Ryan Reynolds' Early Efforts to Revive Deadpool and X-Men Film

Author : Scarlett May 07,2025

Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the "early stages" of developing a new film that would bring together Deadpool and several X-Men characters. According to THR, Reynolds envisions this project as an ensemble film where Deadpool would not be the central figure but would share the spotlight with three or four other X-Men. The aim is to highlight these characters in innovative and unexpected ways, allowing them to take center stage.

This proposed movie would be distinct from the X-Men film being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie. Reynolds is known for meticulously crafting his ideas before presenting them to Marvel, a process he also followed with the development of Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially was conceived as a low-budget road trip movie.

While the specific X-Men characters that might join Deadpool in this new venture remain undisclosed, Deadpool has a history of collaborating with various X-Men members and their adversaries in previous films. Notable characters include Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit.

For fans eager to stay updated on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's a wealth of upcoming movies and TV shows to look forward to.
