No other actor can ever portray Deadpool like Ryan Reynolds does. A mercenary with a brutal no-filtered mouth and a penchant for breaking the fourth wall, Reynolds is, in fact, the perfect actor for the role. Even in real life, the actor is known for his unapologetic irreverent humor, making his portrayal of this beloved antihero synonymous with his own career.
As fans gear up for Deadpool 3 aka the upcoming slated-to-be-a-blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, fans have been hoping that they will get to see more of the actor in another Deadpool movie. However, despite the acclaim and success, Reynolds, in a candid revelation revealed that Deadpool 4 is not on the cards, at least for now.
Ryan Reynolds’ Devastating Update for Potential Deadpool 4
Ryan Reynolds has often spoken about the struggle it took to make his first Deadpool movie a reality. While it was tough for the actor, he has since then become the very face of the antihero, delivering a portrayal that not only resonates with the audience but is also pretty accurate to the character’s comic book origins.
Now set to join the MCU alongside in the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds’ portrayal of Deadpool has reached iconic status, comparable to Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America. Much like these legendary portrayals, it’s unimaginable to picture anyone else stepping into the red suit.
Yet, when it comes to making another Deadpool movie, Reynolds is apprehensive and jokingly stated that another such flick would take a toll on his family life. During his recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Reynolds was asked about the possibility of Deadpool 4, and he promptly stated,
Oh, God, no. My wife and children will divorce me.
Apart from starring as the lead, Deadpool, Reynolds is famous for taking the duties of a producer as well as a writer for his Deadpool flicks. Having worn multiple hats on the set of his superhero film, Reynolds is right in saying that jumping straight into another project would disrupt both his personal and professional life.
Ryan Reynolds Reveals the Name of His Fourth Child
While the first three are girls, named James, Inez, and Betty, the couple welcomed their fourth child in February 2023. However, they have not revealed the gender or the name of the child till now. But recently on the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine, the actor finally revealed the name of his fourth child (via ABC News).
I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here. Her outfit is amazing — spoiler alert! I want to thank my kids — James, Inez, Betty, Olin — who are here.
Although the gender of the child is yet to be revealed, fans are happy to hear the small update. While fans adore Reynolds as Deadpool, his off-screen role as a devoted husband and father adds an extra layer of admiration for the actor.
While Deadpool 4 happening anytime soon is a far-fetched dream, we do hope to see more of Deadpool in the MCU.
Deadpool & Wolverine will be in theatres on July 26, 2024.
