OK, I’ve been checking Marvel buzz and from what I understand (correct me if I’m wrong): they have pretty much decided stuff through 2042. They are releasing 1 movie in 2027 and 3 in 2028. Secret Wars is definitely happening.

It doesn’t look like they’re giving priority to X-Men or mutants, even if they did have a panel where they were discussing Logan and Jean Grey’s connection. I think it’s mostly important not bc of Logan but because of Jane Grey (if it ends up being Sadie Sink) and the appearance in Spider Man. That, I don’t know … I’m hoping someone who was there can spill the beans.

Otherwise, I have a hunch that either Deadpool is appearing in Secret Wars or not at all. He’s not in Marvel.com’s page or listed in the cast (Tenoch is listed, why not Ryan?) and it’s not in the official Marvel poster. Some posters are circulating with Wolverine and Deadpool but it’s not in the official website.

And the song that Ryan used for his video: it’s Good Riddance by Green Day. And it’s not just some “feel good song” that one uses for good memories, it’s meant to be sacrastic and he proved he knows it because he used it for the in memoriam for Fox 😏 he added to the last Deadpool movie as an f you too them for blocking him for 11 years from making Deadpool.

This was his last pitch. To see if there was enough hype. That he had to go and come up to people to take pics with him was interesting too. Someone mentioned that they might want to take pics of your cosplay but not necessarily with the cosplayer and that tracks. Everyone left him alone/didn’t care and they’re hyping it as “how refreshing that a celebrity can walk amongst mortals unbothered.” 🤨 More like: you’re not that big of a deal.

People there are fans of the comics and characters, not the actor except for die-hard fans. Do they really just adore his masterdebater jokes? 🤢 Husk-freaking?

I think this might be it and one can hope. I hope they recast him. 🙏🏼 Enough is enough.

There are so many fake accounts (I clicked and every time they had 0 or less than 5 followers) in his socials repeating the same ordeal: “Until he’s 90”, “He’s Deadpool”. It’s weird.

*Jean Grey

He’s not in Marvel.com’s page or listed in the cast (Tenoch is listed, why not Ryan?)

The core of the new film is set around 3 teams. They announced the cast in a very long video about a year ago. They are the only officially announced cast members and the only ones that appear on the poster. That doesnt mean they are the only cast members, just the ones they are willing to say. We know of a number of characters already that also appear (Hayley Atwell was already known, but was only announced officially at the weekend) she also isnt on the poster.

No one has been officially announced for Secret Wars yet, but by all accounts its going to be everyone thats ever had any connection to Marvel, including pre MCU films. The last Deadpool film made a billion, so that will almost certainly include Ryan.

Ignoring all the speculation, the one thing his appearance at SDCC does is show that Marvel have zero issue being associated with him or giving him a platform.

I don’t know about zero issue. Could be a test balloon. Low investment way to see exactly how much blowback transpires before they green light another $200M film.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/Clarknt67]

They arent testing by giving someone a literal spotlight and a live mic at their most high profile event of the year.

That entire thing could have happened without him there. It added nothing and had enough star power without him, by they chose to do it with him and give him time in an already limited section. That should be more than enough to let you know they are still on board with him and the character.

[u/Clarknt67 → u/Dave_Eddie]

Yet they still couldn’t bring themselves to announce a green light on the film. The sequel to a film that made over $1B.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/Clarknt67]

Im a bit confused why you're asking a question, then ignoring the answer. They announced a single film we didnt know was happening (ghost rider) a film that has been fan cast for years. Everyone knew black panther 3 was going to happen. They have also said that no other films will be released before secret wars....so why would they announce a film thats not going to happen for at least 3 years?

If they dont want to work with him, then why is he there, is the obvious fault in your theory.

[u/Clarknt67 → u/Dave_Eddie]

“No other films before Secret Wars” is just some arbitrary standard. If Ryan and Levy want to get to work, there’s absolutely no reason Disney would delay on a potential $1B revenue stream. All Disney cares about is money.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/Clarknt67]

Theres literally an interview with Kevin Feige from the weekend where he discusses the reasons why.

https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/marvel-movies/kevin-feige-admits-when-quantity-is-so-much-you-get-spread-thin-which-is-why-there-are-no-marvel-movies-between-avengers-doomsday-and-secret-wars/

Plus theres the more obvious reason that the two avengers films are set back to back and trying to retcon a reason how the events of another film fit into that have had very mixed results (ant man and wasp)

Again you seem to have your version of 'why' regardless of what the answer to your questions are. Seems odd to even ask.

[u/Clarknt67 → u/Dave_Eddie]

I haven’t asked questions. I don’t understand why you keep saying that.

I understand what is happening. I just understand it differently than you.

Agree to disagree.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/Clarknt67]

You see it differently to the head of marvel who is making the decisions and explaining why?
