Though Marvel Studios left the lid on Deadpool 3 and MCU X-Men projects during the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con, the D23 Marvel presentation is set to break down any doors blocking the Marvel collection from expanding like never before.

With pre-production underway for Deadpool 3, a new photo of Ryan Reynolds training has every Marvel fan assuming that it’s for his Marvel return:

With Ryan Reynolds finally joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s only a matter of time until Deadpool makes an official appearance in an Avengers or Spider-Man movie, something fans have been hoping for since the first Deadpool (2016).

Given that Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige are keeping Deadpool 3 rated R, it’s evident that the Wade Wilson won’t be toned down in the slightest. Now that he’s in a new universe, there’s a whole world of opportunity for new jokes and insane crossovers.

The Marvel Universe is becoming much more than iconic characters/Earth’s Mightiest Heroes like Star-Lord/Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Hawkeye/Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), and Thanos (Josh Brolin).

Tom Holland’s Avenger is leading the way for Marvel Cinematic Universe newcomers Kate Bishop,  Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac), Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany), Eternals’ Thena (Angelina Jolie), and more — especially with his next Spider-Man trilogy that’s currently in the works.
