Deadpool & Wolverinewas a smash hit for Marvel. Reuniting Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool led to huge box office returns for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film,becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all-time.That financial success was largely the result ofDeadpool & Wolverine’spositive reception among fans, especially longterm fans of theX-Menfranchise.
As a result, audiences are already clamoring for more of the dup. In an interview withOmelete, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige addressed the possibility of their return, stating “The plans with Deadpool and Wolverine will always be the same: we’re always wondering where we can fit them in, and how fast.“The sentiment behind Feige’s words is that the MCU will likely see a return from one or both characters, as both the production team and audiences are eager for more.
What Kevin Feige’s Deadpool & Wolverine Comments Mean
Feige did not outright confirm any future projects with Jackman and Reynolds, but he did make it sound like discussions were happening. Though the film is a multiversal romp that largely takes place in the Void,Deadpool & Wolverineended with the titular duo back in Deadpool’s universe instead of the MCU’s 616 continuity. However,Avengers: Secret Warswill tell a multiversal story, potentially paving the way for Logan and Wade to join the MCU’s other main characters.Moreover, the film threaded the needle for Deadpool to have a role in the conflict by showing a previously unseen clip of him with Thor.
Will Deadpool appear in Avengers 5?
When asked in a new interview about whether Deadpool would appear in Avengers: Doomsday, Ryan Reynolds played coy, saying, “We’ll see what happens there.” Deadpool & Wolverine broke several records to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, with $1.3 billion worldwide. After that level of success and the audience loving Reynolds' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine together, I believe that both characters will appear in the next two Avengers movies. The reason for that is while Reynolds could continue in the MCU, Jackman likely has only a couple more films left, so the Avengers films fit in nicely.
The other positive is that Feige and Marvel Studios are being considerate of the story and how bringing back Deadpool and Wolverine could serve the MCU.While any further Deadpool content would likely be appreciated by fans, it’s obviously better if their inclusion works with the broader narrative.With reports thatSecret Warswill feature more cameos from past Marvel films andreset the MCU, Reynolds and Jackman’s appearance seems more likely.

Aside from the creative reasons why bringing Deadpool and Wolverine makes sense, the financial incentive cannot be ignored.Deadpool & Wolverineisn’t just high-earning for an R-rated film; it’s also among the MCU’s most profitable outings.Beyond that, all threeDeadpoolfilms have performed well, and Jackman’s Wolverine has long been a reliable draw for audiences. The MCU should not waste the opportunity to keep such well-liked and bankable stars in their lineup, which Feige seems aware of.
