Will there be a Deadpool 4? Ryan Reynolds has some thoughts

Deadpool 4 may take a minute if we ever get it at all.

The enormous success of Deadpool & Wolverine has almost singlehandedly revived the MCU. The movie’s box office totals suggest that there is hunger for Deadpool at the very least, which has led many to wonder whether the character could be returning anytime soon, now that he’s officially part of the MCU.

While there are hints that Deadpool is joining the MCU throughout Deadpool & Wolverine, and there’s also a suggestion at the end of the movie that the character could have bigger things in his future, it seems like there isn’t going to be a fourth Deadpool movie, at least not in the immediate future.

Ryan Reynolds Talks Potential Taylor Swift Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo and Possibility of Deadpool 4

When the actor behind Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote the movie, Kimmel asked him whether a fourth movie might be coming. In his typical, jocular way, Reynolds suggests that making another Deadpool movie may literally ruin his family.

“Oh God no. My wife and children will divorce me. Jimmy I have no prenup with any of them. I will be capital B ‘Broke’ and, in turn, doing Deadpool 4 because I need money,” he said when asked about doing a fourth movie.

While Reynolds seems unlikely to lead another Deadpool movie, that doesn’t mean he’ll never appear as the character again. In fact, it seems exceptionally likely that he’ll play some role in Avengers: Secret Wars, along with many other Fox characters that are now being integrated into this universe. What’s more, Reynolds could simply be suggesting that he’s stepping away from the character for a good, long while; Deadpool 2 and its sequel were six years apart, and maybe Reynolds will need another gap before he considers playing his most famous character for a fourth time.

The first trailer for ‘M3GAN 2.0’ teases another slasher romp
This sequel is coming three years after the first film hit theaters and became a surprise hit
M3GAN 2.0

The sub-genre of artificial intelligence gone wrong has exploded in recent years for understandable reasons, but few movies have had as much fun with it as M3GAN. That film was a surprise hit back in 2022 and told the story of an AI-powered doll that went to more and more extreme ends to protect her owner.

The first trailer for the sequel debuted at the Grammy Awards last night, and was aptly set to Chappell Roan's song "Femininomenon." The trailer has the same campy energy that made the first one such a success, and also shows glimpses of the returning cast, which includes Allison Williams and Violet McGraw.
