Ryan Reynolds Reveals He Had Pitched an R-Rated Star Wars Movie to Disney
- In May 2025 on The Box Office podcast, Ryan Reynolds shared that he proposed the idea of an R-rated Star Wars film to Disney.
- He made the pitch following his success with the highest-grossing R-rated film Deadpool & Wolverine, made with Marvel Studios and Disney.
- Reynolds explained the proposal would not star him, calling it 'a bad fit,' and suggested the R-rated Star Wars property could explore a wider range of characters.
- He urged Disney executives to 'gamble' on the concept, but it remains unclear if the project will be developed or take the form of a movie or TV show.
- The pitch highlights Reynolds' interest in expanding mature content within major franchises, though Star Wars has never previously produced an R-rated property.
