Ryan Reynolds to Reunite With Hugh Jackman After Deadpool & Wolverine
has revealed in a recent interview that he is working on a script for a non-Marvel to reunite with Deadpool & Wolverine co-star and director. Their previous collaboration, the third entry in Reynolds’ Deadpool movies, debuted in US theaters on July 26, 2024, and went on to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, reportedly earning around $1.338 billion at the global box office against a $200 million production budget.
Recently, in a Variety Awards Circuit Podcast episode, Reynolds disclosed that he would spend the year writing a script for a movie that could reunite him with Jackman and Levy. This new film will not be a Marvel project. “I’m spending the year writing,” Reynolds stated. “I’m writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel.”
It’s unclear what type of movie this will be, as Reynolds reportedly didn’t reveal much about the plot. Notably, besides Deadpool & Wolverine, Levy has worked with Reynolds on 2021’s Free Guy and 2022’s The Adam Project.
The first one came out in theaters and made $331.5 million at the box office globally against a $100–125 million production budget. The second one became available on Netflix following a limited one-night-only theatrical release. Per Samba TV, three million households in the US watched The Adam Project in its opening weekend.
Levy has also worked with Jackson before Deadpool & Wolverine. Their previous joint venture was the 2011 sci-fi sports feature Real Steel. Made on a $110 million production budget, the movie earned $300 million worldwide.
It’s also unknown for which studio Reynolds intends to make this film. His recent projects had a wide range of distributors. Disney was the distributor for Deadpool & Wolverine, 2024’s IF was a Paramount project, and 2022’s Spirited debuted on Apple TV+.
