Rumor: Ryan Reynolds' X-Men Movie to Have Cable, Wolverine & Storm
A new rumor suggests Ryan Reynolds is developing an X-Force-style Marvel movie featuring Deadpool, Wolverine, Cable, and Storm. The report follows updates about the future of mutant characters in the MCU and Reynolds' continued creative involvement after Deadpool & Wolverine. Though unconfirmed by Marvel Studios, insider leaks and Reynolds' script work have sparked speculation about a separate mutant-led team.
The Hollywood Reporter previously revealed that Ryan Reynolds confirmed he is writing a new X-Men team-up movie, described as 'X-Force-style,' where Deadpool would play a supporting role rather than the lead.
According to insider MyTimeToShineHello on X (formerly Twitter), 'In the X-Force-style movie Ryan Reynolds is writing, Josh Brolin's Cable and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine are on his team, along with Storm.'
Marvel has not yet confirmed an actress for the role of Storm. The film will remain separate from the official MCU X-Men reboot, which Michael Lesslie is writing to introduce the X-Men as a formal team within the Marvel timeline.
The report stated that Reynolds is independently developing the project without Marvel Studios' direct involvement. It remains in the early stages and will not serve as a solo Deadpool sequel to Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), which Reynolds previously confirmed as his final solo outing as the character.
It also noted that Reynolds has been 'exploring ideas' that spotlight classic X-Men characters while placing Deadpool in a supporting, comedic role. The project has no confirmed director or release date.
Deadpool's previous films included X-Men characters like Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Domino. Deadpool & Wolverine expanded this roster with appearances from Sabretooth, Pyro, and Gambit. In parallel, Avengers: Doomsday will feature legacy X-Men actors such as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Rebecca Romijn.
Marvel Studios has not confirmed the project or provided a production timeline or title. Reynolds has not released further details about casting or the storyline.
