New Report Reveals Marvel Studios Surprising First Phase 7 Film
Kevin Feige has said that Marvel Studios “age of mutants” would begin following the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga. However, according to a new report, it may not start off with the mutant team everyone was expecting.
According to Jeff “The In” Sneider, Feige and the Marvel Parliament may be lining up Ryan Reynolds’ next Deadpool feature as the studio’s first post-Secret Wars theatrical project.
In May 2025, THR revealed that Reynolds was in the early stages of developing a Deadpool/X-Men team-up film which was later rumored to be an X-Force project.
I have some pitches and ideas, but none of them center on Deadpool. Centering Deadpool works best if you take everything away from him and put his back against the wall. I can’t really do that again. A fourth time feels a little iterative and redundant. That doesn’t mean sacrificing fun. There is still an arc for Deadpool which is fulfilling and powerful. He is a great supporting or ensemble player. And I would always want Deadpool and Wolverine to be paired in some way.-Ryan Reynolds on Deadpool’s MCU future
Reynolds is rumored to be appearing in Avengers: Doomsday and to have a major role alongside Hugh Jackman and Tobey Maguire in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Like almost all of Marvel’s comic book teams, X-Force, a covert, Black ops team of mutant heroes, has had a rotating roster of heroes over the years, including Wade Wilson, was originally formed by Cable. Interestingly, rumors flew some time ago about Josh Brolin, who played Cable in Deadpool 2, returning to work with Marvel Studios.
Should Sneider’s report be true, X-Force or Deadpool 4 would be in theaters on May 5, 2028, with Black Panther 3 reportedly (also by Sneider) landing in theaters on July 28, 2028. That would likely mean that Jake Schreier’s X-Men film would debut on December 15, 2028.
