Ryan Reynolds Explains Deadpool's Solo Stance

Ryan Reynolds has cast doubt on the possibility of Deadpool joining the Avengers or the X-Men, suggesting that such a move would signal the end of the character's unique journey. In a recent interview with Time, Reynolds stated, "If Deadpool becomes an Avenger or an X-Man, we're at the end. That's wish fulfillment, and you can't give him that."

This statement comes in the wake of the massive success of "Deadpool & Wolverine," where Deadpool's obsession with joining the Avengers was a central theme. Speculation had been rife that Marvel Studios might want to integrate Deadpool into the Avengers lineup for the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday." However, Reynolds was not included in the cast reveal for "Avengers: Doomsday," which instead featured a significant presence of veteran X-Men actors such as Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden. This has led to speculation that "Avengers: Doomsday" might be setting up an "Avengers vs. X-Men" storyline.

Despite not joining the Avengers or X-Men, Reynolds hinted at a potential surprise appearance in a supporting role, citing the positive reception of Wesley Snipes' cameo as Blade in "Deadpool & Wolverine." This suggests that while a formal team-up might not be in Deadpool's future, cameo appearances could still be on the cards.

As for what's next for Deadpool, Reynolds is currently writing something new that involves an "ensemble," though he remained tight-lipped about the details. This could indicate another Deadpool movie that focuses heavily on cameos, similar to "Deadpool & Wolverine." Potential characters for cameos include Snipes' Blade, Channing Tatum's Gambit, Jennifer Garner's Elektra, and Dafne Keen's Laura Kinney/X-23.

Regarding "Avengers: Doomsday," details remain sparse beyond the cast list. Anthony Mackie, who will reprise his role as Sam Wilson/Captain America, expressed optimism about the film, stating it would "give the audience that old Marvel feeling that they always had." Other cast members, including Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) and Joseph Quinn (Human Torch), have also shared their excitement about the project. Additionally, a set photo leak sparked further speculation among fans, with some believing it might spell trouble for the X-Men.

There's also buzz about Oscar Isaac potentially appearing as Moon Knight in "Avengers: Doomsday," fueled by his recent withdrawal from Star Wars Celebration due to scheduling conflicts. Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige confirmed that the Avengers livestream did not reveal the entire cast, leaving room for more surprises.
