Ryan Reynolds confirmed in a “Sunday Today” interview that he’s got some stuff already written when asked about Deadpool‘s return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While there’s no information on what the actor is cooking up for his foul-mouthed superhero, it appears it will not be a standalone “Deadpool 4” movie.

“I have some stuff kind of written, but I don’t think I am ever going to center him again,” Reynolds said, revealing Deadpool’s life as a big screen main character might be over as far as Reynolds’ iteration of the character is concerned. “He is a supporting character. He is a guy who is great in a group.”
