Ryan Reynolds has commented on the possibility of Deadpool’s return in the next *Avengers* movie.
Reynolds recently reprised his role as the wisecracking antihero in Marvel’s blockbuster *Deadpool & Wolverine*, which has grossed over $1 billion globally since its July release.
In a recent interview with *Variety*, Reynolds was asked if Deadpool might next appear in the MCU’s *Avengers: Doomsday*, currently slated for a May 1, 2026, release.

However, the actor neither confirmed nor denied whether this could be a possibility.
"I’m not even being cagey," he said, laughing: "We’ll see what happens there."
Reynolds previously opened up about his future as Wade Wilson in August, saying that he and director Shawn Levy didn't make Deadpool & Wolverine with a follow-up movie in mind.
"It wasn’t meant to be a commercial for another movie. It wasn’t meant to be any of that stuff. And, I think I get a great deal of joy making a movie like that," he explained.
"But honestly, right in this moment, I have no idea if I’ll ever wear that Deadpool suit again — I hope I do — but I don’t know. Right now’s the time to just kind of hang it up for a bit and see what happens next."

However, he did recently confirm that he's planning to reunite with Hugh Jackman and Levy for a new, non-Marvel movie he's currently writing.
"I’m spending the year writing," he told Variety. "I’m writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel."
Meanwhile, Avengers: Doomsday will see the return of Robert Downey Jr, who has been cast as Victor Von Doom, aka Doctor Doom. The news was revealed during Marvel's Comic-Con 2024 panel by Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, who also announced that the casts of The Fantastic Four, Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* would appear in the film.
Avengers: Doomsday will be released in cinemas on May 1, 2026.
