Deadpool Makes a Festive Return to Disney Plus
This Christmas, forget about the traditional holiday feasting; Disney Plus is gearing up to deliver a unique treat featuring chimichangas, as fan-favorite Ryan Reynolds is reportedly reprising his role for a Deadpool Holiday Special.
Deadpool’s Triumphant Comeback
Earlier this year, audiences welcomed back Reynolds’ iconic character alongside Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine. This film not only proved to be one of the best entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) but also ranked among the highest-grossing films in history, trailing only behind Inside Out 2 for this year’s box office success.
What to Expect This Holiday Season
While the future of Deadpool 4 remains uncertain, speculation suggests Reynolds’s character will definitely make an appearance in the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars. However, anticipation is building for his return to screens just in time for Christmas.

Behind-the-Scenes Sneak Peek
In a recent Instagram story embellished with animated snowfall, Reynolds shared a glimpse from the set wearing Deadpool’s beloved costume beside a charming Santa’s sleigh. This follows a previous social media post where he hinted at the holiday special alongside Blind Al, portrayed by Leslie Uggams, showcasing a delightful photo of them with a Santa doll.
A Holiday Tradition
This wouldn’t mark Reynolds’s first festive endeavor as Deadpool. In December 2018, audiences were treated to a PG-13 retelling of Deadpool 2, cleverly titled Once Upon a Deadpool. This new special appears to attract a similar vibe, potentially reaching a broader family audience.

What’s Next for Deadpool?
There’s speculation that this upcoming holiday special may be an entirely new production rather than merely editing existing footage for a family-friendly audience. Earlier reports from The Cosmic Circus suggest that a Deadpool Holiday Special Presentation is in the works, indicating something fresh and exciting for fans.
Excitement from Fans
The buzz around this potential special is palpable, with fans expressing their hopes on social media. One user remarked, “Kinda hoping this ends up being the next MCU Holiday Special Presentation.” Another fan commented, “The Guardians’ special was tons of fun, so an irreverent Deadpool holiday special would be amazeballs.”
As the holiday season approaches, fans are eager to find out more about this special offering and its connections to other Marvel projects like Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and Avengers: Doomsday.
