Ryan Reynolds makes big statement about Marvel boss

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.
