Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the "early stages" of developing a new cinematic venture that would bring Deadpool and the X-Men together in an exciting ensemble film. According to THR, Reynolds envisions a movie where Deadpool shares the spotlight with three or four other X-Men characters, allowing these heroes to take center stage and be "used in unexpected ways." This approach promises a fresh take on the beloved characters, highlighting their unique abilities and personalities in novel scenarios.
This project is distinct from the X-Men film that Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie is currently working on. Reynolds is known for meticulously crafting his ideas before presenting them to Marvel, a process he followed with the successful Deadpool & Wolverine film, which initially started as a concept for a low-budget road trip movie. This ensemble project is not the first time Reynolds has expressed interest in a team-up movie for Deadpool, adding further intrigue to the Merc With a Mouth's future adventures.
While the specific X-Men characters joining Deadpool remain a mystery, fans can speculate based on past collaborations. Deadpool has previously worked with several X-Men members and their adversaries in his films, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit. The potential for new and dynamic interactions between Deadpool and these iconic characters is immense, promising an engaging and entertaining cinematic experience.
