It always felt like Deadpool would be back the second Deadpool & Wolverine blew the roof off the box office, but Ryan Reynolds has now made it official in his own words. The more interesting part is that he’s not talking like someone who’s gearing up for a straightforward Deadpool 4. If anything, Reynolds sounds like he’s trying to avoid that entirely.
After years of building the character around solo chaos, he now seems to think Wade Wilson works better when he’s bouncing off other people instead of dominating the whole movie. That’s a pretty big shift for one of Marvel’s most stubbornly self-centered antiheroes.
