Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• The possibility of Deadpool and Wolverine returning for a sequel in the MCU is uncertain.
• The future of these iconic characters in the MCU remains a secret, with hints suggesting a potential final farewell.
• If Reynolds and Jackman were to return, the most likely scenario would be in Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.

The arrival of Deadpool into the official MCU was one of the most anticipated events prior to the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, but now that he is there, the question shifts to if he will return. Deadpool is a beloved character that originated in Marvel Comics back in 1991. Since then, the character has grown from a one-off villain, to a fan favorite anti hero, and that reputation has taken him far beyond the pages of the comics.
In 2009, the character was officially introduced on the big screen as his alter ego, Wade Wilson, played by the brilliant Ryan Reynolds, who had an evolving relationship with the comic book character. This first iteration had some glaring issues, like the character who had grown in popularity due to his wise crack remarks having his mouth sewn shut, but Reynolds got a chance to redeem Deadpool just a few years later. In 2016, Deadpool starred in his own movie set within the Fox X-Men universe, and that's where he remained until Fox was purchased by Disney in 2019.

Will Deadpool & Wolverine Return For A Sequel? Deadpool & Wolverine 2 Close Now, both Deadpool and Wolverine, played by the actors who arguably became the quintessential faces of these heroes, are both starring in an MCU movie. After years of anticipation and outcry from fans, Hugh Jackman and Reynolds embark on an adventure together that brings them into the Sacred Timeline. However, after all that time and effort, it is also possible that their first outing together, is also their last time suiting up.
Deadpool & Wolverine primarily serves as a way to bring the Fox X-Men universe and the MCU together, while serving as a proper introduction for the mutants. But, Reynolds is fast approaching 50, and Jackman is already in his mid-50s. While the heroes may have worked alongside Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, and Chris Evans' Captain America, the MCU is beginning to look to younger stars to lead the way. With that in mind, it may not make sense for Reynolds and Jackman to come back for a sequel.
What's Been Said About Deadpool & Wolverine's MCU Future Hugh Jackman And Ryan Reynolds Have Been Tight-Lipped Close As with anything that comes from Marvel Studios, the answers about future developments are kept under lock and key. When questioned about sequels, or Deadpool and Wolverine's future in the MCU, both the leading men have tactfully disengaged and resisted answering any questions directly. While this may be frustrating for fans who wish to see their story continue, it is to be expected from the vault of secrets that is Marvel Studios.

One potential outcome is that the character's stories come to a neat and satisfying end in Deadpool & Wolverine, as a way to say goodbye and send them off on a high. Alternatively, the movie could have an open-ended finale which leaves the door open. This is highly likely as it gives Marvel Studios the most flexibility. And finally, they could already be preparing to appear in future MCU projects, but specific details will be withheld.
The Most Likely Marvel Return For Deadpool & Wolverine There Is Somewhere They Could Turn Up In The MCU Close Since Marvel Studios likes to plan ahead, creating an interwoven tapestry of connected stories, it's unlikely that either Jackman or Reynolds will have a starring role in any MCU project which releases between now and 2027. But, 2027 is set to conclude the Multiverse Saga with the event film Avengers: Secret Wars. Similar to Avengers: Endgame, this movie is expected to have huge crossovers, with gratuitous cameos from heroes in every corner of the MCU.
If Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were to return to play Wolverine and Deadpool again in the MCU, this would be the most likely place for the characters to appear. On the other hand, considering the scale of the film, and what happened in Endgame, it's also the most likely place for their versions of the characters to die. This could be the best possible outcome for the characters, as it provides another return after Deadpool & Wolverine, but also a way to transition the roles to new variants who will be more suited for the future of the MCU.
Deadpool & Wolverine R Action Sci-FiComedySuperhero A follow-up to the highly successful Deadpool and Deadpool 2 films starring Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with a Mouth. The third film will be the first in the franchise to be developed under the Marvel Studios banner following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
