Ryan Reynolds Confirms New ‘Deadpool’ Movie Is in the Works

Ryan Reynolds said the next film will draw on comic-book material and could expand the franchise after Deadpool & Wolverine earned more than $1.3 billion worldwide.

  • Actor Ryan Reynolds confirmed at Fanatics Fest 2026 that another 'Deadpool' movie is officially in development, giving fans fresh hope for the Merc with a Mouth's return to the big screen.
  • The confirmation follows the colossal success of 2024's 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' which reunited Reynolds with co-star Hugh Jackman and earned more than $1.3 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history.
  • Reynolds noted he is drawing from obscure comic storylines, specifically praising writers Fabian Nicieza and Gerry Duggan, while emphasizing a standard solo sequel could feel "redundant."
  • Marvel Studios has not attached a writer or director to the project, leaving its scope unclear; industry reports from last year suggested Reynolds was exploring X-Men storylines, though their inclusion remains unconfirmed.
  • With the 'Avengers: Doomsday' trailer released, fans speculate whether Wade Wilson might appear in upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe tentpoles, though the studio has yet to announce a release window or story details.
