Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the "early stages" of developing a new film that would bring together Deadpool and several X-Men characters. According to THR, this project would not focus solely on Deadpool but would instead feature him sharing the spotlight with three or four other X-Men members. Reynolds envisions these characters taking center stage and being "used in unexpected ways," adding a fresh twist to the ensemble.

This proposed movie would be distinct from the X-Men film being developed by Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie. Reynolds is known for meticulously crafting his ideas before presenting them to Marvel, a process he also followed with the development of Deadpool & Wolverine, which initially was conceived as a low-budget road trip movie.

While the specific X-Men characters that might join Deadpool remain undisclosed, the Merc With a Mouth has a history of collaborating with various members of the X-Men in previous films, including Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even Channing Tatum's Gambit. This isn't the first time Reynolds has been linked to an ensemble project featuring Deadpool, but this latest development provides more insight into the potential direction of his future adventures.
