After marked the Marvel universe with his vision of Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds would see himself putting his paw on another cult saga belonging to Disney: Star Wars.
In recent years, some films classified in in the United States, that is to say prohibited to under 17s not accompanied by an adult, have reached summits at the box office, like never before. And in the top 5 of the biggest successes classified in the world, we find the three films Deadpool, Deadpool & Wolverine sitting in first place with more than $ 1.3 billion in revenue.
So can be said that Ryan Reynolds knows something in film there in this category. And after having proven it at Marvel, the star would like to tackle another ultra-popular franchise: Star Wars. This is what he revealed in the Podcast The Box Office of The Outside Scoopeven ensuring that he had already talked about it with Disney.
No vulgarity on the program
“”I told Disney 'why wouldn't we make a classified Star Wars film R?'. Not necessarily on the best known characters, but there is a wide range of characters that could be exploitedR, “he said.
And to specify: “I am not saying that it must be classified R to be vulgar. The R classification is a Trojan horse for emotions. I always wonder why studios do not want to embark on this kind of bet.“”
Indeed, if some superhero films like Joker, Deadpool or Logan have obtained an R classification and have a hit at the box office, the studios are often cautious at the idea of making too violent blockbusters. This is why it is not won that Disney accepts Ryan Reynolds' proposal, especially for a saga as family as Star Wars. But if someone has their shoulders for such a project, it's him!
Behind the camera rather than in front
The actor has nevertheless added: “I’m not saying I would like to be in the film, it wouldn't work. I would like to produce it and write it or go behind the scenes.“A statement that could disappoint some of his fans, but shows that Ryan Reynolds likes to work more and more behind the camera.
Finally, the star shared his desire to surprise the public with such a project: “This kind of frankness rests very well on rarity and surprise. We don't really have a rarity with Star Wars because of Disney+ (where many series are offered, note) … but you can certainly still surprise people.“”
Recall that the faithful collaborator of Ryan Reynolds and director of Deadpool & Wolverine, Shawn Levy, was recently announced to the creation of Star Wars: Starfighter with another famous Ryan at the head of the poster, namely Ryan Gosling. Why not imagine that Reynolds can join the production team of this film? In any case, the ball seems to be in Disney camp!
