Depool is undoubtedly one of biggest IPs which Disney acquired in infamous $56 billion merger. Thus, acquiring a character with proven box office success and benching him down for years before exploring it with a new actor does t fit well for eir Disney or Marvel. On or hand, Ryan has grown synymous with Depool amid fans, similar to Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man or Chris Evans' Captain America, thus Kevin Fiege signing a multi-picture deal with actor does t sound like a long shot. Kevin Fiege, during D-23 Expo event, h claimed that Fantastic Four and X-Men will be making ir way to MCU, Depool can simply play connective tissue between older characters and newer ones, making it a perfect deal for both Ryan and Fiege.
