Ryan Reynolds: Early Talks to Revive Deadpool and X-Men Film

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, Reynolds envisions an ensemble movie where Deadpool would not be the central focus but rather share the spotlight with three or four other X-Men. The idea is to highlight these characters in innovative and unexpected ways, allowing them to take center stage.

This project would be distinct from the X-Men film being developed by Michael Lesslie, known for his work on the Hunger Games series. Reynolds is known for meticulously crafting his projects before presenting them to Marvel, similar to his approach with the film Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially started as a concept for a low-budget road trip movie.

While the specific X-Men characters to join Deadpool in this new venture remain a mystery, Deadpool has a history of teaming up with various members of the X-Men in past films, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's portrayal of Gambit. This isn't the first time Reynolds has explored the idea of an ensemble film featuring Deadpool, but this latest development provides more insight into the potential direction of the Merc With a Mouth's future adventures.
