Ryan Reynolds Reportedly Wants Wolverine, Cable, and Storm for DEADPOOL 4
There’s a new rumor making the rounds that hints at where Deadpool 4 could go, and if it turns out to be true, it sounds like a seriously fun mutant mash-up.
While Marvel Studios hasn’t officially announced the next chapter yet, Ryan Reynolds already has a direction in mind for the Merc with a Mouth. He’s been working on it, and it might include some heavy hitters from the X-Men corner of the universe.
According to industry insider Daniel RPK, Reynolds is interested in bringing together Wolverine, Cable, and Storm for the next film. That’s a pretty fun lineup, especially considering Deadpool already has history with two of them.
Fans have seen him clash and team up with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine before, and Josh Brolin’s Cable played a big role in Deadpool 2. Storm, on the other hand, would be a fresh dynamic on screen with Deadpool, and that would open the door for some great character interactions. I would also love to see Halle Berry back in the role!
Of course, it’s important to keep expectations in check. This is still just a rumor and nothing official has been confirmed by Marvel. With the future of Deadpool in the MCU still taking shape, there’s no clear timeline for when or where he’ll pop up next.
What makes this rumor even more interesting is how it lines up with Reynolds’ previous comments about the character. He talked about how he sees Deadpool evolving moving forward, saying: “I don’t think I’m going to ever center him again. I think he’s a supporting character. He’s a guy that is great in a group.”
That being said, I like the idea of throwing Deadpool into a team-up situation alongside characters like Wolverine, Cable, and Storm. Instead of carrying the story solo, he’d bounce off bigger personalities, which is where the character usually shines.
Reynolds has also been pretty open about how he views Deadpool’s place in the larger superhero world. He talked about the possibility of crossing paths with the Avengers or X-Men, but made it clear that Deadpool works best on the outside looking in.
“His ultimate dream is to be accepted and appreciated. But he can’t be accepted,” Reynolds explained. “His coping mechanism of deflecting shame through humor works only when used to pave over his many inadequacies. If and when he does become an Avenger or X-Man, we’re at the end of his journey.”
That idea of Deadpool as the perpetual outsider is a big part of why the character works. Dropping him into a team setting without fully letting him belong keeps that tension alive while still delivering the fun of seeing him interact with other heroes.
Reynolds has also said that pairing Deadpool with Wolverine again is something he’s still excited about, even if he’s cautious about repeating himself. He acknowledged that another solo outing might feel “little iterative and redundant,” but he also reassured fans that doesn’t mean dialing things back. “There is still an arc for Deadpool which is fulfilling and powerful.”
At this point, nothing is locked in, but the idea of Deadpool sharing the screen with Wolverine, Cable, and Storm is the kind of chaotic energy fans would probably love.
