A new Deadpool film is in early development at Marvel Studios, with Ryan Reynolds confirmed to return as the titular character.

Reynolds announced the project during Fanatics Fest 2026, where he expressed excitement about potential storylines.

“There’s a few really deep cuts that I think are missing behind the movies. I think there’s a few deep cuts missing from some of the comics. There’s certainly some stuff that, you know, I love that Fabian Nicieza [co-creator of Deadpool] wrote that is incredible. Gerry Duggan, who was a friend, was an incredible comic writer,” Reynolds said onstage during a panel at the New York event. “There’s stuff upcoming. There’s eventually, you know, remotely another Deadpool film. It’s going to be great.”

Currently, there is no attached writer or director for the upcoming film, indicating that it is still in its preliminary stages.

Marvel Studios has not commented further on the project or its timeline.
