Ryan Reynolds is getting the band back together. After the success of Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy plan to work together on a new non-Marvel movie.
What did Ryan Reynolds say about his new non-Marvel movie?
While appearing on Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast, Reynolds discussed his plans for the future. Reynolds will spend the next year writing a non-Marvel movie that will team him up again with Jackman and Levy.
“I’m spending the year writing,” Reynolds said during the podcast. “I’m writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel.”
Plot details on Reynolds’ new movie remain under wraps. It’s also unknown if the film has been greenlit. Given the box office haul of Deadpool & Wolverine, the probability of a studio funding Reynolds’ project is high.
This past summer, Reynolds and Jackman starred in their first MCU movie, Deadpool & Wolverine. Directed by Levy, Deadpool & Wolverine saw Reynolds and Jackman reprise their iconic roles of Wade Wilson/Deadpool and Logan/Wolverine, respectively. The superhero movie quickly became a smash hit, and the film’s $1.33 billion worldwide haul is the second-highest earning of 2024.
Reynolds and Levy continue to churn out popular hits. Deadpool & Wolverine marked their third collaboration as a tandem. In 2021, Reynolds and Levy joined forces for Free Guy, an action comedy that became a surprise hit for 20th Century Studios. A sequel is in development.
Reynolds and Levy worked together for the second time on 2022’s The Adam Project, a sci-fi adventure for Netflix. The Adam Project is the third most popular English-language movie on Netflix.
It’s unknown if Reynolds or Jackman will work together on anything before this new movie. There are rumors that the duo could serve as hosts for the 2025 Oscars.
