comics that the films have not used yet.
- He specifically cited work by Deadpool co-creator Fabian Nicieza and writer Gerry Duggan.
- In April, he told Sunday Today he has material written but may not center Deadpool again.
- Marvel did not immediately respond to Variety's request for comment.
Will there be another Deadpool movie?
Yes — according to Reynolds, the door is open. At a Fanatics Fest panel over the weekend, the actor told moderator Nature Luvz You that there is "eventually, you know, remotely another 'Deadpool' film."
The remark lands after the massive success of 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine, keeping fan interest high across Streaming & TV Alerts and the wider Marvel conversation.
As Variety reported, Marvel did not immediately respond when asked for comment.
What deep cuts could a new film explore?
Reynolds framed a sequel less as a repeat of past hits and more as a chance to dig into unused comic material. "There's a few really deep cuts that I think are missing from the movies," he said. "I think there's a few deep cuts missing from some of the comics."
He highlighted stories he loves from Nicieza and from Duggan, calling both "incredible" and noting they are writers whose work "we can put in." He also nodded to "stuff upcoming," without naming plots, titles, or a release window.
Will Deadpool lead the next film or support?
That remains murky. Speaking to Sunday Today in April, Reynolds said he has "some stuff kind of written" for Deadpool's return, but added he does not think he will "ever" center the character again. "He is a supporting character. He is a guy who is great in a group," he said.
He has also downplayed rumors of a big comeback in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. In a 2024 Hollywood Reporter interview, Reynolds said he would love Deadpool to cross paths with the Avengers or X-Men — but not join either team.
"If he becomes either, we're at the end," Reynolds argued, stressing that Deadpool works best as an outsider whose humor papers over shame and inadequacy. Acceptance, in his view, would close the character's journey.
For now, the takeaway for fans is simple: Reynolds sees more Deadpool on the horizon, built around deeper comic cuts, even if the Merc may share — rather than steal — the spotlight next time.
