Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, And Shawn Levy Reunite For New Film

Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy Reunite for New Film – But It’s Not Deadpool & Wolverine 2…

Fans of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s iconic on-screen partnership in Deadpool & Wolverine may be in for a surprise. After the incredible success of Deadpool & Wolverine, which raked in over $1.3 billion globally, one might expect a sequel announcement. But as it turns out, Reynolds, Jackman, and director Shawn Levy are reuniting for an entirely different project—outside of the Marvel universe, and possibly even outside Disney’s reach.

According to Reynolds, this upcoming project marks their third collaboration, following Free Guy and The Adam Project. Despite intense speculation around a Deadpool & Wolverine sequel, Reynolds confirmed on a recent episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast that this new film has no Marvel ties. “I’m spending the year writing,” Reynolds said, emphasizing his dedication to creating an original storyline for himself, Jackman, and Levy.

Ryan Reynolds Reveals Details About the New Project

During the podcast, Reynolds shared his excitement for the project, mentioning that he’s dedicating a full year to writing the script. Reynolds held back on revealing plot details, but hinted at a “fresh and unexpected” concept that has fans intrigued. Variety noted that while details remain tightly under wraps, Reynolds’ enthusiasm suggests something highly anticipated.

“I’m writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman], and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel,” Reynolds said. Although there’s no word yet on which studio will handle the project, Reynolds’ and Levy’s past work with 20th Century Studios could imply potential involvement from Disney, though it has yet to be confirmed.

A Non-Marvel Project – What Fans Can Expect

This new project is the latest collaboration for Reynolds and Levy, who previously worked together on Free Guy, a unique action-comedy that became a significant hit under Disney’s 20th Century Studios banner, and The Adam Project, a Netflix original. Fans had been speculating about a Deadpool & Wolverine sequel following the first film’s success, but for now, they’ll have to wait for more Wolverine-Deadpool action.

Still, this project is likely to become one of Hollywood’s most anticipated films. Reynolds and Jackman’s pairing has been a fan favorite, and Levy’s direction has proved to be a strong match for their chemistry.

Possible Future for Deadpool & Wolverine

While this upcoming film isn’t a direct sequel, it doesn’t necessarily mean Deadpool & Wolverine 2 is off the table. Given the characters’ popularity and recent box office success, Marvel and Disney may still pursue a sequel, although it could be several years away.

In the meantime, Reynolds and Jackman are focused on exploring this non-Marvel territory, which Variety suggests could even extend beyond Disney’s control. Reynolds’ new venture with Levy will be closely watched by fans and industry insiders alike for clues about what lies beyond the superhero genre for these actors.

Previous Collaborations and Industry Impact

Reynolds and Levy’s collaborations with Disney have already proven fruitful. Free Guy showcased Levy’s skill in blending comedy and action, a mix that suits both Reynolds and Jackman. Their follow-up project, The Adam Project, tapped into nostalgia and sci-fi, offering audiences a unique mix of adventure and heart, which they’ll likely continue in their next film.

This shift also signals a broader trend in Hollywood, where top actors and directors are branching out from franchises to explore new creative opportunities. Reynolds, in particular, has shown a strong preference for pushing creative boundaries, from producing and acting to writing and developing original stories.

Next Steps and Release Timeline

With Reynolds spending a year writing the script, filming for this new project will likely begin no sooner than late 2025 or early 2026. This schedule suggests any potential Deadpool & Wolverine 2 won’t see the light of day until the end of the decade, possibly aligning with a rumored 2028 release window.

For fans eager to stay informed, Variety remains a key source for updates on Reynolds’ projects and ongoing film industry news. Marvel enthusiasts can also stay updated by following Marvel and Variety for the latest news on upcoming releases and potential sequels.

What’s Next for Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy?

While it’s not the Deadpool & Wolverine sequel that fans may have hoped for, this new project presents a unique creative opportunity. As Reynolds explores fresh ideas with his longtime collaborators, this venture will add another layer to his evolving filmography. And who knows—perhaps this non-Marvel film will provide just as much excitement as a superhero crossover.
