Ryan Reynolds may have held meetings with Kevin Feige over Deadpool’s future as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he more than likely isn’t under contract with the studio just yet. He may have been the main creative driving force behind the Fox franchise as leading man, producer and co-writer, but everyone knows that Feige calls the shots when it comes to his shared universe.
Typically, actors aren’t signed on until after work begins on the script, and with the Molyneux sisters only hired to begin drafting Deadpool 3 a couple of months ago, not to mention Reynolds being incredibly busy with a jam-packed upcoming slate of his own, it looks as though the Merc with a Mouth’s return could be a good few years away yet.
The 44 year-old Reynolds is already older at this stage than Robert Downey Jr. was the first time he suited up as Iron Man, and based on the fact Deadpool 3 has been in development for thirteen months and the writing process only started in November, the star will be creeping up on 50 by the time Wade Wilson’s next irreverent, fourth wall-breaking adventure hits the big screen.
Insider Daniel Richtman claimed several months ago that Marvel wanted to sign the actor to the biggest deal in their history, although he didn’t specify at the time whether it was in terms of financial compensation or onscreen appearances. The tipster has now reported that the gin magnate and soccer team owner has put pen to paper, although there’s been no word from either party about such a seismic development having taken place.
Richtman’s original intel has yet to be corroborated by any other major outlets or sources, so we’re best waiting to hear an official statement from either Ryan Reynolds or Marvel before accepting it as fact.
