Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that there will indeed be another Deadpool movie. The actor has spent close to a decade shaping Wade Wilson into one of the most recognizable characters in modern cinema, and this latest update only adds to that legacy. Something about the way he spoke made it clear this was not just casual chatter. What followed only added more weight to a statement that instantly demanded attention.

While the confirmation itself put months of guessing to rest, the details behind it hinted at something even bigger waiting to unfold.

Ryan Reynolds confirmed that another Deadpool film is officially in motion, putting months of speculation to rest. He did not shy away from teasing the creative direction either, pointing toward material long overlooked by previous installments. The actor emphasized that the franchise still has untapped territory worth exploring on screen.

"There's a few really deep cuts I think are missing from the movies," said Reynolds during Fanatics Fest 2026.

He then added, "I think there's a few deep cuts from some of the comics…there's stuff upcoming. There eventually will be another Deadpool," emphasizing that comic book source material remains largely untouched by the film series so far.

Reynolds stayed vague at Fanatics Fest 2026, an event Hobby Nonsense captured on Instagram, never confirming if this counts as Deadpool 4 or a sneaky Marvel offshoot. Earlier reports from May 2025 teased three or four X-Men characters joining the ride, echoing the shelved X-Force project once developed at 20th Century Fox. Deadpool & Wolverine still reign as the franchise's biggest earners, crossing $1.3 billion worldwide, with Reynolds next headed to Mayday on Apple TV this September.

While Fanatics Fest 2026 answered the biggest lingering question about the franchise, an earlier interview reveals why Ryan Reynolds wants the sequel to look nothing like the films before it.

Ryan Reynolds addressed this shift earlier this year during an appearance on Sunday Sitdown Live with Willie Geist, explaining his reluctance to headline the story alone again. He described Wade Wilson as a character who thrives in group dynamics rather than as a lone protagonist carrying the narrative. This approach marks a deliberate departure from the two solo-driven films that built the franchise's identity. Reynolds framed the decision as an attempt to keep the character feeling unpredictable rather than repetitive.

This ensemble-first mindset lines up with earlier reports suggesting mutant characters will share screen time with Wade Wilson going forward. Reynolds also shared a lighter anecdote from the Deadpool & Wolverine set, revealing he kept the Welshpool costume worn by Wrexham AFC striker Paul Mullin as a personal keepsake. He joked about the swipe on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, clarifying Disney had no issue with the costume later being displayed at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground. The gesture proved his affection for Deadpool remains intact, even while stepping back from center stage.
