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 project as an ensemble film where Deadpool would not be the central figure but would share the spotlight with three or four other X-Men. The aim is to highlight these characters in innovative and unexpected ways, allowing them to take center stage.
This proposed movie would be distinct from the X-Men film being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie. Reynolds is known for meticulously crafting his ideas before presenting them to Marvel, a process he also followed with the development of Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially was conceived as a low-budget road trip movie.
While this isn't the first time Reynolds has been linked to an ensemble project featuring Deadpool, the latest reports provide more insight into the potential direction of the film. As for which X-Men might join Deadpool, the possibilities are wide open. Deadpool has previously collaborated with various X-Men characters in his films, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit.
