Ryan Reynolds Writing Deadpool X-Men Movie?

BBG News

It appears that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is steering back on course following some rough seas during Phases 4 and 5, which saw releases like “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels” disappoint fans. However, the introduction of “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” reenergized the MCU after their successful summer 2024 premiere. Now, it’s been announced that Ryan Reynolds is considering a new “Deadpool” film, one that would feature more X-Men characters beyond just Colossus (Stefan Kapičić) and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand).

Based on a recent article from The Hollywood Reporter (May 2), it’s been revealed that Ryan Reynolds is exploring concepts for an alliance between three or four X-Men characters and Deadpool, the burrito-loving anti-hero. It’s worth mentioning that as of now, Reynolds hasn’t presented these fresh ideas to Marvel Studios.

It’s not unexpected that Reynolds has been working on reviving his character, the red-suited, profanity-loving Mutant, given the massive success of Deadpool and Wolverine together on the big screen. The collaboration between Reynolds and Hugh Jackman generated over $1.33 billion at the global box office, managing to satisfy both critics and audiences alike. Consequently, this Marvel Cinematic Universe entry has a “Certified Fresh” rating of 78% on the Tomatometer, while also boasting an even more remarkable “Verified Hot” rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Popcornmeter.

As a result, this entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has a “Certified Fresh” rating of 78% on the Tomatometer and an even more impressive “Verified Hot” rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Popcornmeter.

It’s hardly shocking that Reynolds is experimenting with a way to reintroduce his red-suited, curse-filled Mutant character, given the incredible success of Deadpool and Wolverine on the big screen. The duo of Reynolds and Hugh Jackman grossed over $1.33 billion at the global box office while receiving positive feedback from both critics and audiences. This has led to a “Certified Fresh” rating of 78% on the Tomatometer for this Marvel Cinematic Universe entry, as well as an even more impressive “Verified Hot” rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Popcornmeter.

Ryan Reynolds Already Has Plenty of Beloved X-Men to Choose From

Ryan Reynolds hinted at Deadpool’s return in April, and with the X-Men now integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he has a wealth of Marvel Mutants to consider while drafting his plans. The recent news about the cast of Avengers: Doomsday means that several actors are already potential candidates for Reynolds’ choice in assembling his Deadpool/X-Men ensemble.

In simpler terms, the actors Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Channing Tatum (Gambit), James Marsden (Cyclops), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), and Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler) are now confirmed for the film titled “Doomsday”. Fans are hopeful that Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Dafne Keen as X-23, given their previous roles in Deadpool & Wolverine, might also join. Additionally, if the project materializes, it’s thought that Wesley Snipes’ Blade and Jennifer Garner’s Elektra could be great additions, although they haven’t been seen since they were presumably freed from The Void.

Box Office: Highest-Grossing MCU Films (Worldwide)

  1. Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion)
  2. Avengers: Infinity War ($2 billion)
  3. Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.9 billion)
  4. The Avengers ($1.5 billion)
  5. Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.4 billion)
  6. Deadpool & Wolverine ($1.3 billion)

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! The long-awaited team-up of Deadpool and the X-Men might still be in the works, but the release of Marvel’s Thunderbolts* is more than enough to keep us engaged right now. This cinematic marvel, a superior take on DC’s Suicide Squad, has already raked in an impressive $11.5 million during its Thursday previews and is expected to bring in another $20 million on its opening day (Friday, May 2).

Thunderbolts* is not only winning over fans but also critics! With a “Verified Hot” 95% rating on the Popcornmeter based on over 1,000 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and an impressive “Certified Fresh” 88% Tomatometer score, this superhero movie is certainly making waves.
