Ryan Reynolds hasn't officially pitched anything to Marvel yet, but sources indicate he's exploring early concepts for a potential Deadpool and X-Men crossover film.
According to THR, Reynolds envisions an ensemble project where Deadpool plays a supporting role alongside three or four other X-Men characters. The actor reportedly wants to showcase these characters innovatively, allowing them to shine in unconventional ways.
This would be a distinct project from Michael Lesslie's X-Men reboot, though it shares creative parallels with Deadpool & Wolverine's development. Reynolds famously nurtures ideas independently before presenting them to Marvel – Deadpool & Wolverine initially started as a modest road trip concept.
While rumors have circulated before about Reynolds developing a Deadpool ensemble film, these new details provide clearer insight into the Mercenary's potential future adventures.
The specific X-Men characters who might join Deadpool remain speculative. However, the franchise has precedent for mutant crossovers, having previously featured Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and Channing Tatum's Gambit.
