Ryan Reynolds in Early Talks for Deadpool and X-Men Film

Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the early stages of bringing a new Deadpool and X-Men movie to life, according to THR. This project, which has yet to be pitched to Marvel, would not center around Deadpool as the main character. Instead, Reynolds envisions an ensemble film where Deadpool shares the spotlight with three or four other X-Men characters. These characters would take center stage and be "used in unexpected ways," offering a fresh take on the superhero genre.

This proposed film would be distinct from the X-Men movie being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie. It follows a similar development path to Deadpool & Wolverine, which Reynolds initially conceptualized as a low-budget road trip movie before it evolved into a blockbuster. Reynolds is known for refining his ideas independently before presenting them to Marvel, a strategy that has proven successful in the past.

While the specific X-Men characters joining Deadpool remain undisclosed, the Merc With a Mouth has a history of collaborating with various members of the team and their adversaries in previous films. Characters like Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit have already shared the screen with Deadpool, hinting at the potential for a diverse and dynamic ensemble.

This isn't the first time Reynolds has been linked to an ensemble Deadpool project, but the latest details provide more insight into the potential adventures awaiting the beloved anti-hero.
