A handsome man that presents himself as a modern-day jester, Ryan Reynolds could crack up a statue with ease. With his signature mischievous smirk, the Deadpool star turns the most mundane scene into a stand-up special. Whether on-screen, online, or in interviews, the 46-year-old is the undefeated master of delivering deadpan sarcasm. Now imagine if his comedic prowess was combined with one of the best comedy directors of this age: Edgar Wright. As the man behind the camera who ensures that every joke hits the mark, Wright has managed to infuse comedy into almost every genre.

Put together, the two can produce the kind of visual gags that end up in a belly ache. And after wrapping up Deadpool 3, Reynolds may just join hands with Wright to do exactly that.

Can Ryan Reynolds inject humor into a heist?

Reynolds’ portrayal of the sassiest of vigilantes that struts around in tight spandex in Deadpool won the Canadian actor countless fans. Seems like among them is Edgar Wright, the man behind the ingenious action comedy, Baby Driver. According to Giant Fricking Robot, the two may pair up to add a dash of absurdity to the serious world of heists in a Netflix flick called Caper Conundrum.

His blockbuster, Baby Driver is a testament to Wright’s unique and eccentric style of directing. Also reflected in his sci-fi comedy, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Wright’s prowess as a director is one to behold. With Reynolds by his side, he could deliver one of the most iconic comedies of all time.

Meanwhile, Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World which came out in 2010 has garnered a huge cult following of its own. Now sitting on the edge of their seats, they await something else to arrive soon on Netflix.

Chris Evans returns to voice this villain

The warrior who defeated not one, but all seven of his crush’s exes, Scott Pilgrim is considered a god among geeks of the world. So when Netflix Tudum revealed that the quirky comedy is receiving an anime rendition at the hands of Science SARU, fans went into a flurry right away. Returning to voice their characters, Chris Evans, Michael Cera, and Anna Kendrick have been announced in the cast as well.

Fans of Edgar Wright’s work that were wishing for the Scott Pilgrim anime to launch soon, now have another thing to wish for. Because if the Baby Driver director takes Ryan Reynolds under his wing for Caper Conundrum, the resulting flick will be destined for greatness.
