Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the "early stages" of developing a new film that would bring together Deadpool and the X-Men, although no official pitch has been made to Marvel yet. According to THR, Reynolds envisions this as an ensemble movie where Deadpool would not be the central figure but would share the spotlight with three or four other X-Men characters. Reynolds aims to highlight these characters in innovative and unexpected ways, allowing them to take center stage.
This project is distinct from another X-Men movie being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie. Reynolds is known for meticulously crafting his ideas before presenting them to Marvel, much like he did with Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially started as a concept for a low-budget road trip movie. This isn't the first time Reynolds has been linked to an ensemble Deadpool film, but recent reports provide more insight into the potential narrative direction.
While the specific X-Men characters who might join Deadpool remain undisclosed, the Merc With a Mouth has previously collaborated with various X-Men members and their adversaries in his films, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit. This new project could expand on these existing connections and introduce fresh dynamics.
