Free Guy Director Wants Ryan Reynolds & Hugh Jackman Bromance Movie
The Adam Project director Shawn Levy says he wants to direct a bromance movie with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Levy first directed Jackman in 2011's Real Steel, a futuristic romp that had Jackman controlling battling robots, while he first directed Reynolds in last year's surprise hit Free Guy, about a video game NPC fighting to save his digital world. Levy's latest with Reynolds, The Adam Project, a sci-fi time-travel/action-comedy, just debuted on Netflix, already generating positive buzz.
Reynolds and Jackman first teamed up in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which had Jackman returning to play Logan/Wolverine with Reynolds making his first appearance as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, albeit in a less-than-comics-accurate finale. The pair have been friends ever since and have created a playful media feud where they both constantly tease and prank one another, which ultimately ends up as a show of support for whatever project or endeavor they're working on. Recently, Jackman made a cameo appearance in Free Guy, which is the first time the pair have been back on screen together since X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
