It turns out that Ryan Reynolds, the man who made “Deadpool” in a franchise of several billion dollars for Marvel, once launched a “Star Wars” film in Disney. Reynolds helped make the side superheroes R as popular as anything in all pop culture with the first “Deadpool” film in 2016, which allowed reinvention in the genre. It seems that he had a similar idea in mind with regard to a galaxy far, far.

In the latest episode of “The Box Office Podcast”, the host Scott Mendelson had a one hour seated conversation with Reynolds who was not explicitly linked to the promotion of any project. So, during the FreeForm cat, they were able to talk about fare of classified genre r, that is to say at that time that Reynolds revealed that he had really presented a “Star Wars” film classified R to Disney … However, perhaps not in the sense of what we could expect. Here is what he had to say about this:
“I launched in Disney, I said,” Why don’t we make a “Star Wars” property listed in R? This should not be manifest, a + characters, there is a wide range of characters you could use. And I don’t want to say r side to be vulgar, R-Rated as a Trojan horse for emotion.

Although the character of Deadpool is intrinsically vulgar and violent, it is not what “Star Wars” is. R-Rated does not mean one thing. Although the actor, the writer and the producer had not entered details for his argument, he clearly indicated that he had not just launched “Deadpool”, but that he is “Star Wars”. “The probability of Disney to consider him as a” Star Wars “, Reynolds” is probably the guy.
Ryan Reynolds didn’t even want to be in his own Star Wars film
Part of the reason why Reynolds’ height is so interesting is that Shawn Levy is currently making the film “Star Wars: Starfighter”, with Ryan Gosling Set to Star. Levy has already collaborated with Reynolds on several occasions, notably on “The Adam Project” by Netflix and, in particular, the Hit Smash from 2024 “Deadpool & Wolverine”. However, Levy does not make his foray into the franchise with Reynolds, and the director apparently does not use this classified land R. Even more interesting? Reynolds was not seen as the star of this proposed film. As he explained:

“I do not say that I would like to be there. It would be a bad adjustment. I would like to produce and write or go behind the scenes.
Whether or not they are classified R, Reynolds seems to exploit something here. It is a large galaxy which, for better or for worse, is sometimes designed to feel small, with the franchise “Star Wars” regularly bringing familiar characters in familiar places. The fact that it is a huge galaxy could allow the good creator to take a daring and creative swing like this.
Whether Disney has an interest or not? Reynolds did not indicate both cases, but he is currently busy developing a possible “X-Men” project for Marvel Studios at the moment. Beyond that, the deck “Star Wars” is entirely stacked, with “The Mandalorian and Grogu” which will arrive in theaters next year, followed by “Starfighter” in 2027. Daisy Ridley should also return as Rey in a film “Star Wars” without title, with several other big screen projects in development also.
