Months after Deadpool 2 was released in 2018, 20th Century Fox announced plans for Once Upon A Deadpool. The sequel was toned down from an R rating to PG-13 and filmmaker David Leitch returned to shoot a few new scenes, including a cameo from Fred Savage.
It made money but received a mixed response from fans and critics for being what many felt was ultimately a cash grab. Now, speculation is running rampant that we might get a Marvel Studios-produced Deadpool Holiday Special.
Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds took to Instagram last night to share some behind-the-scenes photos from a recent shoot with Blind Al actor Leslie Uggams. Look closely, and you'll notice that their apartment was decorated for Christmas. It seems some green screen work was also required.
James Gunn's The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was a hit on Disney+ a couple of years ago and the Merc with the Mouth could get away with one that revolves solely around Deadpool and Al in their apartment. It's also possible this is for Deadpool & Wolverine's planned Oscar campaign or even something to do with the movie's eventual streaming debut.
Social media scoopers have claimed Deadpool 4 is in the works but when Reynolds was asked about that earlier this year, he joked, "Oh, God, no. My wife and children will divorce me." Despite that, we've been led to believe both Wade Wilson and Wolverine will factor into the next Avengers movies.
This can't be anything too secretive because Reynolds wouldn't have posted it on social media in that case. He's got fans talking, though, and we're hoping an official announcement will soon follow.
Check out Reynolds' posts below.

It’s a f***ing masterpiece.
