Before the holiday cheers took off this year with Halloween to roll out the welcome mat for the year-ending celebrations, Deadpool & Wolverine brought the box-office festivities for warm-up. Unaware of what was to come, this prelude hit harder than an on-season celebration, cranking up the anticipation to the next level for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s future. Now, fresh off swallowing the victory pills, the Marvel Jesus, that is Ryan Reynolds himself, shed light on a possible Avengers: Secret Wars retreat, leaving fans guessing and convinced simultaneously.

In a recent conversation with Variety, Deadpool & Wolverine showstopper, Ryan Reynolds took a stroll down memory lane of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s biggest summer release to leave fans to piece it together for what will come next. Asked about Deadpool’s future in Marvel, particularly in its upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars, Reynolds slipped into his characteristic elusiveness, saying, “We’ll see what happens there,” letting out a little giggle.

Reynolds may not have given the scoop many wanted in a golden spoon, but most believe there is still time for it, making them believe "he's coming."

Some remain hopeful in their hearts, while many of them look a little more than convinced that it is nothing but a comeback cue.
