Ryan Reynolds Reveals He Had Pitched an R-Rated Star Wars Movie to Disney

In a May 2025 episode of The Box Office podcast, Ryan Reynolds shared that he proposed the idea of creating an R-rated Star Wars movie to Disney.
He proposed the R-rated Star Wars idea based on his success with R-rated Deadpool and Wolverine films made with Marvel Studios and Disney.
Reynolds explained the R-rated Star Wars property would not star him and that it could explore a wide range of characters without being overt or centered on A-list stars.
He urged Disney executives to "gamble" on this mature take, but he did not confirm whether they accepted the pitch or if the project will become a movie or TV show.
This pitch indicates Reynolds' interest in applying the R-rated style successfully used in Deadpool to Star Wars, though no development or approval is confirmed yet.
