While everyone anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine would hit the world like a truck without brakes and rake in staggering box office numbers, few expected it to reach the massive milestone of $1.31 billion globally. Now that the film has delivered big for Marvel Studios and claimed the title of the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history, dethroning Joker (2019), it's clear that there's much more in store for this dynamic duo. It’s only natural that the studio won't let the momentum generated by the Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman starrer fade. So, when we say that Deadpool & Wolverine 2 is already being considered, it shouldn’t come as a shock. Yes, you read that right—reports now suggest that the sequel might arrive sooner than expected! 

Is Deadpool & Wolverine 2 Already in the Works?

For the uninitiated, Deadpool & Wolverine was one of the most anticipated movies of 2024. This marked the debut of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s iconic characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), after Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox. The movie opened countless doors by connecting to the multiverse and also tying into Avengers: Secret Wars in the broader MCU storyline. And now, it seems the studio is keen on developing a sequel. Here’s everything you need to know.

Not long ago, reports suggested that Marvel Studios wasn't in a hurry to develop a sequel to Deadpool & Wolverine. It was even hinted that fans shouldn’t expect Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman to return anytime soon. However, the film’s success has reportedly changed the studio's stance. According to My Time To Shine H, discussions about Deadpool & Wolverine 2 are already taking place. Although the project hasn’t officially entered the development stage, there’s hope that we might see a sequel much sooner than anticipated.

About Deadpool & Wolverine

A new official synopsis for the movie humorously reads: “Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date – Deadpool & Wolverine. A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life, his days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit up again—with an even more reluctant Wolverine. Fck. Synopses are so fcking stupid.”

The movie stars Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) alongside returning cast members Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), and Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) from the Fox universe. Emma Corrin plays Cassandra Nova, and Matthew Macfadyen portrays a TVA Agent, both making their MCU debuts.
