Ryan Reynolds confirms non-Marvel film in development with Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy

Ryan Reynolds announces plans for a non-Marvel film with Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy, promising a fresh project.

Actor Ryan Reynolds revealed plans for an upcoming non-Marvel film collaboration with Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy during an interview for the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, set to release later this week. "I'm spending the year writing," Reynolds shared, emphasizing the project's unique direction. "I’m writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel," he added, keeping plot details under wraps.

Following their successful team-ups on Deadpool & Wolverine, which generated $636 million domestically and became the highest-grossing R-rated film in history, anticipation for this new venture has surged. The actor’s announcement follows the trio’s previous hits, including Free Guy and The Adam Project, solidifying their reputation for blockbuster entertainment.

Deadpool & Wolverine has not only achieved massive commercial success but is also a contender in award circuits, with Disney pushing for Golden Globe recognition in comedy categories and aiming for nods in the Oscars' technical awards like sound and production design. Levy, who earned an Oscar nomination for producing Arrival and multiple Emmy nods for Stranger Things, joins Reynolds and Jackman in crafting what promises to be another engaging and potentially groundbreaking project.

Reynolds, now two-time Emmy winner for Welcome to Wrexham, continues building his versatile portfolio. With this untitled project underway, he hinted at a new creative path that could captivate audiences as effectively as his Marvel successes have.
