Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy's upcoming musical comedy 'Boy Band' reunites Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as former bandmates. Reynolds revealed the film will have a modest budget and feature a story about two aging musicians. While details are scarce, the project promises a blend of humor and music, capitalizing on both actors' talents.
Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy gave the biggest blockbuster of the year by bringing Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine in MCU ’s Deadpool and Wolverine. The R-rated feature was a massive hit and breathed new life into the MCU and superhero genre. Reynolds and Levy have been collaborating successfully on features like The Adam Project and Free Guy, and recently they announced a new project, Boy Band , on the heels of their latest success.
The upcoming movie will combine Reynolds and his longtime friend and MCU costar Jackman as two bandmates who reunite years later. “I’m on a second draft,” Reynolds revealed, “The first draft was incredible and written by one of my favorite writers, Jesse Andrews . Now I’m on my lonesome. There are no dates or anything just yet. I’m not filming anything for at least a year.” So, fans can rest assured that Boy Band will have Reynolds’ entire attention.
‘Boy Band’ Will Focus on Joy While Levy is set to produce along with Reynolds, it isn’t confirmed yet that he’ll be assuming the director’s duties. The prospect of Jackman and Reynolds reuniting for the musical comedy is a delicious one for fans. While Reynolds showed his musical prowess in Spirited, starring alongside Will Ferrell, Jackman is renowned for his stage presence, appearing in several musical films and Broadway shows.
A lot of members of boy bands — and there are a lot of them — had managers who left them high and dry. They experienced levels of fame that would be very difficult for anyone to navigate, let alone an adolescent, when you are farming out your self-worth to an audience of screaming people. It creates a kind of arrested cultural development. They’re forever associated with that period of time in their lives. This would be about people in their 40s and 50s trying to get their lives back.
No release date for Boy Band has been announced yet. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates and watch Reynolds and Ferrell in Spirited on AppleTV.
