Ryan Reynolds is contented with his Deadpool trilogy… and his four children.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s Deadpool & Wolverine is a dream come true for fans, and with this tandem, surely many are wishing they could continue to make more films together. Apparently, Reynolds doesn’t want to make more Deadpool movies.

The actor loves to joke around, troll on social media and even in interviews. The reason he doesn’t want to film more sequels is linked to the number of his children.

No More Deadpool Sequels For Ryan Reynolds

During a conversation with People, actor Ryan Reynolds shared that when he did the first Deadpool installment, he only had one kid with his wife Blake Lively. As time went on and he reached the third film, he already had four children.

I had only one child in Deadpool 1, and I had two on Deadpool 2, but hopefully we don’t do a Deadpool 8 because I don’t want eight kids.

Indeed, having a lot of children to feed and take care of is quite challenging, and even for Hollywood couples who can afford health care, there’s the pressure of being good parents. But, of course, the actor just hilariously responded to one of the most-asked questions about the franchise.

Whether Reynolds is serious about not wanting any more sequels to Deadpool – because if he did, he might have more children – the Canadian star would never trade his role for any superhero in the world. He shared via IGN:

I never want to play another comic book character again; Deadpool, I would like to play for the rest of my life – that’d be fun.

Now that’s a hint that he still wants to make more Deadpool movies, sans the kids. When asked if he wanted to play another comic book character, he replied in the negative. “I’ve done a number of them, and I think it’s time for other people to do them now. You’ve got to share the wealth on that one,” he stated.

Some actors land one movie role and end up getting associated with it for the rest of their lives, and this is how Deadpool is to Reynolds.

The Future Of Deadpool In The MCU

Ryan Reynolds previously addressed the future of Deadpool in an interview via The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In 2019, the franchise became part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Disney acquired 21st Century Fox.

I see so much… infinite possibility in either version. If Deadpool were to be in the MCU, I think it would be explosive and amazing – and what a sandbox to play in.

It’s only a matter of time before Deadpool gets to meet other MCU characters on the big screen. The X-Men franchise is getting a reboot, and this opens a lot of opportunities for Reynolds’ anti-hero to finally make up for his critically panned performance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

It remains a mystery whether Deadpool will be getting more sequels, although the success of the third film might contribute to the reality of this speculation. After all, Reynolds loves kids so much.
