Ryan Reynolds Eyes Deadpool-X-Men Film Crossover

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 this as an ensemble movie where Deadpool shares the spotlight but does not take the lead. Instead, three or four other X-Men characters would be highlighted and used in innovative ways.

This project, distinct from the X-Men film being crafted by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie, follows a similar development pattern to Deadpool & Wolverine. Reynolds is known for refining his ideas independently before presenting them to Marvel. The early concept for Deadpool & Wolverine was a low-budget road trip movie, showcasing Reynolds' creative approach.

While the specific X-Men characters to join Deadpool remain undisclosed, he has a history of collaborating with various mutants in his films. Past movies have featured interactions with characters like Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit.
