Ryan Reynolds makes big statement about Marvel boss
Ryan Reynolds explains the deep bond he shares with Kevin Feige
Ryan Reynolds shares a strong bond with Marvel’s chief, Kevin Feige, as he says he “trusts him with his life.”
His remarks come in connection with a question that asked him whether he would appear in upcoming Avengers films.
“There are no updates to share just yet,” he tells THR. “But I trust Kevin and Lou D’Esposito [a filmmaker and Marvel executive producer] with my life.”
Then, he explains his reason for not including the Merc with Mouth in the groups of either the Avengers or the X-Men.
“The character trait I love most about Deadpool is that he’s a fanboy. His enthusiasm and longing to be part of a team is really endearing to me. It’s his overarching wish-fulfillment story.”
“But I don’t think he should ever be an Avenger or an X-Man. If he becomes either, we’re at the end,” he notes.
When pressed further, Ryan adds, “Just the opposite! I think Deadpool works so well appearing with the X-Men and Avengers, but he always needs to stay an outsider.”
In the meantime, Doomsday releases in U.S. theaters on May 1, 2026, and Secret Wars on May 7, 2027.
