Ryan Reynolds Hints At Deadpool’s Future As A Supporting Character

Possibly In A Gambit Movie?

Ryan Reynolds, the man behind the iconic, fourth-wall-breaking Deadpool, recently sat down with Andrew Garfield for Variety’s Actors on Actors series. While reflecting on the future of the Deadpool franchise, Reynolds dropped a surprising hint: Deadpool could potentially work best as a supporting character. And who might lead this new adventure? None other than Gambit, with Channing Tatum stepping into the role.

Reynolds explained that Deadpool thrives on surprise and scarcity, suggesting that the Merc with a Mouth might make a bigger impact in smaller doses. “The character works very well in two ways — scarcity and surprise,” Reynolds said. This idea opens the door for Deadpool to pop up in other Marvel projects, where his biting humor and meta-commentary can add a new layer without overwhelming the story.

One potential avenue for Deadpool’s future? A long-anticipated Gambit movie starring Channing Tatum. While the Gambit project has faced years of development delays, fans have remained eager to see the Ragin’ Cajun finally take center stage. A Deadpool cameo or supporting role could inject the kind of dynamic, chaotic energy that Reynolds excels at, making it a unique blend of action, humor, and charm.

This direction aligns with Reynolds' desire for creative freedom and narrative flexibility. Rather than being tied down to endless sequels, Deadpool could appear in unexpected ways, keeping audiences on their toes. Given the chemistry and comedic potential between Reynolds and Tatum, the possibility of a Gambit-Deadpool team-up is too exciting to ignore.

While Disney and Marvel haven’t officially announced such a collaboration, Reynolds’ comment is enough to spark speculation. Whether it's a brief cameo or a key supporting role, Deadpool’s unpredictability could be just what Gambit needs to leap from concept to reality.

For now, Reynolds remains committed to making sure every Deadpool appearance delivers heart, humor, and just the right amount of mayhem — wherever he shows up next.
