Summary
After directing Ryan Reynolds' firstMarvel Cinematic Universemovie, Shawn looks at the chances ofDeadpool 4happening afterDeadpool & Wolverine. 2024 may only have one MCU movie coming out, but it will definitely be one of the most significant films forthe Multiverse Saga, asDeadpool & Wolverinewill shake up the franchise in more ways than one. WithDeadpool & Wolverinecurrently tracking to be one of the biggest box office hits for Marvel Studios, it is leaving several doors open for Wade Wilson inthe MCU timelineafter his summer installment.
With theDeadpool & Wolverinereleasecoming only a month from now, Levy was recently asked in an interview withDeadlineif he sees a potential sequel for the Merc with a Mouth. WhileMarvel Studios hasn’t announced any plans for aDeadpool 4movie, Levy looked at the prospects from two perspectives. While the world of Deadpool allows them to do anything they want, theDeadpool & Wolverinedirector also stressed the amount of work that went into this film, sharing the following:
Usually, I have to lie. I’m waiting for the questions when I have to lie and pretend I don’t know the answer, but this one I can sincerely say I don’t know. But I can, in the same breath, say, ‘Man, this thing has been the hardest, most all-consuming thing I’ve ever done. But it’s also been the most creatively gratifying.’ Because with Deadpool, there’s no rules. It is, in its very DNA, built on tonal audacity. So, for a filmmaker, what a delight. And to do it with my best friend Ryan, my other buddy Hugh, the three of us who have known each other now for a very long time, it was just a blast. Because if you work with friends, you don’t mind making an ass of yourself. And if you’re working on something that’s comedic, you better be willing to fall on your face.
Every Deadpool Variant Confirmed To Appear In Deadpool & Wolverine
Deadpool & Wolverine is dealing heavily with the MCU multiverse, likely prompting several variants of the Merc with a Mouth to appear in the film.
What Could Deadpool 4 Be About?
Assuming thatDeadpool & Wolverinebecomes a box office and critical success, it wouldn’t be shocking at all to seeDeadpool 4get greenlit. With Wade set to seemingly exist in the MCU permanently, there are a lot of fun directions they could take him in a hypotheticalDeadpool 4. Depending on howDeadpool & Wolverineends,Deadpool 4could be Wade’s proper exploration of the MCU as he gets familiarized with his new home.
Interestingly enough, Levy recently stated that he would love to doaDeadpool & Spider-Manmoviewith Reynolds and Tom Holland, which would be terrific, especially afterSpider-Man 4. Given their fun dynamic in the comics, seeing Spider-Man and Deadpool teaming up in any capacity would guarantee another success for Marvel Studios. While it would obviously be another collaboration between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, the latter is likely going to be open for this type of team-up film, especially ifDeadpool & Wolverineemerges as a 2024 hit.
While it has yet to be confirmed or denied by Marvel Studios,Levy is reportedly being eyed to directAvengers 5.
Deadpool 4could also be something that happens in Phase 7, which is where the X-Men are bound to have their big focus, as their reboot movie is currently being developed. Given how pastDeadpoolmovies poked fun at the lack of X-Men in his stories,Deadpool 4could make up for that, as the mutants become bigger players in the MCU going forward. But in order forDeadpool 4to become a reality, the world will first have to catchDeadpool & Wolverinein theaters this summer.
