Ryan Reynolds co-wrote a “Deadpool” Christmas movie that was never made: “Maybe Someday”

Oh come on, Deadpool fans, maybe someday you'll get a full-length Christmas movie starring the big-mouthed mercenary. According to star Ryan Reynolds, he and his team actually wrote the film some time ago, it just fell victim to a corporate restructuring.

In a new interview with The Big Issue, Reynolds admitted that he probably wouldn't take on another full musical after starring in “Spirited” for Apple TV+ this year, but that he would be very open to a musical number for Deadpool in the future. Reynolds then revealed that he and the writers of “Deadpool” actually wrote an entire Christmas movie for the character a few years ago, although it wasn't specifically a musical.

“Four years ago [‘Deadpool’ co-writers] Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick and I wrote a Christmas movie with Deadpool. But it got lost in the chaos of Disney's acquisition of Fox and never got made,” Reynolds said. “Maybe someday we can make the movie. It's not a musical, but it's a complete Deadpool Christmas movie. So someday.”

This revelation could explain the release of Once Upon a Deadpool, which, while not a pure Christmas film for the antihero, certainly got into the holiday spirit.

In 2018, “Deadpool 2” returned to theaters for a second release, but this time under the new name “Once Upon a Deadpool.” It was not a complete new movie, just a watered down, PG-13 rated Christmas version of the sequel.

In place of the R-rated moments in the film, new cutscenes were added that parodied The Princess Bride, in which the adult Fred Savage reprises his role as a sick, bedridden child. But where Peter Faulk would normally read him the story, this time it was Deadpool himself telling his own story.

But if Reynolds has his way, fans might get a whole new story sometime around the holidays.
