Deadpool’s love life in the MCU might take a turn nobody saw coming. A new rumor hints at a surprising romantic twist for the Merc with a Mouth in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Deadpool may move on from Vanessa in Avengers: Secret Wars
Scooper MyTimeToShineHello recently shared a new rumor about Deadpool’s arc in Avengers: Secret Wars. The X post claims Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool will “reportedly also fall in love in Avengers: Secret Wars.” This tease suggests the Merc with a Mouth could pursue a new romantic interest in the upcoming film.
The rumor stands out because Secret Wars does not seem like a movie built around romantic storylines. Marvel Studios has positioned the film as a massive multiverse event featuring dozens of heroes and villains. The Russo Brothers are directing the project, which serves as the final chapter of the Multiverse Saga.
Deadpool’s last major romantic arc centered entirely on his relationship with Vanessa Carlysle. Morena Baccarin played the character across Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and briefly in Deadpool & Wolverine. Wade Wilson spent most of his journey trying to reunite with Vanessa after her death in the sequel.
Deadpool & Wolverine ended with Wade finding a new sense of purpose alongside Logan. He also landed in the main MCU timeline after leaving his original universe behind. That shift effectively separated him from his version of Vanessa for good.
Avengers: Secret Wars already boasts a stacked cast including Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. Pedro Pascal, Benedict Cumberbatch, Anthony Mackie, and the full Thunderbolts* team will also appear. Marvel has not yet confirmed Reynolds’ involvement, but his inclusion feels widely expected after Deadpool & Wolverine grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide.
MyTimeToShineHello has a mixed track record with Marvel scoops but has landed several accurate calls in the past. Marvel Studios has not commented on this rumor. The film hits theaters on December 17, 2027.
