by

Summary

  • Ryan Reynolds believes Deadpool shouldn’t join the Avengers or X-Men to maintain his character’s essence.
  • Reynolds sees Deadpool as a supporting character to let others shine, like bringing back Wesley Snipes’ Blade.
  • While Deadpool fits with X-Men, his chaotic humor might not align with the Avengers’ serious tone.

Ryan Reynolds recently opened up about the potential future of his Marvel Cinematic Universe character, Deadpool. The actor suggested that it wouldn’t be wise for the Merc with a Mouth to have all his desires granted.

Ryan Reynolds has played Deadpool across several movies, with his initial portrayal as Wade Wilson coming in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). However, this film was heavily criticized for deviating from the original source material. He reprised the role in Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018), both of which were produced by 20th Century Fox and were praised for their adherence to the comics. Reynolds’ Deadpool made his official entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the 2024 blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine. Fans have been enthusiastic about Reynolds’ portrayal of Deadpool, with Deadpool 3 earning over $1.3 billion globally due to its mix of humor, action, and self-referential commentary. In a recent interview, Reynolds was questioned about whether Deadpool would appear in any upcoming MCU films.

In the film “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Deadpool yearns to join the Avengers, seeking excitement and camaraderie. Yet, actor Ryan Reynolds doesn’t seem to favor this development for his anti-hero character. During an interview with The Times, Reynolds reiterated a prior statement from the star of “Red Notice,” suggesting that Deadpool performs optimally as a secondary character. Given the numerous upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, such as those featuring the X-Men, the interviewer inquired if Reynolds would reprise his role as a supporting character in any of these forthcoming films. However, he appears reluctant to participate or it could mean the end for Deadpool. Reynolds responded:

Should Deadpool join either the Avengers or the X-Men, it would mark our final chapter. This is a dream of his, a desire fulfilled, something we simply cannot grant.

I had the privilege of serving as a supporting act in some remarkable projects, and one of those was helping Wesley Snipes return to the silver screen after two decades, which fans were thrilled about. You might remember Snipes’ iconic role as the half-human, half-vampire hybrid Blade, first seen in Blade (1998). He reprised this role in Blade II (2002) and Blade: Trinity (2004). The characters Deadpool and Wolverine laid the groundwork for Snipes to resume his role again. This paved the way for Snipes to earn two Guinness World Records with Deadpool 3, bringing back Chris Evans as Human Torch, a character he played before becoming Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Jennifer Garner as Elektra. Moreover, I helped introduce Dafnee Keen as Laura Kinney (X-23) and provided Channing Tatum with his first big screen appearance as Gambit.

In a fascinating turn of events, the iconic X-Men characters are set to make an appearance in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. Some of the mutants confirmed for this exciting collaboration include Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn) and Cyclops (James Marsden). It’s worth noting that Deadpool, who has a rich history with the X-Men in the comics, is also rumored to join this team. His dark wit aligns well with the X-Men’s gritty and mature themes. However, it remains to be seen how Deadpool, known for his unpredictability, will fit into the more strategic and diplomatic missions that the traditional X-Men undertake.

Although Deadpool has some connections with the Avengers, particularly in the Uncanny Avengers, it’s doubtful that he would be a good fit for their team. This is because his humor and actions tend to be chaotic and R-rated, which clashes with the Avengers’ serious demeanor. However, Deadpool is a skilled fighter, making him valuable in battle. Unfortunately, his brutal and irreverent style doesn’t align well with the heroic image of the Avengers. Additionally, the Avengers movies are typically PG-13, while Deadpool prefers the hard R rating. Consequently, it seems unlikely that Deadpool will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, but who knows what the future might hold!

Deadpool movies stream on Disney Plus.
