Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the "early stages" of developing a new film concept that would bring together Deadpool and the X-Men. According to THR, Reynolds envisions this as an ensemble movie where Deadpool isn't the central figure but shares the spotlight with three or four other X-Men characters. The idea is to highlight these characters in novel and unexpected ways, giving them a chance to shine alongside the Merc with a Mouth.
This project is distinct from the X-Men film being penned by Michael Lesslie, known for his work on the Hunger Games series. Reynolds' approach mirrors his strategy with Deadpool & Wolverine, where he initially conceptualized the film as a low-budget road trip adventure before eventually pitching it to Marvel.
While the specific X-Men characters that might join Deadpool remain a mystery, the character has a history of teaming up with various members of the X-Men in previous films. Notable appearances include Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit. This upcoming project could potentially explore new dynamics and storylines within the Marvel universe.
