Ryan Reynolds teams up with Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy for a new film project
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman fans can rejoice! Following the stellar success of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the charismatic duo is back with a brand new project.
Ryan Reynolds spills the beans on new collaboration
In a recent podcast interview, Ryan Reynolds revealed that he is working on an exciting new film script, teaming up once again with Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy. This time, however, the project is distinctly not part of the Marvel universe. Reynolds shared, “I’m spending the year writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman], and Shawn [Levy] to work on that is not Marvel.”
A dynamic trio returns to the big screen
This untitled project marks Reynolds’ third collaboration with the talented director Shawn Levy. The duo previously struck gold with the action-packed “Deadpool 3” and delighted audiences with the action-comedy Free Guy as well as the sci-fi adventure The Adam Project. Their successful partnership has cultivated a unique blend of comedic timing and compelling storytelling. It’s no wonder fans eagerly await what they will create next.
Box office juggernaut
The numbers paint a vivid picture of their remarkable achievements. “Deadpool & Wolverine” shattered records, amassing a stunning $636 million domestically, ranking as the 12th highest-grossing film ever. This financial triumph places it just behind Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” and above Warner Bros.’ summer hit “Barbie.” Impressively, it also surpassed the 2019 thriller “Joker” to become the highest-grossing R-rated film in history. Among the illustrious Disney Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Deadpool 3” claims the seventh spot, recently overtaking “Iron Man 3” globally.
Awards season buzz
Disney is positioning the blockbuster for awards season, eyeing Goldene Globes recognition as a comedy and attention in the newly introduced cinematic and box office achievement categories. To qualify, films must gross over $150 million globally, with at least $100 million in the U.S., or meet equivalent streaming metrics. There’s also potential Oscars buzz for technical achievements in areas like production design, sound, and visual effects.
Multitalented careers
Reynolds’ career continues to flourish, balancing massive commercial hits with critical acclaim. Fresh off his second consecutive Primetime Emmy win for “Welcome to Wrexham,” he showcases a versatile range. Jackman is no stranger to accolades either, having earned his first Academy Award nomination and Golden Globe win for his portrayal of Jean Valjean in “Les Misérables.” Meanwhile, Levy earned his first Oscar nomination as a producer on Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi thriller “Arrival” and has garnered multiple Emmy nods for his work on Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things.”
Anticipation builds for the untitled project
While plot details remain shrouded in mystery, Reynolds’ enthusiasm hints at something fresh and unexpected. This new film will likely be one to watch over the coming months. Despite the absence of an official green light from a studio, the trio’s chemistry and proven track record are generating substantial interest.
Reynolds, Jackman, and Levy share a unique creative synergy that often translates to box office gold. As they embark on their new cinematic adventure, fans and industry observers alike will be keen to see how this dynamic team pushes the boundaries of storytelling once again.
