Ryan Reynolds holds the sixth anniversary since Deadpool was first released in theaters with throwback images of his actual debut known as the Merc With A Mouth. Frankly, Reynolds first played as a live-action role Wade Wilson in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Nevertheless, taking that less trustworthy character made the smart mercenary become the silent and compliant “Weapon XI.” When the studio refused to realize the rich potential of Merc With A Mouth’, a Deadpool test footage was (allegedly) revealed by Reynolds in 2014, which launched fans’ eagerness into the stratosphere and studio executives were forced to invest in Deadpool which was the R-rated extravaganza.
Similar to Wolverine and Hugh Jackman, Deadpool has been verified to be the role that Reynolds was born to play. Thanks to this trustworthy and sinful debut as Deadpool, the film received $784 million at the international box office, a bigger number compared with Deadpool 2 in 2018. With a $1.5 billion gross in total, the couple of films rank in the largest-grossing R-rated blockbusters of all time, showing a positive signal for comic book movies such as Logan in 2017 and Joker in 2019. When fans are impatiently looking forward to Deadpool 3, Reynolds realized that the movie not only transformed the game but also his career path.
In order to celebrate Deadpool‘s sixth anniversary, Reynolds shared a series of throwback images on Instagram on February 12, 2022. The photos demonstrate the cast in new BTS shots and also the team participating in the superhero blockbuster. Check them out as follows:

Jackman obviously posted a comment on the above post, “well isn’t that special.” Since their casting together in X-Men: Origins, Reynolds and Jackman have been inseparably tied by a bromance they’ve received with a number of flippant comments on social media or in the Deadpool films. Reynolds has always desired a Deadpool/Wolverine crossover. However, those desires were unluckily flown away by the ceremonial death of Wolverine in Logan. In 2019, Fox was acquired by Disney, which let the X-Men, Deadpool, and the Fantastic Four be controlled under Marvel Studios. Although he previously showed his interest in participating in the MCU, it seems that Jackman’s days as Wolverine have actually finished with Logan. Nonetheless, Marvel Studios’ Deadpool 3 is still working.
In a promotional video for Free Guy, Reynolds made his debut in the MCU with Korg; additionally, last year Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige claimed that Deadpool 3 has a release window. Having revealed that there is a 70% chance the movie begins filming this year, Reynolds is now discussing a script with Bob’s Burgers writers, Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin. Whereas there is not much information about this project, it is desired to be the first R-rated movie of the studio. Provided the character’s meta, fourth-wall-breaking spirit, and actually, he’s directing mutants in the MCU, nobody can make sure where else Deadpool could appear.
