Ryan Reynolds Eyes Deadpool-X-Men Film: Early Stages

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, this ensemble project would not center solely on Deadpool; instead, he would share the spotlight with three or four other X-Men, allowing these characters to take center stage and be utilized in "unexpected ways." This film would be distinct from the X-Men project being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie.

Reynolds is known for meticulously crafting his ideas before presenting them to Marvel. This approach was evident in the development of Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially started as a concept for a low-budget road trip movie. While this isn't the first time Reynolds has been linked to an ensemble Deadpool film, the latest reports provide more insight into the potential direction of the Merc With a Mouth's future adventures.

As for which X-Men characters might join Deadpool, it remains a mystery. However, Deadpool has a history of collaborating with various X-Men members and their adversaries in previous films, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit.
