Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the early stages of developing a new film that would bring Deadpool together with the X-Men, but with a unique twist. According to THR, Reynolds envisions this as an ensemble movie where Deadpool shares the spotlight with three or four other X-Men characters. Interestingly, Reynolds wants these characters to take center stage and be "used in unexpected ways," rather than having Deadpool as the main focus.

This project is distinct from the X-Men movie being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie. Reynolds is known for nurturing his ideas independently before presenting them to Marvel, a process similar to what he did with Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially was conceived as a low-budget road trip movie.

While the specific X-Men characters that might join Deadpool in this new venture remain undisclosed, Deadpool has previously collaborated with several X-Men members and their adversaries in his films, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit.
