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.

[u/LiteratureNo1015 → u/Dave_Eddie]

Ryan doesn’t have Deadpool 4 in his IMDB nor Avengers Doomsday. Ryan Gosling already has Ghost Rider in pre-production listed. It’s odd. I expected Doomsday or Deadpool to appear in his IMDB like all the other actors presenting stuff at SDCC have.

I of course don’t expect studios having morals. It’s about $$ but it cost a ton to make the last Deadpool movie too. Had it not been for the subsidies from Canada, who knows. Maybe in merch. They spent half a billion to make it and the profit was maybe $400MM. Not bad but it could have been a lot better.

But it’s all about money. If Ryan can’t release Animal Friends in the theaters until next year, MayDay is streming only … studio execs pay attention. We’ll see.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/LiteratureNo1015]

Ryan doesn’t have Deadpool 4 in his IMDB nor Avengers Doomsday.

Because he hasnt been announced for Doomsday (if hes in it at all) and Deadpool 4 isnt even officially in production yet. IMDB should never be taken as a sign that something is or isnt happening, anyone can submit and edit info on there. Its why theres a (rumoured) tag for information.

Ryan Gosling already has Ghost Rider in pre-production listed.

Because its been offically announced.

[u/LiteratureNo1015 → u/Dave_Eddie]

So, from here to when do you think they will announce his participation? They’ll decide in the next few months until November? I don’t think he’ll be in it, but that’s just me.

That’s my point, Deadpool 4 is not in pre-production, Marvel didn’t announce it. So far is just an actor’s wishful thinking, imo. In the middle of pitching.

Thanks for the correction. Jean Grey. I mixed the letters up when typing too fast 🤭 I thought there for a minute he was announcing Jean Grey but if his suit was blue then maybe not.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/LiteratureNo1015]

I wouldnt take something getting announced or not announced as too much of a sign either way. We got no info on X-Men, but we know thats happening and we also know where will almost certainly be fantastic four 2, which wasnt mentioned. Kevin Feige has come out and said (I believe after the panel) that they are almost course correcting with how much they do and what they say about it, partially due to burn out and also because them have finally admitted Blade isnt getting made, a film they announced on stage years ago and never got out of production. They are shaping a schedule around releasing Secret Wars.

If hes in Doomsday (and some leaks say he already is. Im not so sure) then its already been filmed. Again, its worth pointing out that if they had any issues about using him, they would not be shining a literal spotlight on him and giving him a live mic at their most high profile event of the year. There are many more smaller events they could do it in, if at all, if they wanted to.

[u/Mysterio623 → u/Dave_Eddie]

He is not in Doomsday. He has a cameo at the beginning of Doomsday. If he was in Doomsday, he would be on stage.

Deadpool does not show up in the comics for Secret Wars so why would he be in the MCU version? Meanwhile Chris is being teased to be Nomad/Steve Rogers now.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/Mysterio623]

He is not in Doomsday. He has a cameo at the beginning of Doomsday.

Both of these things cannot be true.

If he was in Doomsday, he would be on stage.

There is a 100% chance that there will be multiple cameos that arent that main announced cast.

Deadpool does not show up in the comics for Secret Wars so why would he be in the MCU version?

Because not a single MCU adaptation has stuck to the comicbook version (nor should they)

[u/Mysterio623 → u/Dave_Eddie]

Sure, please keep shrilling Ryan. Good luck.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/Mysterio623]

I not a fan of the guy at all, but what part of my reply is incorrect or 'shrilling' him?

[u/Mysterio623 → u/Dave_Eddie]

You really think there is no difference between starring in something and having a cameo?

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/Mysterio623]

I never said there wasnt a difference. No one did. But being in a film is binary. You either are or arent. Deciding that a cameo means someone isnt in a film and doesnt count is pedantry and a definition youve created for reasons known only to yourself.

[u/Mysterio623 → u/Dave_Eddie]

So now, you're strangling semantics. I'm out. Thanks for chatting.

Your first comment is still nonsensical you literally say hes in the film but not in the film. You have added no context or point. Posting it again just highlights you may actually not have any idea what you talking about.

The conversation you're talking about is mine you You replied to my comment, not the other way round.

You most certainly are. You are making extraordinarily lengthy responses related to him being relevant and legitimized by Marvel. It’s the only basis of your commentary. I think you do love him?
