Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the early stages of developing a new film that would bring together Deadpool and members of the X-Men. According to THR, this project is distinct from the X-Men movie being penned by Michael Lesslie, and Reynolds envisions it as an ensemble piece where Deadpool shares the spotlight. Instead of taking center stage, Deadpool would be part of a dynamic team, allowing other X-Men characters to shine and be utilized in innovative ways.
Reynolds, known for meticulously crafting his ideas before presenting them to Marvel, follows a similar approach as he did with the development of Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially was conceptualized as a low-budget road trip movie. This isn't the first time rumors have circulated about Reynolds working on a Deadpool ensemble film, but this latest report provides more insight into the potential direction of the project.
While the specific X-Men characters joining Deadpool in this film remain undisclosed, Deadpool has a history of teaming up with various members of the X-Men in past movies, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit. This new film could offer fresh interactions and adventures for the Merc With a Mouth.
