Ryan Reynolds Eyes Early Development of Deadpool and X-Men Film

Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the early stages of developing a new film that would bring together Deadpool and several X-Men characters. According to THR, Reynolds envisions this as an ensemble piece where Deadpool shares the spotlight, allowing other X-Men to take center stage and be utilized in innovative ways. This project is distinct from another X-Men movie being crafted by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie.

This isn't the first time rumors of a Deadpool ensemble movie have surfaced, but it provides new insights into potential storylines.

While the specific X-Men characters to join Deadpool remain undisclosed, he has previously collaborated with various team members and adversaries in his films, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit.
