As of May 2025, Ryan Reynolds is actively developing a new ensemble film that brings together Deadpool and several X-Men characters. This project is in the early stages, with Reynolds working on various script treatments independently of Marvel Studios. The intention is to feature Deadpool in a supporting role, allowing the X-Men characters to take center stage in unexpected ways .(Wikipedia)
This initiative follows the success of Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), which not only became the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time but also served as a formal introduction of mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) . The film featured numerous cameos from the X-Men universe, including characters like Pyro, Sabretooth, and X-23, as well as appearances by actors such as Jennifer Garner as Elektra and Wesley Snipes as Blade .(The Hindu, The Times of India, Time)
While Reynolds is dedicating time to this ensemble project, he is also collaborating with Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy on a separate, non-Marvel film. Reynolds has mentioned spending the year writing this new movie, which marks their third collaboration following Free Guy and The Adam Project .(People.com, The Hindu)
As of now, specific plot details, casting decisions, and production timelines for the Deadpool-X-Men ensemble film remain under wraps. However, the project is generating significant anticipation, especially among fans eager to see more mutant-centric stories within the MCU.(Wikipedia, The Times of India)
