Ryan Reynolds is already working on MCU's best movies. Deadpool & Wolverine ended its worldwide box office run with $1.3 billion (via Box Office Mojo).

That was more than enough to make Deadpool & Wolverine the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. The film's success helped the MCU during a time of need, as the franchise has dealt with mixed results throughout the Multiverse Saga. A MCU movies.

Ryan Reynolds Is Writing A New Deadpool Movie

Wade Wilson Is Way Too Popular To Be Retired Just Yet

After Deadpool & Wolverine, I thought that a sequel would not take long to be announced. However, Marvel Studios has yet to reveal its official plans for Reynolds' Deadpool and Jackman's Wolverine. Both actors were suspiciously absent from the Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement. Adding to that, Reynolds has made it known in interviews that he does not want to star in a Deadpool movie, but instead hopes the character becomes a ing player in future MCU entries.

Now, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot, which is being penned by The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' Michael Lesslie.

The New Deadpool Movie Could Bring Back Fox’s Canceled X-Force Plans

The Team Movie Went Through Several Iterations Before Being Scrapped

Given their long-time friendship and how successful Deadpool & Wolverine was for Marvel, I believe the MCU movie Reynolds is writing will likely feature Jackman's Wolverine. That would still leave a couple of roles for other X-Men characters, and I think I know where Reynolds could be going with the project. In 2018, Deadpool 2 introduced the franchise's version of the X-Force, which is a deadlier and more bloodthirsty version of the X-Men. I believe the MCU could be resurrecting the team.

Before Marvel got the rights to the X-Men back when Disney bought Fox, there were plans for an X-Force movie. The project had gone through multiple iterations, with Reynolds even working on the film's script at one point. In its final version, the X-Force movie would have been written and directed by Drew Goddard, the creator of Netflix's Daredevil. X-Force is the perfect team for Reynolds' Deadpool, and its darker tone fits Jackman's Wolverine well. Besides, Deadpool franchise characters could return for it.

Why An X-Force Movie Is Better Than Deadpool 4

Ryan Reynolds Has Made His Wishes For Deadpool's Future Clear

I absolutely loved Josh Brolin's Cable and Zazie Beetz's Domino in Deadpool 2. It would be tragic if the characters were to remain contained to that one movie when they have so much potential for more. For instance, Marvel's X-Men '97 recently showed how Cable could be a key part of the MCU's X-Men reboot if done right. With Reynolds wanting Deadpool to play a ing role moving forward, an X-Force movie could use him in the best possible way.

The most exciting part of Reynolds' Deadpool is how well he bounces off other Marvel characters. Deadpool & Wolverine showcased that not only through Jackman's Wolverine, but also multiverse players like Chris Evans' Johnny Storm, Wesley Snipes' Blade, and more. In an X-Force movie, Deadpool would be able to thrive and still have the same kind of scene-stealing R-rated antics that fans have grown used to seeing from him. I believe the resurrection of the X-Force project is the ideal way to keep Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool at the top of his game.
