Summary Ryan Reynolds is busy with upcoming films like Deadpool 3 and a John Krasinski-directed fantasy comedy, IF.

Deadpool & Wolverine marks Reynolds' first appearance as Deadpool in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Reynolds' other future projects include Animal Friends, Mayday, Boy Band, Calamity Hustle, and Dragon's Lair: The Movie.

Based on his upcoming film schedule, Ryan Reynolds is one of the busiest actors in Hollywood, as he has numerous sequels and original projects in the works. Reynolds has appeared in multiple good and bad movies over the course of his career. However, the renowned actor never fails to entertain audiences with his comedic and action roles, from starring as the titular character in Deadpool to playing a billionaire vigilante in 6 Underground. Reynolds has also stepped behind the camera as the producer and writer of a handful of films (some that he even appears in).

One of Reynolds' most highly anticipated future movies is Deadpool 3 — aka, Deadpool & Wolverine — the third installment in the Deadpool film series. After several delays, the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movie will finally debut in 2024. However, aside from big-name projects like Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds has many other exciting films to come, including a John Krasinski-directed fantasy comedy and a sequel to his Netflix action movie.

Deadpool & Wolverine (July 26, 2024)

Directed By Shawn Levy

Deadpool & Wolverine A sequel to the highly successful Deadpool and Deadpool 2 starring Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with a Mouth. The third film will be the first film in the franchise to be developed under the Marvel Studios banner following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox. Ryan Reynolds is returning to play the character, alongside Hugh Jackman, reprising his Wolverine role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time. Director Shawn Levy Release Date July 26, 2024 Writers Rhett Reese , Paul Wernick Cast Ryan Reynolds , Hugh Jackman , Morena Baccarin , Brianna Hildebrand , Jennifer Garner Franchise(s) Deadpool , Marvel Cinematic Universe

As mentioned above, Deadpool & Wolverine is one of Ryan Reynolds' biggest upcoming projects, seeing as it's the second sequel to the widely successful 2016 film Deadpool. But it's also significant because it marks Wade Wilson's (and Wolverine's) introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The 2024 superhero movie will also, thankfully, be the MCU's first R-rated project (some were worried that the IP's transition to the MCU would take away its brutality and vulgarity).

Although not much is known about Deadpool & Wolverine's story (which is a good thing), the trailer reveals that the Tim Variance Authority (TVA) from Loki on Disney+ plays a role. The TVA, led by Matthew Macfadyen's Paradox, pulls Wade from his life to send him on a mission, where he encounters Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine. Hopefully, the Phase Five movie lives up to the hype and contains many exciting surprises that set the MCU on a better path as it is the only MCU film premiering in 2024.

Wolverine is able to appear in the third Deadpool film because Disney (which owns Marvel Studios) acquired 21st Century Fox (which owned the rights to the X-Men) in 2019.

Meanwhile, Reynolds is set to play a father struggling to raise his kids in a world that has been taken over by monsters.

Reynolds, who wrote the script for the boy band reunion film alongside Jesse Andrews, will star in and produce the movie. Boy Band's filming schedule is unclear, as both Reynolds and Levy are quite busy in 2024, but the project has been confirmed, so hopefully, it will premiere sooner rather than later.

Calamity Hustle (TBA)

Directed By Aaron & Adam Nee

Another of Ryan Reynolds' upcoming films is the Warner Bros. action comedy Calamity Hustle, directed and written by Aaron and Adam Nee. Per Deadline, the movie is said to have a similar tone to Lethal Weapon and the hope is that the first film will launch an action franchise. Reynolds' character in Calamity Hustle is a cop, while Channing Tatum is set to play his estranged brother who happens to be a low-level criminal. Meanwhile, the story launches when Tatum's character is implicated in a diamond heist, which will take place around the holiday season.

Principal photography for Calamity Hustle is set to occur in New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, but a filming schedule is unknown.

Dragon's Lair: The Movie

Directed By Don Bluth & Gary Goldman

Ryan Reynolds is producing and starring in a live-action version of the popular video game franchise Dragon's Lair for Netflix. Reynolds hopes to change Hollywood with Dragon's Lair: The Movie with its scope and innovative technology, but the latest update on the project came in November 2022, so its status is unclear. Nevertheless, Dragon's Lair was originally released in 1983 and is known for its superior graphics, rapid-fire, choice-based gameplay, and infamous difficulty. The Netflix adaptation will follow Reynolds' Dirk the Daring, a heroic knight trying to rescue a princess from an evil dragon and a wizard.

Related Free Guy Was A Bigger Box Office Success Than You Realize Disney's Free Guy was one of the top ten highest-grossing films of 2021. However, the film is actually more successful than it initially seems.

Free Guy 2 (TBA)

Directed By Shawn Levy

Following the success of the 2021 action comedy Free Guy, Disney wanted to keep the ball rolling with a sequel. However, Shawn Levy didn't confirm that the rumored sequel was in the works until November 2023, when the director announced they were trying to write a worthy script (via Parade). However, Levy made sure to emphasize that Disney had not greenlit Free Guy 2 yet, as the script is still being worked on. Consequently, it might be a long time until Ryan Reynolds reprises his role as Guy in the Free Guy sequel (if it is confirmed and not ultimately scrapped).

Free Guy received an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects at the 94th Academy Awards in 2022 but lost to Dune.
