Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that another Deadpool film is in the works, following the success of the franchise's latest installment, Deadpool & Wolverine. The actor, who plays the iconic character, revealed the news at Fanatics Fest, teasing that there are 'some really deep cuts' from the character's history that haven't appeared in any of the previous films and could make for exciting additions to the sequel. Reynolds also hinted that the new film may explore the character's backstory and relationships with other Marvel characters.
Having grossed roughly $3 billion worldwide, the Deadpool franchise remains one of Marvel's biggest box office success stories a decade after it began. The first film premiered in February 2016 to widespread critical and commercial acclaim, grossing $782.6 million against a modest $58 million budget while breaking several box office records.
Deadpool 2 followed in May 2018, earning even more with $786 million worldwide on a $110 million budget. Then came 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine, which became the franchise's biggest financial success, grossing nearly $1.4 billion globally to become the highest-grossing R-rated film ever. Following the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds admitted he wasn't sure when or if he would return as the iconic scarred antihero.
Moreover, in the years that followed, updates on a potential Deadpool 4 were scarce. Reynolds had also previously suggested that he envisioned Deadpool appearing as a supporting character alongside The Avengers or the X-Men, rather than leading another entry or officially joining either team. Now, however, fans finally have an answer about the franchise's future. Speaking at Fanatics Fest, Reynolds confirmed that another Deadpool film is in the works.
During the discussion, the actor teased that there are"some really deep cuts" from the character's history that haven't appeared in any of the previous films and could make for exciting additions to the sequel. Story details remain under wraps, which isn't surprising given that Reynolds only recently confirmed the project. Watch Reynolds share the update in the player below.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10SECRET IDENTITY 04 How do you feel about keeping a secret identity? The mask — or the lack of one — says everything. AEssential — my loved ones would be in danger if anyone found out who I am. BCritical — the mask protects my mission as much as my face.

CPractically — I do what's necessary to protect people, including hard calls. DI crossed that line long ago. What I do is justice — the system just won't admit it. EIn battle, victory is justice.
