Ryan Reynolds pitched a c𝔯azy independent Deadpool 3 movie.

Deadpool 3 rejected two suggestions, one of which was to turn the movie into an independent production, according to Ryan Reynolds.

In 2024, Deadpool 3 (officially titled Deadpool and Wolverine) will be the only cinematic movie from the MCU. Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Feige put forth a lot of effort to write a compelling narrative for the movie.

Feige and Reynolds discussed the film’s early pitch sessions in Empire’s latest cover story. One concept that drew inspiration from Rashomon by Akira Kurosawa was shot down. Deadpool and Wolverine would have set out on an adventure that was told from three points of view in the movie. Reynolds perceived the proposal as a means of producing a big-budget film in a very constrained manner.

Feige rejected it, though. The foul-mouthed, R-rated superhero was someone he wasn’t sure how to fit into his MCU. Feige admitted, “The t𝔯uth is, I wasn’t even sure how to incorporate Deadpool yet.” “I thought it needed to be more than just playing the hits when it came to bringing mutants and the X-Men into [the MCU].” In actuality, though, Ryan is a creative machine. He may have pitched that to me, but he also presented me with twenty-five other ideas and views.

Making Deadpool 3 an independent movie was another thought. This was obviously shot down as well.

Reynolds told the site, “I went back to the drawing board and I wrote up about eighteen different treatments.” “I pitched bigger movies and things in between, and some of them almost like a Sundance film, with a budget of less than $10 million, sort of using the IP in a way that they hadn’t used before.”

The right narrative took a while to discover. However, executive producer Wendy Jacobson disclosed that after Hugh Jackman joined the cast, things moved quickly.

What is Deadpool 3 about?

Deadpool 3 will be directed by Shawn Levy. His contributions to the Stranger Things TV series are well-known. Additionally, he has already collaborated with Reynolds and Jackman.

Regarding the former, in 2011 Levy oversaw him in Real Steel. After that, in 2021 and 2022, he directed Reynolds in The Adam Project and Free Guy, respectively.After the executives settled on a plot, Levy collaborated on the Deadpool 3 script alongside Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

Deadpool (Reynolds), Wolverine (Jackman), and the TVA (Time Variance Authority) will team up in the movie. He sets off on a quest that will have an impact on the whole MCU chronology.

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds will collaborate on the MCU movie. From 2000 to 2017, Jackman portrayed Wolverine in Fox’s X-Men universe. But in 2017’s Logan, his character passed away. The figure appears to have an alternate reality counterpart in Deadpool 3.

Matthew Macfadyen and Emma Corrin both had important parts in the movie. Corrin portrays the antagonist of the movie, Cassandra Nova. Macfadyen portrays TVA agent Gambit.

Leslie Uggams, Rσb Delaney, Karan Soni, and Morena Baccarin are the main cast members that are back from the previous two Deadpool movies. In addition, Jennifer Garner, who co-starred with Reynolds in Shawn Levy’s The Adam Project, reprises her Elektra role. She previously starred in her own solo film and the 2003 blockbuster Daredevil.
