Ryan Reynolds’ Future in MCU Gets a Major Update, Amidst ‘Fantastic Four’ Hype

Published 07/20/2025, 11:49 PM EDT

Marvel’s multiverse is a sprawling buffet of superheroes, timelines, and reality-warping stakes, yet somehow Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool still manages to steal the dessert tray. With Marvel’s machine forever churning out cosmic showdowns and crossover chaos, fans are now asking a spicier question: What about their favorite fourth-wall-breaking mercenary? If whispers are to be believed, the red-suited chaos agent is not leaving the cinematic party anytime soon.

While fans marvel at galaxies colliding on screen, Marvel might be busy securing its crown jewel of chaos behind the scenes.

Ryan Reynolds is not hanging up his katanas yet. During a Fantastic Four: First Steps press roundtable, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige casually dropped a Phase 6-sized bomb: Ongoing talks are underway to keep Reynolds in the MCU beyond Deadpool & Wolverine. As the multiverse keeps spinning out new timelines and surprises, it is clear Marvel is not ready to lose its snarkiest, fourth-wall-breaking chaos agent anytime soon.

The timing could make even Loki raise an eyebrow. As Marvel’s multiverse folds in on itself like an origami fever dream, Deadpool’s encore feels less like planning and more like fate with snarky subtitles. Kevin Feige’s “We’re in touch with Ryan a lot. So the answer is yes” is basically Marvel’s heart-eyes emoji. Clearly, Deadpool’s irreverence is not just surviving in the MCU; it is thriving and setting the tone for pure multiversal mayhem.

While Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool is thriving in Marvel’s chaos, Hugh Jackman might be quietly perfecting his own multiversal comeback, with a smirk, a joke, and maybe a secret contract.

Ryan Reynolds’ bromance with Hugh Jackman might just rule Marvel’s next phase

Hugh Jackman, meanwhile, is embracing the Marvel coy playbook. When asked about Avengers: Doomsday during an appearance on The View, he joked about “dominating and destroying every other character” but stopped short of confirming anything. Fans, now fluent in Marvel’s cryptic PR language, are reading this as: he signed something. Considering Ryan Reynolds and Jackman’s lethal buddy comedy in Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel would be foolish not to double down on their on-screen bromance.

With Avengers: Doomsday poised as Marvel’s next Avengers: Endgame-level event (mark your calendars: December 18, 2026) and Fantastic Four: First Steps landing July 25, 2025, Phase 6 is shaping up as Marvel’s most ambitious crossover buffet. As changes keep happening in the MCU, it is hard to imagine Deadpool and Wolverine not crashing the party with chimichangas in hand. For now, Ryan Reynolds fans can unclench. Marvel is not done with its meta assassin just yet.
