Ryan Reynolds in Early Talks for Deadpool and X-Men Film

By AaliyahMay 16,2025

Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the early stages of developing an ensemble film featuring Deadpool and several X-Men characters, according to THR. This project, separate from the X-Men movie being written by Michael Lesslie, would not focus solely on Deadpool but would instead highlight three to four other X-Men members in unexpected ways. This approach echoes Reynolds' previous work on Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially started as a low-budget road trip movie before evolving into a major cinematic release.

While specific X-Men characters have yet to be confirmed for this new film, Deadpool has a history of teaming up with various members of the X-Men in past movies, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit. This new project continues the trend of exploring diverse team dynamics and adventures for the Merc With a Mouth.
