Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the "early stages" of developing a new movie that would bring Deadpool together with the X-Men, but with a twist. According to THR, Reynolds envisions this film as an ensemble piece where Deadpool would not be the central focus. Instead, he would share the spotlight with three or four other X-Men characters, who would take center stage and be "used in unexpected ways." This approach aims to highlight these characters in innovative and surprising roles.
This project is distinct from another X-Men movie being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie. Reynolds is known for nurturing his ideas independently before presenting them to Marvel, a strategy he also used for the development of Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially was conceived as a low-budget road trip movie.
While the specific X-Men characters that might join Deadpool in this ensemble film remain undisclosed, Deadpool has a history of collaborating with various X-Men members and their adversaries in past films. Notable characters include Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit.
