Ryan Reynolds Exploring Possible Deadpool And X-Men Crossover Movie?
Bang Showbiz
Ryan Reynolds is reportedly writing a treatment for a potential 'Deadpool' / 'X-Men' movie.
Ryan Reynolds is exploring a possible 'Deadpool' / 'X-Men' movie.
The 48-year-old actor is believed to be in the early stages of writing an ensemble movie featuring Deadpool and three or four 'X-Men' characters.
It is believed that Deadpool would be a minor character in the movie, giving the 'X-Men' characters more screentime.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, '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' film would be completely separate to the potential 'X-Men' movie that Michael Lesslie is writing for Marvel Studios.
Ryan has previously starred in 2016's 'Deadpool', 2018's 'Deadpool 2' and the 2024 movie 'Deadpool Wolverine' with Hugh Jackman.
Ryan previously revealed that he didn't expect to make another movie starring Deadpool, but he would return for a film with his alter-ego as a supporting character.
Speaking to Andrew Garfield for Variety's Actors on Actors, he said: 'I don't know. Honestly, my feeling is that the character works very well in two ways. One is scarcity and surprise. So, it had been six years since the last one, and part of the reason is that it swallows my whole life. I have four kids, and I don't ever want to be an absentee [dad].
'I kind of die inside when I see their faces and they do a sports thing or something and I missed it. I don't know what the future of Deadpool will be, but I do know that we made the movie to be a complete experience instead of a commercial for another one.
'Deadpool's a supporting character much more than he is the centre. We centre him sometimes because that's what they want but you can't centre him unless you take everything away from him. You have to create a situation where he's so much the underdog. I don't think I can do that again.
'If he comes back, it's gonna be in someone else's movie. Channing Tatum…I would happily be a fifth banana in his movie or anyone else."

Above them, ominous red clouds swirl as Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), the chilling villain from Stranger Things Season 4, looms threateningly overhead. — Stranger_Things (@Stranger_Things) The wait is finally over for Stranger Things fans as they have been waiting for years to watch the epic conclusion of the popular Netflix show. Season 4 premiered in the summer of 2022, and left viewers on quite the cliffhanger. Max (Sadie Sink) had been attacked by Vecna and left in a coma with some pretty gnarly injuries. While Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Steve (Joe Keery) and Robin (Maya Hawke) thought they shot and killed the big bad, after exiting the Creel house, his body was nowhere to be found. In the ending shot of the season, the group looked out over Hawkins as the Upside Down began to creep into more of the real world, hinting that things were about to get a lot worse.

Each volume releases at 5:00 p.m. PST. Stranger Things wrapped production on its fifth and final season, as confirmed in December 2024. Showrunners and creators Matt and Ross Duffer (known as The Duffer Brothers ) wrote in a Netflix blog (via The Hollywood Reporter), "Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but—as you'll soon see for yourselves—we are now hurtling toward our finale. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; Season 5 will be the last." Stranger Things Season 5 will release its eight episodes in three separate batches. The first will air on Wednesday, Nov. 26, the day before Thanksgiving. The second part comes Christmas Day, Thursday, Dec. 25.
