In a Puck report detailing where things stand with Reynolds and wife Blake Lively’s careers amidst their ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, it’s said that Reynolds is “wisely focused on the next Deadpool movie, which will give him a chance to be seen as the public loves him most.” No other details, such as the project’s premise or a potential production timeline, were shared.
When Could We See The Next Deadpool Movie?
Rumors persist that Reynolds will reprise the Merc with a Mouth in Avengers: Doomsday, though that has not been officially confirmed. Considering how much Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are leaning into nostalgia by honoring all corners of Marvel movie history, appearances from Reynolds and Jackman would make a lot of sense, but it remains to be seen if that will come to pass. As fans wait to see if Deadpool will fight alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes against Doctor Doom, it’s encouraging to hear the character’s next solo outing remains a focus for Reynolds.
Last year, Reynolds shared that he was writing something for Deadpool, but was mum on details. Reports indicated that it could be some kind of team-up movie featuring Deadpool and various members of the X-Men. As speculation about Doomsday continues to swirl, Reynolds has maintained that he wants to keep Deadpool’s status as an outsider intact. He feels the character will lose some of what makes him special if he ever becomes an official member of the X-Men or Avengers. Based on his comments, it’s safe to say whatever he has in mind is more of an ensemble piece akin to the first two Deadpool movies, which saw Deadpool play off other mutants.
