However, he&#8217;d later bounce back with 2016&#8217;s Deadpool and has become a billionaire thanks to a series of savvy business moves.<\/p>\n<p>Deadpool &amp; Wolverine was a record-breaking success in 2024, and Reynolds is expected to return as Wade Wilson in this December&#8217;s Avengers: Doomsday. However, his wife, Blake Lively, remains in\u00a0a legal battle with It Ends With Us filmmaker Justin Baldoni, which looms large over the actor&#8217;s other ventures, particularly after a series of text messages were recently made public.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/puck.news\/is-blake-lively-really-unhireable\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Puck<\/a>\u00a0has shared its assessment of the situation, including the potential impact this messy legal drama is having on the respective careers of Reynolds and Lively. In the former&#8217;s case, it&#8217;s said:<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Apple has been sitting on a finished Skydance movie, Mayday\u2014a comedic survival story starring Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh\u2014for more than a year. Sources say a release date will be announced soon. (It will go straight to streaming, likely in September.) Apple declined to comment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Reynolds has other projects on the runway: He\u2019s exec producer and a voice in Animal Friends from Warners and Legendary, which drops in late May, and he\u2019s in production on Eloise for Netflix.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Sources say Reynolds is also wisely focused on the next Deadpool movie, which will give him a chance to be seen as the public loves him most.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>It was last\u00a0May that we first learned that\u00a0Reynolds was in the early stages of writing a new\u00a0Deadpool\u00a0movie featuring the Merc with a Mouth and &#8220;three or four&#8221; X-Men characters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The idea is that Wade Wilson would be a supporting player in a project\u00a0separate from Jake Schreier&#8217;s\u00a0X-Men\u00a0reboot. At the time, it was said that Reynolds was currently working independently from the studio, meaning it hadn&#8217;t been officially greenlit. However, common sense said that another Deadpool movie would be a priority for Disney and Marvel Studios after the threequel&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>Social media scoopers have since claimed that Reynolds is developing an X-Force movie.\u00a0Deadpool\u00a0had a\u00a0memorable stint with the team during Rick Remender&#8217;s\u00a0X-Force\u00a0run. In that, the anti-hero was paired up with Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, and Fantomex. We also know that Reynolds was eager to develop an\u00a0X-Force\u00a0movie when the\u00a0X-Men\u00a0rights were still with 20th Century Fox.<\/p>\n<p>Puck is a reliable source, so this latest update points to another Deadpool movie, regardless of what form it takes, being next up for Reynolds after his MCU return in Avengers: Doomsday on December 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Green Lantern came close to derailing Ryan Reynolds&#8217; movie career.
