Beyond Deadpool: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's Next Cinematic Adventure

The ongoing collaboration between notable actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman continues to spark excitement among fans. Despite their previous works in the superhero genre, their upcoming project will take a different direction, steering clear of any connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This shift presents a new opportunity for the duo to explore fresh ideas and narratives beyond their established identities as iconic characters.

Reynolds recently shared insights about his current endeavors in a podcast episode. He mentioned, in relation to his latest screenplay, that he is penning a new film intended for himself, Jackman, and director Shawn Levy. Importantly, this film is not part of the Marvel franchise. Although specifics about the project remain scarce, it hints that the script is still in its developmental phase. This would be the fourth time Reynolds collaborates with Levy, following projects like Free Guy, The Adam Project, and the recent blockbuster Deadpool and Wolverine.

Moreover, this film would mark the third collaboration between Reynolds and Jackman on screen, adding to their dynamic history that includes X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Deadpool and Wolverine, not counting Jackman’s brief vocal contribution to Free Guy. Looking ahead, Reynolds is set to appear in Mayday, an Apple film currently awaiting a release date. Directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, this action-adventure flick also features Kenneth Branagh and Maria Bakalova from Borat 2.

In the meantime, Deadpool and Wolverine maintains popularity several months after its debut, with audiences meticulously exploring the home release for unseen details, such as a clever reference to the 2003 film Master and Commander visible in The Void. While Reynolds and Jackman have not confirmed any upcoming Marvel appearances, speculation suggests their potential return could align with the forthcoming Avengers films set for 2026 and 2027. Fans are eager to uncover the mysteries, including the emotional moments portrayed by characters like Thor.
