Ryan Reynolds at an event for Deadpool 2 (2018)
Deadpool and Wolverine team for a threequel. Hugh Jackman retired from the role after 'Logan' (2017), but pal Ryan Reynolds convinced him to return. This will be Deadpool's first film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Disney purchased Fox in 2019, but he'll likely feel right at home breaking the fourth wall with She-Hulk. The X-Men and mutants could also enter the MCU at this point unless on of Marvel's Phase 5 films beats Deadpool to the punch. Jackman says that this new vision for Wolverine hasn't been see in the X-Men movie or their spin-offs. "He's definitely the angrier, acerbic, grumpy [Wolverine], and he's gonna take a lot of free shots at Ryan Reynolds. Physically, that is." Shawn Levy ('Free Guy,' "Stranger Things") takes the helm with a script from 'Deadpool 2' and 'Zombieland' writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Reynolds confirmed that the events of 'Logan' won't play into 'Deadpool 3' but hasn't shared more details. See what Deadpool and Wolverine have up their sleeves in Nov. 2024.

Ryan Rodney Reynolds was born on October 23, 1976 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the youngest of four children. His father, James Chester Reynolds, was a food wholesaler, and his mother, Tamara Lee "Tammy" (Stewart), worked as a retail-store saleswoman. He has Irish and Scottish ancestry. Between 1991-93, Ryan appeared in Fifteen (1990), a Nickleodeon series taped in Florida with many other Canadian actors. After the series ended, he returned to Vancouver where he played in a series of forgettable television movies. He did small roles in Glenn Close's Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story (1995) and CBS's update of In Cold Blood (1996). However, his run of luck had led him to decide to quit acting.

One night, he ran into fellow Vancouver actor and native Chris William Martin. Martin found Ryan rather despondent and told him to pack everything: they were going to head to Los Angeles, California. The two stayed in a cheap Los Angeles motel. On the first night of their stay, Reynolds' jeep was rolled downhill and stripped. For the next four months, Ryan drove it without doors. In 1997, he landed the role of Berg in Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place (1998). Initially, the show was reviled by critics and seemed desperate for any type of ratings success. However, it was renewed for a second season but with a provision for a makeover by former Roseanne (1988) writer Kevin Abbott. The show became a minor success and has led to additional film roles for Ryan, most notably in the last-ever MGM film, a remake of The Amityville Horror (2005). Ryan was engaged to Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, another Nickelodeon veteran, between 2004-2006.

He has been married to Blake Lively since September 9, 2012. They have three daughters. He was previously married to Scarlett Johansson.

  • Quotes
    (on kissing the older woman in National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002)) On that note, that being said, it was damn hard kissing her. You've never experienced anything until you've had a mature, darting tongue in your mouth.
    • Has appeared in several superhero/comic book adaptations, especially as Deadpool.
