Star Ryan Reynolds is in the early stages of planning an X-Men focused Deadpool team up film. That’s according to a new report from trade THR, who cite what sources have told them. So what comes next after Deadpool & Wolverine was a massive hit for Disney?
‘Reynolds is exploring ideas for a Deadpool movie that would feature X-Men characters, as well as continuing to script the Paramount comedy Boy Band after making writing a priority for much of this year before tackling other obligations, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.’
‘The multi-hyphenate is working on various treatments for an ensemble film featuring three or four X-Men characters. Deadpool would of course appear, but perhaps only as a supporting player. Reynolds is said to believe that keeping his f-bomb wielding anti-hero more on the sidelines could allow for the X-Men characters to be used in unexpected ways. Reynolds has been open about every Deadpool movie needing a strong reason to exist, and it’s possible this could provide the avenue he needs.’

Deadpool is a difficult character to keep pushing into new territory. I can kinda get why Reynolds has previously talked about how, in his opinion, Deadpool can never truly become an Avenger or an X-Men member. Because, if he does, then there’s no where else left to go.
This is a separate project from the upcoming X-Men Reboot film as the trade also states.
‘The potential film is separate from a potential X-Men movie that Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie is penning for Marvel Studios.’
