Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the "early stages" of developing a new film concept that would bring Deadpool together with several X-Men characters. According to THR, Reynolds envisions an ensemble movie where Deadpool isn't the central figure but shares the spotlight with three or four other X-Men. The idea is to let these characters take the lead and be utilized in innovative and unexpected ways, offering a fresh take on the superhero genre.
This project would stand apart from the X-Men film being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie. Reynolds, known for meticulously crafting his ideas before presenting them to Marvel, has a history of such initiatives. His approach mirrors the development of Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially started as a concept for a low-budget road trip movie.
While the specific X-Men characters joining Deadpool remain undisclosed, the Merc With a Mouth has previously collaborated with various members of the team and their adversaries in his films. Past appearances have included Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit, hinting at a wide range of potential co-stars.
This isn't the first mention of Reynolds working on a Deadpool ensemble film, but it provides further insight into the potential direction of the project. As fans eagerly await more details, the anticipation builds for what adventures Deadpool might embark on next alongside his mutant friends.
