Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the "early stages" of developing a new movie that would bring together Deadpool and the X-Men, according to THR. This project, distinct from the X-Men film being crafted by Michael Lesslie, would feature Deadpool in a supporting role, sharing the spotlight with three or four other X-Men characters. Reynolds envisions these characters taking center stage and being utilized in surprising and innovative ways.
This concept echoes the development of Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially started as a low-budget road trip movie before Reynolds pitched it to Marvel. Known for nurturing his ideas independently before presenting them, Reynolds' approach to this new ensemble film could bring fresh dynamics to the franchise. While specific X-Men characters have yet to be confirmed, Deadpool has previously interacted with several members of the team and their adversaries, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit.
