Ryan Reynolds has disclosed that he wrote a Deadpool Christmas-themed project alongside Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, who penned Deadpool 1 and 2.
The popular actor made this revelation during an interview with Big Issue to promote his recently released holiday film Spirited, a modern retelling of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol.
Deadpool 2 was released over four years ago and, according to Reynolds' revelations, fans of the antihero could have gotten a Christmas special within that time as the actor, Wernick, and Reese had completed the script and handed it to Disney. Unfortunately, "It got lost in the shuffle of Disney acquiring Fox," in the words of the 46-year-old actor. Nevertheless, he remains hopeful he will portray the anti-hero in a festive feature sometime in the future.
When discussing the now-canceled feature, the Red Notice star stated the film would've had a song-and-dance number. However, there was no risk it would have been a musical. The actor admitted he wasn't interested in making another full musical project following his latest holiday flick due to their complexity. In his words, "I don't know if I would [make a musical] again. I don't think so. They're just such vastly different disciplines. When you haven't spent your life at a craft like song and dance, you're just always playing catch up. Thank God, we have 10, 15, 30, 50 takes to get it right."
