by Elizabeth Aubrey · NMERyan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are teaming up for another film together.
After the success of their recent film Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds confirmed to Variety that he and Jackman were teaming up again in a new project that is unrelated to Marvel.
Speaking to the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Reynolds confirmed his plans saying: “I’m spending the year writing. I’m writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel.”
The actor didn’t reveal any plot details at this stage, but has said he will be working on the project for the next year.
The project will also mark Reynolds third project with Levy following Deadpool 3, Free Guy and The Adam Project.
Deadpool & Wolverine has been a huge success in cinemas, with Reynolds and Blake Lively recently becoming the first married couple to top the US box office since Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.

With Deadpool & Wolverine having a top spot, and Lively’s It Ends With Us earning a second, it marks the first time the feat has been achieved since Die Hard 2 and Ghost took up the top two spots in 1990.
In a three-star review of Deadpool & Wolverine, NME wrote: “Despite the A-list distractions (no spoilers here), Deadpool & Wolverine is really all about Reynolds and Jackman. In fact, it’s really all about Reynolds – with Jackman doing a heroic job of playing the surly straight man trying to keep up with Reynolds’ sweary killer clown. The first two Deadpool films were funny and violent and original, but this one shows Marvel’s most gloriously inappropriate superhero at his very best and worst.”
Recently, Reynolds also opened up about why he had to cut Rob McElhenney’s cameo from Deadpool & Wolverine.
