Ryan Reynolds in Early Talks for Deadpool and X-Men Film

Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the early stages of bringing a new Deadpool and X-Men film to life, though nothing has been pitched to Marvel yet. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds envisions an ensemble movie where Deadpool shares the spotlight with three or four X-Men characters. Rather than taking the lead, Deadpool would allow these other characters to take center stage, offering them the chance to be "used in unexpected ways." This project would be separate from the X-Men movie being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie.

Reynolds is known for fleshing out his ideas independently 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. This isn't the first time we've heard about Reynolds working on an ensemble film for Deadpool, but the new details provide a clearer picture of the potential adventures ahead for the Merc With a Mouth.

As for which X-Men might join Deadpool, the possibilities are wide open. Deadpool has a history of collaborating with various X-Men members and their adversaries in his films, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit. This ensemble project promises to bring fresh dynamics and unexpected twists to the franchise.
