After scoring one of the biggest box office hits of the year with Deadpool and Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds will now help bring another mighty superhero to the big screen. Don't expect anything remotely similar to Deadpool, though.
Reynolds' producing company, Maximum Effort Productions, is working on a movie adaptation of the popular cartoon Mighty Mouse alongside Paramount Animation.
Paramount has been trying to bring the character to the big screen since the early 2000s, when they first announced their intention to adapt the cartoon into a movie. It seems like things are starting to finally move forward now with the involvement of Reynolds' producing company and a new script in the works.
It's unclear at this point what will be the extent of Reynolds' involvement in the movie beyond his role as a producer, so we will have to wait for more details.
For now, the actor is on top of the world following Deadpool and Wolverine's record-breaking box office run last summer. The MCU movie, co-starring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, grossed more than $1.3 billion worldwide.
Reynolds also starred this year in John Krasinski's family-friendly movie IF, which pays tribute to imaginary friends.
The Might Mouse movie has yet to announce a release date. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming movies left to arrive this year, and get planning your theater trips with our roundup of the biggest movie release dates.
