Is Deadpool 4 occurring? Contemplating how Deadpool & Wolverine earned quite a lot of optimistic essential reception and grossed over $1.3 billion final yr, one would assume Marvel Studios would greenlight one other film right away. Nevertheless, it seems that the Merc with the Mouth may go in a unique route subsequent, because it’s been rumored that Ryan Reynolds is “exploring concepts” for an upcoming Marvel film that might staff his character with a few of the X-Males. This sounds an terrible lot like an X-Pressure film, and now there’s phrase concerning the new and fan-favorite characters which may seem alongside Wade Wilson.
Take this data with a grain of salt for now, however I hope that is correct given such a formidable lineup. In line with scooper @MyTimeToShineHello (by way of ComicBookMovie), Deadpool would get to re-team with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Josh Brolin’s Cable on this proposed venture. Moreover, the quartet can be rounded out by the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Storm. That means, this could be a brand new model of the weather-manipulating mutant relatively than both Halley Berry or Alexandra Shipp reprising the function.
Whereas Storm doesn’t have any direct ties to X-Pressure within the comics, I undoubtedly like the concept of together with her on this hypothetical film. Whereas Ororo Munroe definitely didn’t lack for consideration in the course of the Fox period of X-Males motion pictures, I didn’t assume Berry or Shipp’s depictions did her full justice. Hopefully this received’t be the case with the MCU model, and never solely am I already amused at her envisioning her getting exhausted at Deadpool’s shenanigans, her inclusion on this X-Pressure-like story may assist arrange the long-awaited X-Males reboot film.
After which, after all, we have already got expertise watching Deadpool annoy the hell out of Cable and Wolverine in a cinematic setting, so any probability to see extra of that is welcome. These two have each served on X-Pressure, identical to Deadpool, so if this film is certainly taking inspiration from that gritty staff of superheroes, having three of the 4 characters be canon members is a reasonably good ratio. Wolverine and Cable have additionally butted heads occasionally within the comics and different media, so I’d welcome seeing Hugh Jackman and Josh Brolin’s variations do this too.
Whether or not or not this venture ever involves fruition is one other matter. Even when it does get the go-ahead from Marvel Studios, Ryan Reynolds is at the moment writing the Paramount comedy film Boy Band, which can reunite him with Jackman and Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, and even as soon as that’s carried out, he intends to spend the remainder of 2025 writing different initiatives. So it might be years till it finally ends up projecting on the large display.
The excellent news, nevertheless, is that extra X-Males appearances within the MCU have been lined up within the meantime. Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, Ian McKellen’s Magneto, Rebecca Romijn’s Mystique, Kelsey Grammer’s Beast, Alan Cumming’s Nightcrawler, James Marsden’s Cyclops and Channing Tatum’s Gambit are all set to return in Avengers: Doomsday, which can now be launched on December 18, 2026.
