Ryan Reynolds has given us some heartfelt movies, like the John Krasinski-directed family movie IF, the sci-fi hit The Adam Project, and Free Guy, on both of which he collaborated with Shawn Levy, along with some action-packed features like The Hitman’s Bodyguard franchise, where he stars alongside Samuel L Jackson, Netflix’s Red Notice, where he stars opposite Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot, and Michael Bay’s 6 Underground among others. However, all of these roles pale in comparison to the one he is best known for — Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth, aka Deadpool.
Reynolds’ struggle to get the R-rated superhero movie made is well known among fans, and when the character rights transferred from Fox to Marvel Studios, fans couldn’t wait for their favorite character to join the MCU roster. Not only did Reynolds bring Deadpool to the MCU, but he also brought Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine back to the big screen, fulfilling fans’ longtime dream. Deadpool & Wolverine is easily counted among the best superhero movies ever, with its hilarious jokes, a platoon of Deadpool variants, ample gore, and a multiversal plot that complements the larger MCU. Directed by Levy, the movie became an R-rated billion-dollar hit while fans are still eagerly waiting for the character’s reappearance on the big screen in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.
Queens, New York
🕷️ Spider-Man
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.
Hell’s Kitchen, New York
😈 Daredevil
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.
Stark Industries, Malibu
🤖 Iron Man
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.
New York City
💀 The Punisher
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.
Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms
⚡ Thor
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.
Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers
🛡️ Captain America
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.
