It seems Ryan Reynolds really wanted to be with his family, and that is why during the 2026 San Diego Comic-Con it was not just a typical signing event.
In particular, the Deadpool star was FaceTiming with his wife Blake Lively and their little boy Olin, who is 3 years old, when he was already in the denim superhero costume.

“When you’re reading a Captain America book and get interrupted by a FaceTime from Dad,” read the caption by the Gossip Girl star, who wore a bright banded button-down while Olin wore green striped pajamas as they lay cozily on a bed.

“When do you start filming?” he asked Robert Downey Jr., who replied that the film, which isn’t out yet, “is in the can, bro.”
So Reynolds, who hasn’t officially signed on to appear in the upcoming Avengers movie, followed up with a joke that there “isn’t any additional photography, no overages, maybe last minute additions?”

“There’s eventually, remotely another Deadpool film,” said Reynolds at the Fanatics Fest earlier this month. “It’s gonna be great.”
