Ryan Reynolds recently revealed on The Box Office Podcast that he pitched an R-rated Star Wars project to Disney, though it remains uncertain whether this concept will be greenlit. While discussing his non-Marvel endeavors, Reynolds hinted at his vision for the project, emphasizing that an R-rating could serve as a "Trojan Horse for emotion" rather than just a means for vulgarity. He suggested exploring a range of lesser-known characters within the Star Wars universe, rather than focusing on the franchise's A-list heroes.
Reynolds, who has a proven track record with R-rated films, having starred in the top-grossing R-rated movies like Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Deadpool & Wolverine, expressed his interest in producing and writing for such a project rather than appearing on-screen. He believes that Star Wars could benefit from the element of surprise and scarcity, despite the extensive content available on Disney+.
While Reynolds continues his involvement with Marvel, particularly pushing for a Deadpool and X-Men movie, the realization of his R-rated Star Wars vision seems distant. Meanwhile, Disney is expanding the Star Wars universe with projects like Star Wars: Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling, although details about this film remain sparse.
