Ryan Reynolds may have another Marvel project in the works. A new report suggests that the actor is developing an Alpha Flight project, which could also introduce a new Wolverine to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
A rumor from Cartier Films suggests that Reynolds is currently writing a new project. Marvel may either link this project to Deadpool 4 or develop it as a standalone film. The report also mentions that an actor is being considered for a new Wolverine role, which could debut in this project. However, neither Marvel Studios nor Reynolds have confirmed these details.
Alpha Flight could be Ryan Reynolds’ next big Marvel project
Alpha Flight is a Canadian superhero team created by writer and artist John Byrne. The group first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #120 in 1979. Byrne introduced the team as part of Wolverine’s backstory before Marvel gave them their own comic series in 1983. The original members included Guardian, Sasquatch, Shaman, Northstar, Aurora, and Snowbird. The team has a direct connection to Wolverine in Marvel Comics, as its members were originally sent to bring Logan back to Canada. This history makes Alpha Flight a natural fit for a project that introduces a new version of the character.
The rumor comes as Marvel prepares to bring the X-Men into the MCU. The same report mentions possible casting developments involving Cailee Spaeny, Morgan Spector, and Kitty Pryde. These casting claims have not been confirmed, and Marvel has yet to announce the full cast.
Ryan Reynolds previously worked as an actor, producer, and writer for Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, which grossed $1.338 billion worldwide. He has previously discussed writing an ensemble project for Marvel. He also said Deadpool works better in a supporting role than as an Avenger or X-Man. However, Reynolds did not identify the project, so its reported connection to Alpha Flight remains unverified.
