As development continues on his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Ryan Reynolds recalls details of a scrapped Deadpool Christmas movie. Reynolds has scored critical acclaim for his performance as the quick-witted Merc with a Mouth, even garnering a Golden Globe Award nomination for his performance in the original Deadpool movie. After initially devising a variety of plans for the character’s future, the Deadpool movies were left in limbo following Disney acquisition of Fox, only for fans of the franchise to get excited as Reynolds eventually confirmed he was working with Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige to bring the character into the MCU.
In a recent interview with The Big Issue, Ryan Reynolds opened up about his tenure in the Deadpool franchise. The actor/co-writer/producer reveals he once co-wrote a Deadpool Christmas movie with original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick helping to pen the script, only for the Disney-Fox merger to see it scrapped. See what Reynolds shared below:
Four years ago [‘Deadpool’ co-writers] Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick and I wrote a Christmas movie starring Deadpool. But it got lost in the shuffle of Disney acquiring Fox, and it never got made. Maybe one day we’ll get to make that movie. It’s not a musical, but it’s a full Deadpool Christmas movie. So one day.
