The company was asked about the Blue Bomber series during a recent shareholders meeting.According to VGC, a person inquired about what's going on with the traditionally side-scrolling series, which hasn't seen a new entry since Mega Man 11 in 2018.

Deadpool & Wolverine isn't a "commercial for another movie," according to actor Ryan Reynolds. It's a standalone film, he said recently on Good Morning America. That's notable because many Marvel movies tell interconnected stories, with one film ending with a teaser for the next. Deadpool & Wolverine, though, will tell its own self-contained story, apparently."We recognized this was lighting in a bottle; it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And also, we didn't do a movie that is necessarily a commercial for another movie. It is a complete experience when you come to see Deadpool & Wolverine," Reynolds said.Reynolds went on to say that Disney gave him their "full support" to make Deadpool & Wolverine its own thing as opposed to being a part of a bigger MCU puzzle.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
