What was Ryan Reynolds’ full vision for a Deadpool holiday film?

.

Written back in 2018, a Deadpool Christmas film starring Ryan Reynolds was shelved after Disney acquired 21st Century Fox. Reynolds has now rekindled hopes that the abandoned holiday project would eventually be completed. Reynolds revealed that a few years back, he co-wrote a finished story for a Deadpool Christmas movie. However, it appears that the project was abandoned when Disney acquired Fox, bringing the Deadpool franchise into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

What did Ryan Reynolds really want to accomplish with a holiday Deadpool movie?

Reynolds told The Big Issue that the never-made Deadpool Christmas movie would have been a full-length, non-musical adventure with the wise-cracking antihero.

Reynolds said to The Big Issue, “I wrote a Christmas movie starring Deadpool with Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick four years ago.” “But it never got made because it got lost in the chaos of Disney buying Fox.”

Although there aren’t many story details available, Deadpool’s irreverent comedy tone probably would have worked well for brєaking Christmas clichés. Regretfully, the script was never approved for production. Ryan Reynolds remained mum on the specific reasons behind the Deadpool Christmas movie’s cancellation in the wake of Disney acquiring Fox’s film business in 2019.

Executives may have decided to suspend the holiday project because of the ambiguity surrounding Deadpool’s R-rated status amid Disney’s merger. Alternatively, the screenplay was incompatible with Marvel Studios’ future plans. of any case, it appears that the finished script did not make it through Disney’s change of leadership.

Could we see a return of the Deadpool Christmas idea in the future?

Reynolds is hopeful that the idea for a Deadpool holiday movie could still progress in the future, even though the current script isn’t currently being created.

Reynolds hinted, “Maybe we’ll get to make that movie one day.” “It’s a full-length Deadpool Christmas movie; it’s not a musical.”

Given that Deadpool 3, which will bring Wolverine into the MCU, is soon to be released, Marvel Studios might be more willing to fund innovative Deadpool projects. Maybe there’s still hope for a Christmas caper comeback.
