Ryan Reynolds Teases Deadpool Holiday Special with Festive Instagram Clip
Ryan Reynolds has sent shockwaves among fans with a new Instagram Story, where he's seen donning his iconic Deadpool suit. The thrilling clip, although grainy, offered a brief glimpse of Reynolds interacting with the camera on a film set before turning towards a sleigh. The imagery sparked widespread speculation among fans, hinting at a potential Deadpool holiday special.
Reynolds Fuels Speculations with Christmas-Themed Filter
The clip was overlaid with a Christmas-themed filter and featured a rendition of Rufus Wainwright's "Oh What a World" which masked the background sound. This deliberate obscurity suggests Reynolds is attempting to create a buzz while keeping the finer details under wraps.
Looking Back at Once Upon a Deadpool
The release of Once Upon a Deadpool in 2018, a re-cut version of Deadpool 2, has led to assumptions that a similar take on Deadpool & Wolverine might be on the cards. Once Upon a Deadpool, which hit theaters during Christmas in 2018, toned down the original's gore and language to secure a PG-13 rating. The movie incorporated fresh scenes using a framing device where Deadpool narrated the story to Fred Savage, an homage to The Princess Bride.
New Film Speculations and Release Timeline
Reynolds first sparked speculation in October by posting an on-set photograph with co-star Leslie Uggams, captioning it "That was fun today" and expressing his admiration for Uggams. Fans have been keeping a close eye on Reynolds' Instagram ever since, eagerly awaiting updates.
Changes in the Film Industry
Considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the film industry, Marvel might adopt a different release timeline this time around. Moreover, Deadpool & Wolverine's broader implications on the MCU might also influence the release schedule.
What's Next?
While Reynolds chooses to maintain the surprise for now, fans can indulge in the existing three Deadpool movies and Once Upon a Deadpool, currently streaming on Disney+.
