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 with three or four other X-Men, who would take center stage and be utilized in unexpected ways. This project would be distinct from the X-Men movie being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie.
Reynolds, known for meticulously crafting his ideas before pitching them to Marvel, has a history of exploring unique concepts. For instance, the early stages of what would become Deadpool & Wolverine were conceptualized as a low-budget road trip movie. This isn't the first time Reynolds has been linked to an ensemble project involving Deadpool, but this latest development provides more insight into potential future adventures for the Merc With a Mouth.
While the specific X-Men characters that might join Deadpool remain undisclosed, Deadpool has a history of collaborating with various members of the X-Men in his films. Past movies have featured characters like Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit.
