It was no secret that Deadpool and Wolverine was a huge hit. After several misfires on Marvel’s side, they finally got to a billion again after the latest superhero team-up movie involving Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
It’s said that the two are expected to rest on their laurels for a while after the success of the movie, but it looks like Marvel is already excited to keep the Logan/Wade train going.
According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH (via @Marvel_Updates_) a fourth Deadpool movie is already being discussed, and Reynolds and Jackman were said to have expressed interest in returning. In a previous report from June, it was also said that Deadpool 4 was going to release after the end of the Multiversal Saga (probably after Avengers: Secret Wars), and Deadpool becomes a ‘staple character’ in the MCU alongside the mutants and the Fantastic Four.
We don’t know how much to trust this news yet since MTTSH has had some misfires in the past, but after the insane success of Deadpool and Wolverine, it’s no surprise that Marvel Studios is already looking ahead and wanting to work fast before Jackman decides that he’s too old to keep playing Wolverine again.
Personally, I’ve always been in the camp that believes that the MCU should just bring in a new Wolverine, but if Jackman is going to hang around for a while, they might as well make the best of it while they can. As for Reynolds, I imagine DP is a pretty easy role for him. After all, a lot of the action can just be done by a stunt double in a mask, and Reynolds can just dub his voice over and show his heavily made-up face once in a while—kind of like Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian.
No official update has been made for the next Deadpool movie, but hopefully Marvel doesn’t rely too much on nostalgia with the next one.
