Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, co-stars of Deadpool & Wolverine, are reportedly reuniting for a new film project titled Boy Band. The project, helmed by Deadpool director Shawn Levy, will explore the lives of aging pop stars.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds, 48, revealed his enthusiasm for the film. “I really want to make Boy Band, and I’m still trying to figure out the smartest way to put that together,” he said. Reynolds will not only star in the film but also produce it alongside Levy under Paramount Pictures.
