Deadpool may be coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite the character’s repeated jokes, after Ryan Reynolds teased a secret meeting with Marvel. The actor, 42, shared a photo of himself at the Marvel Studios on Monday, captioning the picture: ‘Auditioned for the role of “Anthony Stark”. Didn’t come even remotely close, but the nice man with the taser escorted me to the ground.’
While he may not be able to take the role of Iron Man away from Robert Downey Jr., it looks likely that Deadpool may cross over into the Marvel Cinematic Universe pretty soon.
Following Disney’s acquisition of Fox, which previously distributed the Deadpool movies, it’s likely the antihero will become a Disney/Marvel character, though plans have yet to be confirmed.
Aside from joking about auditioning to be Iron Man, Ryan remained tight-lipped on whether he was at the Marvel Studios for a meeting about Deadpool or another possible project.
Deadpool director Paul Wernick told: ‘We’re always in touch with Ryan. We’ve got several projects with him in addition to the Deadpool universe.
