Ryan Reynolds, renowned for his role as Deadpool, recently shared on The Box Office Podcast that he pitched an R-rated Star Wars project to Disney. While it remains uncertain if this bold vision will come to fruition, Reynolds expressed enthusiasm about exploring a mature-rated Star Wars narrative. He emphasized that his concept of an R-rating isn't about being vulgar but rather using it as a "Trojan Horse for emotion," allowing for deeper and more engaging storytelling.

Reynolds, who has enjoyed considerable success with R-rated films like Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and the record-breaking Deadpool & Wolverine, suggested that an R-rated Star Wars project could utilize lesser-known characters. He believes that while the extensive content on Disney+ might dilute the scarcity of Star Wars projects, surprising fans with innovative storytelling could still be achieved.

However, Reynolds made it clear that he does not envision himself acting in such a project, stating, "I’m not saying I would want to be in it; that would be a bad fit." Instead, he is interested in contributing behind the scenes as a producer or writer, leveraging his creative skills to enhance the Star Wars universe.
