As Ryan Reynolds gears up for the fourth installment of the blockbuster franchise, he is already getting back into character as the wisecracking mercenary, Deadpool. The Golden Globe nominee surprised fans with an in-costume appearance at Comic-Con during Marvel’s Hall H presentation on Saturday. The behind-the-scenes video of his undercover visit with fans as he walked the floor at the San Diego Convention Center has been shared by Reynolds on his X account.
Deadpool Fans, You Got Him Off the Ground
Reynolds expressed his gratitude towards the fans who got Deadpool off the ground so many years ago. He wrote on X, ‘The fans got Deadpool off the ground so many years ago. Yesterday, 10 years after the first film and exactly 2 years after Deadpool & Wolverine, I felt so lucky to be on the #SDCC floor with everyone whose unapologetic devotion brings so much joy to this world.’
The video also features a clip of Robert Downey Jr. calling out to Reynolds while hitting the stage with his Avengers: Doomsday co-stars. ‘Who’s this guy with the swords and stuff?’ asked the Doctor Doom actor.
Reynolds took the mic and responded with a witty remark, ‘Long-time listener, first-time caller.’ He added, ‘This seems an awfully expensive way to announce a film. When do you start filming?’ The crowd cheered in response to his quick-witted remark.
Reynolds’ surprise appearance comes after he teased last week at New York’s Fantastic Fest that Deadpool 4 is in the works. The actor expressed his excitement about the new project, stating that there are a few deep cuts missing behind the movies. He also mentioned that there’s certainly some stuff that he loves that Deadpool co-creator, Fabian Nicieza, wrote that is incredible.
After test footage of Reynolds as the Marvel anti-hero leaked in 2014, five years after he originated another version of the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), the actor earned a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in 2016’s Deadpool. He’s since reprised the role in Deadpool 2 (2018) and Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), the latter earning $1.3B globally and catapulting the franchise past the $2B mark.
Reynolds’ surprise appearance at Comic-Con has left fans excited about the new project. The actor’s gratitude towards the fans and his enthusiasm for the new Deadpool film are sure to leave a lasting impression on the audience. As the release of Deadpool 4 draws near, fans are eagerly waiting to see what the new installment has in store for them.
