The ensemble concept is what’s really got fans hyped up. Instead of putting Deadpool front and center (though we all know he’s the star in his own right), Reynolds envisions a shared spotlight where three or four other X-Men characters get to shine in ways that might be totally unexpected. Imagine your favorite mutants stepping out of their usual roles to create a rollercoaster of surprises — talk about mixing it up!
For those of us who’ve been following behind the scenes, this isn’t Reynolds’ first foray into ensemble blockbusters featuring Deadpool. Remember the Deadpool & Wolverine gem? Back then, Reynolds famously tinkered with his ideas for quite a while on his own before anything got pitched, shaping the film as a low-budget road trip flick full of cheeky humor and unpredictable twists. Now, he seems to be taking that creative spirit even further with this latest X-Men adventure.
Interestingly, there’s a divergence here from Michael Lesslie’s current work on an X-Men movie (yes, the same guy from Hunger Games) — so these projects are carving out their own unique narratives. We’re still in the dark about exactly which X-Men characters will join the rebel alliance, but considering Deadpool’s history of mingling with the likes of Wolverine, Colossus, Sabertooth, Pyro, and even a surprise cameo with Channing Tatum’s Gambit, expectations are sky-high.

Check out why Reynolds feels Deadpool should steer clear of the Avengers or even the traditional X-Men setup, or head over to see how Deadpool & Wolverine broke records as the highest-grossing R-rated film ever, raking in a whopping $1.33 billion worldwide.
