Ryan Reynolds And Hugh Jackman Reunite With Director Shawn Levy For A New Non-Marvel Project

Marvel’s Dynamic Duo Teams Up Again For A Fresh Cinematic Adventure Outside The MCU

 


Marvel fans have another reason to celebrate, but this time, it’s not another superhero sequel or MCU installment. Following the phenomenal box-office success of Deadpool & Wolverine, the powerhouse trio of Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy are set to join forces again. However, this time, they’ll be exploring uncharted territory outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This upcoming project, freshly confirmed by Reynolds himself, promises a new creative direction that will allow the team to flex their talents beyond the world of mutants and mercenaries.

On an upcoming episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Reynolds dropped an exciting hint that he has taken on a new role as the film's screenwriter. “I’m spending the year writing… I’m writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel,” Reynolds shared. While details remain under wraps, the revelation that Reynolds is already writing the screenplay signals that the project is well on its way to pre-production. The absence of any connection to Marvel opens the door for a broad range of genres and themes that fans have yet to see from this trio.

This non-Marvel film will mark the fourth collaboration between Reynolds and Levy, who have previously struck box office gold together in films like Free Guy and The Adam Project. Their track record indicates a knack for blending action, humor, and heartfelt moments in ways that resonate widely with audiences. Hugh Jackman, on the other hand, will be teaming up with Levy for the third time. The duo first worked together over a decade ago on the fan-favorite sci-fi flick Real Steel in 2011, a project that still garners sequel discussions between Jackman and Levy. Together, the trio’s past projects have drawn audiences not only with action-packed storytelling but also with fresh takes on friendship, loyalty, and adventure.

Beyond the inherent excitement surrounding this new project, Reynolds’ writing is a notable development. His writing skills, known for their wit and humor, have been central to shaping the Deadpool character and will undoubtedly shape this new film’s tone. Although Reynolds didn’t reveal anything about the genre or the plot, his mention of spending a full year on the screenplay suggests a serious commitment to crafting something original and impactful. Meanwhile, Shawn Levy’s directorial input will likely elevate the story with his unique style, which blends fast-paced storytelling with a lighthearted yet poignant touch.

With no information yet on a distributor, it’s still unclear which studio will back this project or whether it will debut on a streaming platform or go for a theatrical release. However, given the trio's consistent blockbuster appeal, it’s likely that studios will eagerly bid for the chance to distribute the film. The theatrical box-office success of Deadpool & Wolverine could also serve as a key selling point, especially if Disney’s awards campaign results in recognition from prestigious awards bodies.

The Deadpool & Wolverine film itself continues to generate buzz, with Disney reportedly setting its sights on awards season. There are talks of a campaign targeting various awards, including technical categories and the comedy slots at the Golden Globes, which is a strategic move given the film’s box-office success and positive critical reception. This awards push not only speaks to the commercial success of Deadpool & Wolverine but also highlights the franchise's ability to be both critically acclaimed and beloved by fans.

As Reynolds, Jackman, and Levy embark on this new project, fans can look forward to an entirely fresh cinematic experience that will likely bring together the same chemistry, humor, and charisma that defined their Marvel outings. Whether it’s an action-packed spectacle, a heartfelt drama, or even a comedy, the synergy between Reynolds and Jackman, under Levy’s direction, is sure to produce a memorable film. Keep an eye out for more details as the project develops—this reunion promises to be one of the most anticipated non-Marvel films in recent years.

U.S. House Of Representatives Narrowly Passes DJI Drone Ban Bill

The Countering CCP Drone Act Moves To The Senate, Sparking Debate Over National Security And Economic Impact   This past week, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed the Countering CCP Drone Act, a bill aimed at banning DJI drones from the United States. Introduced by Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), this legislation has generated significant discussion and concern among drone enthusiasts, industry professionals, and national security experts. The bill's journey towards becoming law is intricate, requiring multiple steps. Initially introduced in April, the bill first needed approval from the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) and the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC).
