Ryan Reynolds‘ idea for Deadpool 4 is a smart move.

Reynolds has played Marvel superhero Wade Wilson ever since the first Deadpool movie, which was released in 2016. Following the release of 2018’s Deadpool 2, Wade then officially joined the MCU in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine, which co-starred Hugh Jackman. There are conflicting reports regarding whether Reynolds is in either of the upcoming Avengers movies, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

What did Ryan Reynolds say about Deadpool 4?

There’s been much talk about a potential Deadpool 4 movie. Marvel Studios has not given the project a release date at this time; however, Reynolds has been open about wanting to continue playing this character.

Speaking at a live taping of Sunday Sitdown Live, Reynolds said that he has “some stuff kind of written” for Deadpool 4.

He continued, “I don’t think I am going to center him again. I think he’s a supporting character. He’s a guy that is great in a group.”

Reynolds has said before that, as Wade ventures into the MCU, his role in future movies might change compared to the past. More specifically, Reynolds has talked about wanting a team-up movie that doesn’t necessarily center around Wade; rather, he wants him to be more of a supporting character in whatever adventure he has next.

That decision is a smart one. We’ve had no shortage of the Merc with the Mouth over the past decade, and while those movies are fun, they work best when Wade has other prominent characters to bounce off of. The decision to go back to a Deadpool solo movie after he just teamed up with Wolverine would almost guarantee that Reynolds’ shtick would run thin; using him as a supporting character, instead, gives us a healthy dose of MCU Wade without overdoing it.

Reynolds could also use a good PR win following all the controversy surrounding the Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and It Ends With Us situation. Putting him front and center of Deadpool 4 would just have people complaining that he’s all up in our faces, while, on the contrary, using Deadpool in a supporting capacity can kind of allow Reynolds to ease back into audiences’ good graces.
