In the aftermath of
Deadpool & Wolverine,
Ryan Reynolds remained firm that he did not see another solo
Deadpool movie in his future. That was despite the film grossing $1.338 billion, a number that validated the extraordinary amount of creative control he wields over the franchise, and which proved he was the most valuable new player in the Marvel Studios arsenal.
Now, nine months after
Deadpool & Wolverine became the
top-grossing R-rated movie of all time, Reynolds is quietly plotting his return to the character, but true to his word, it won’t be as the lead of a solo movie.
