Ryan Reynolds Confirms Deadpool 4 Is Happening: ‘It’s Going to Be…’

Marvel fans have plenty of reasons to celebrate this week. Right on the heels of the explosive debut of the Avengers: Doomsday trailer, Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that a fourth Deadpool movie is officially on the horizon. While speaking at Fanatics Fest 2026, Reynolds highlighted the massive treasure trove of unadapted Deadpool comics, emphasizing that numerous fan-favorite storylines have yet to be brought to life. He also gave a nod to Deadpool co-creator Fabian Nicieza and iconic comic writer Gerry Duggan, hinting that the team still has a deep well of inspiration to draw from.

In a video shared on X, Reynolds added, “There’s stuff upcoming. There’s eventually, you know, another Deadpool film. It’s going to be great.”

The update comes a year after Ryan Reynolds told The Hollywood Reporter that he is developing ideas for the franchise’s next chapter. The project was reportedly being conceived as an ensemble film featuring X-Men characters alongside the Merc with a Mouth.

Deadpool has been one of the biggest franchises in Hollywood in the last two decades. The last release, Deadpool & Wolverine, was a blockbuster hit, shattering numerous records. It will be interesting to see what Marvel Studios and Ryan Reynolds have in store this time around!
