Marvel’s acquisition of the X-Men may have halted Fox’s plans to expand the Deadpool franchise with X-Force, but the Disney era of the Merc with the Mouth promises to open the door to various other potential projects instead. It seems likely that Ryan Reynolds is pitching a bunch of different ideas to Kevin Feige and company behind the scenes. And the latest one we’ve heard could be the next Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
We Got This Covered has heard from our sources – the same ones who previously told us about Ryan Reynolds’ cameo in Hobbs & Shaw and the Guardians being in Thor: Love and Thunder – that the Canadian star is pushing for a Deadpool animated movie. We’ve ben told that Reynolds wants to do a cinematic animated production that he’s hoping could be the anti-hero’s equivalent of the aforementioned hit Sony film. This would be separate from DP’s MCU adventures and be very much its own thing.
A couple of years ago, FX was plowing full steam ahead on a Deadpool animated TV series, which had Atlanta’s Donald Glover as showrunner. Late in the day, though, the show was cancelled due to creative differences. Reynolds is clearly still fond of the idea of doing Wade Wilson in animation, though. And why not? Spider-Verse proved how superhero animated flicks could achieve just as much widespread acclaim as live-action ones.
As for whether this could happen or not, we don’t know yet. All we’ve been informed right now is that it’s something Reynolds is hoping to get off the ground. However, Marvel Studios is venturing into animation already, in the form of next year’s What If…? TV series. If that does well on Disney Plus then they may look to investing in animated films, too.
