Ryan Reynolds Addresses Possible Deadpool and Wolverine Return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and SECRET WARS
After Deadpool & Wolverine became such a massive hit for Marvel Studios, fans have been wondering when we might see these characters in action again. Make no mistake, we will see these two characters fight alongside each other again!
I believe that the next time we see these characters will be in Avengers: Doomsday, since we know that a lot of MCU characters will be coming together for that film to battle against Doctor Doom.
When asked during a recent interview if fans could expect to see Deadpool and Wolverine in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, Reynolds played coy and said that he didn’t have any updates.
But, he did voice his opinion on whether Deadpool should ever become an Avenger or a X-Man. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor said:
“There are no updates to share just yet, but I trust Kevin and Lou D’Esposito [a filmmaker and Marvel executive producer] with my life. The character trait I love most about Deadpool is that he’s a fanboy.
“His enthusiasm and longing to be part of a team is really endearing to me. It’s his overarching wish-fulfillment story. But I don’t think he should ever be an Avenger or an X-Man. If he becomes either, we’re at the end.”
Later in the interview, Reynolds corrected the interviewer when asked if that meant Deadpool would not appear in an Avengers movie, saying:
“Just the opposite! I think Deadpool works so well appearing with the X-Men and Avengers, but he always needs to stay an outsider.”
Reynolds went on to talk about Deadpool’s wants and dreams, saying: “His ultimate dream is to be accepted and appreciated. But he can’t be accepted.
“His coping mechanism of deflecting shame through humor works only when used to pave over his many inadequacies.” Reynolds reiterated that Deadpool joining a team would mean “we’re at the end of his journey.”
Even if Reynolds knows that Deadpool and Wolverine are going to appear in the upcoming Avengers movies, he’s not going to say anything! He’s not going to spoil that for everyone. But it would be really cool to see Deadpool and Wolverine fighting alongside a bunch of other MCU characters battling Doctor Doom!
Avengers: Doomsday is slated to premiere in U.S. theaters on May 1, 2026, and Secret Wars on May 7, 2027.
