Ryan Reynolds exploring ideas for a Deadpool/X-Men movie

Deadpool & Wolverine has been Marvel’s biggest hit in recent years, so it’s no surprise the studio is eager to bring those characters back. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Reynolds is actively developing ideas for a new Deadpool film that would feature several X-Men characters.

The potential project would be an ensemble with three or four X-Men characters, but Deadpool may only be a supporting player in the movie. The report states that it’s still very early days and Reynolds hasn’t yet pitched it to the studio. The actor is also known for going through a lot of concepts before he lands on one he likes. Deadpool & Wolverine went through many iterations before it became the billion-dollar blockbuster that revitalized the Marvel Cinematic Universe (at least temporarily).

There have also been rumblings that Deadpool (and Wolverine) could appear in Avengers: Secret Wars. Given that just about every other Marvel character will be putting in an appearance, that’s probably a safe bet. However, Reynolds has said that Deadpool can’t join the X-Men or the Avengers, because that would fulfill his ultimate goal and be the end of his story. “His ultimate dream is to be accepted and appreciated. But he can’t be accepted,” Reynolds told THR last year. “His coping mechanism of deflecting shame through humor works only when used to pave over his many inadequacies. If and when he does become an Avenger or X-Man, we’re at the end of his journey.“
