Ryan Reynolds’ rumoured 'X-Force' film to feature Wolverine, Cable and Storm in ensemble cast

Rumours suggest Ryan Reynolds' project may feature Wolverine, Cable and Storm in a post-Deadpool & Wolverine lineup.

Ryan Reynolds is reportedly developing an X-Force-inspired project following the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. Sources suggest the film, which has not yet been officially greenlit by Marvel Studios, will be separate from the X-Men reboot currently being written by Michael Lesslie.

Reynolds is said to be working independently on the script, positioning Wade Wilson as part of a new team rather than leading another solo film. The project will reportedly include “three or four” X-Men characters. Notably, Josh Brolin’s Cable and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine are rumoured to return, alongside the unexpected inclusion of the MCU’s Storm.

The actor's past statements reinforce his desire to move Deadpool into more ensemble-driven stories. “I have some pitches and ideas, but none of them centre on Deadpool,” he said. “He is a great supporting or ensemble player. And I would always want Deadpool and Wolverine to be paired in some way.”

Reynolds previously campaigned for an X-Force film during the 20th Century Fox era, which was shelved following the Disney acquisition.

The original comic book X-Force team featured Deadpool, Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, and Fantomex under Rick Remender's run. 

Reynolds has dismissed further solo ventures, reaffirming that Deadpool should remain “an outsider” to groups like the Avengers or X-Men.
