Ryan Reynolds Pens Non-Marvel Film for Hugh Jackman
Renowned actor Ryan Reynolds has exciting news as he announces he’s in the process of crafting a brand-new film specifically for Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy, which intriguingly is not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This development has fans buzzing with anticipation about what this collaboration could entail.
The dynamic trio of Deadpool and Wolverine—Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy—have proven themselves to be an unstoppable creative force in the film industry. Their previous collaboration sparked a significant impact, and it seems inevitable that they will reunite for another project. Recent buzz suggests that this reunion could happen sooner than anticipated, piquing the interest of fans and industry insiders alike.
In a recent episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Reynolds shared his plans for the coming year, stating he would be “writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel.” While he kept details about the project under wraps, his palpable enthusiasm suggested that fans might expect something innovative and refreshing.
Despite this upcoming project steering clear of the Marvel brand, speculation continues to swirl regarding the potential return of Reynolds and Jackman to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for future Avengers films. Given the remarkable success of Deadpool & Wolverine, which has become one of Marvel’s most significant hits in recent years, it would not be surprising if this duo made another appearance to thrill audiences once more.
Set six years after the dramatic events of the last installment, Deadpool & Wolverine follows Wade Wilson (played by Reynolds) as he attempts to navigate a quieter life, having left his days as the iconic Deadpool behind. However, when an existential threat looms over his homeworld, he is compelled to don the suit once again, seeking the help of a hesitant Wolverine (Jackman). The film boasts a star-studded cast, featuring talents such as Matthew Macfadyen, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Brianna Hildebrand, Shioli Kutsuna, Rob Delany, Stefan Kapičić, among others, ensuring a captivating experience for viewers.
In a glowing review, our own Chris Bumbray expressed his enthusiasm for Deadpool & Wolverine, emphasizing its potential to be a major crowd-pleaser. He likened the experience to attending a concert where the audience yearns for their favorite hits. “After a rough run of movies, with many saying their Phase 5 has been disastrous, this feels like an everything but the kitchen-sink attempt by the company to win back those fans who feel alienated by the new direction the company seemed to be heading in. With this, you have a rock ‘em, sock ‘em thrill ride that delivers fans exactly the movie they wanted to see, with nary a message to be found amidst all the charred, sliced and diced corpses our heroes leave in their wake. It’s glorious fun.” The film is currently available for purchase on 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray/DVD, and it will make its way to Disney+ on November 12th.
