Ryan Reynolds on Deadpool’s Place in the MCU
Reynolds has shared his perspective on where Deadpool fits within the broader MCU framework. He has remarked,
I don’t think he should ever be an Avenger or an X-Man. If he becomes either, we’re at the end.

Asked whether this stance could affect his participation in Avengers: Doomsday, its sequel Avengers: Secret Wars, or a future X-Men reboot, Reynolds indicated quite the opposite. He explained that Deadpool functions best as an outsider who interacts with both the Avengers and the X-Men without fully joining their ranks.
His ultimate dream is to be accepted and appreciated. But he can’t be accepted. His coping mechanism of deflecting shame through humor works only when used to pave over his many inadequacies. If and when he does become an Avenger or X-Man, we’re at the end of his journey.
