Ryan Reynolds Writing Non-Marvel Project to Reunite With Hugh Jackman and Director Shawn Levy After ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

As a seasoned cinema enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of superhero films and the remarkable careers of Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy, I must say that this upcoming collaboration is nothing short of electrifying! The success of “Deadpool & Wolverine” has already set the bar high, but the prospect of these three powerhouses joining forces once more on an unrelated project promises a fresh, unexpected twist.


As a die-hard cinephile, I’m beyond thrilled to share some exciting news! Following the phenomenal success of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” it seems that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are joining forces once more, this time in a movie separate from the Marvel universe. In a recent interview for the EbMaster Awards Circuit Podcast, set to be released later this week, Reynolds himself revealed his plans for this upcoming project, which will see him collaborating with co-star Jackman and director Shawn Levy. I can hardly wait!

During the podcast, Reynolds shared that he’s dedicating this whole year to writing. Specifically, he’s penning a script for himself, Jackman, and Levy to work on – a project that isn’t related to Marvel.

Despite the actor remaining tight-lipped about specifics, his obvious excitement suggested a new and unforeseen venture he’ll be tackling for the next year. Whether it’s a project that’s received approval from a studio isn’t clear yet. However, considering the massive success of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” this upcoming movie is likely to generate immense anticipation among film enthusiasts in Hollywood.

In their third joint endeavor, Reynolds will be teaming up with Levy once more, following the high-energy “Deadpool 3.” Prior to this, they successfully collaborated on the 2021 action comedy hit “Free Guy” and the intriguing sci-fi adventure “The Adam Project.” Their history of producing box office hits has cultivated a potent creative synergy, with Levy eliciting Reynolds’ humorous flair and captivating performances.

In my perspective, the numbers themselves tell a powerful story about its success. The duo of “Deadpool & Wolverine” has transformed into a colossal box office titan, amassing an astonishing $636 million domestically and solidifying its position as the 12th highest-grossing film in history. It now stands just behind Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” and ahead of Warner Bros.’ summer hit “Barbie.” Moreover, it has surpassed the 2019 thriller “Joker” to become the highest-grossing R-rated film ever. And among Disney’s mighty Marvel Cinematic Universe titans, “Deadpool 3” now claims the seventh spot, having recently overtaken “Iron Man 3” globally.

Disney is aiming to secure awards recognition for their blockbuster film during the award season, specifically targeting nominations in the comedy category at the Golden Globes and the new categories focusing on cinematic and box office achievements. This strategic move emphasizes the movie’s impressive financial performance. For a film to be eligible, it must have grossed over $150 million worldwide, with at least $100 million coming from U.S. sales, or it should meet comparable streaming viewership thresholds.

The movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” might catch Oscar’s eye too, as it aims to secure recognition in technical categories such as set design, sound, and visual effects. Its campaign could potentially surpass the achievements of the 2016 “Deadpool,” which garnered nominations for Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy) at the Golden Globes, and Ryan Reynolds for Best Actor, in addition to recognition from prestigious industry guilds like the Directors Guild of America, Writers Guild of America, and Producers Guild of America.

Following his second successive Primetime Emmy victory for the widely appreciated docuseries “Welcome to Wrexham,” Reynolds is skillfully weaving a diverse professional path, seamlessly blending box office sensations with applauded accolades. In a similar vein, Jackman earned his first Oscar nomination and initial Golden Globe win for his musical portrayal of Jean Valjean in “Les Misérables.” Simultaneously, Levy secured his first Oscar nomination as a producer on Denis Villeneuve’s 2016 sci-fi thriller “Arrival” and has accumulated four Emmy nominations for his work on the popular Netflix series “Stranger Things.

With Reynolds still working on the script, and Levy and Jackman signed up for it, this unnamed production is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
