Ryan Reynolds Says New Deadpool Film Is in Early Development

Marvel’s blockbuster 2024 box‑office for Deadpool & Wolverine makes another Wade Wilson project commercially likely.

Overview

  • Reynolds told a Fanatics Fest panel in New York Wednesday that a fourth Deadpool movie is “eventually” coming and that he will return as Wade Wilson.
  • Trade reporting describes the project as very early in development with no writer or director attached and Marvel Studios has issued no public comment.
  • The announcement reopens a creative question Reynolds has raised before about whether Deadpool should headline his own film or play a supporting, scene‑stealing role in larger MCU team movies.
  • Deadpool & Wolverine earned roughly $1.338 billion worldwide in 2024, making it the highest‑grossing R‑rated film and the main commercial driver behind plans to keep the character on screen.
  • Watch for where Marvel places Wade Wilson next since the studio has several untitled release dates and large ensemble films such as Avengers: Doomsday could offer either a solo sequel slot or a supporting appearance.
