The 47-year-old actor - who has daughters James, nine, Ines, seven, and Betty, four, with his 36-year-old spouse, as well as a fourth child the couple welcomed into the world last year - is gearing up to the release of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, in which he stars alongside Hugh Jackman, 55, and has now revealed he’s keen to share the screen with Lively in another superhero flick.

When ComicBook.com quizzed Reynolds on whether he’d be open to the idea of working with his wife, he joked: “She's not half the friend that Hugh is."

Before adding: “I would love to."

Ryan would like to copy the couples from Hollywood's Golden Age, such as Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, who appeared on screen together.

He said: "You know, in the old days, they all got to work together, hanging out.

“We got Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn ... That'd be nice, I’d love to work with Blake.”

‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ - which sees Reynolds return as the ‘Merc with a Mouth’ and Jackman reprise his role as the mutant superhero - recently received another trailer in which Lady Deadpool was teased, leaving many to speculate who was underneath the mask, with some theories suggesting that Lively, Taylor Swift or even Reynolds himself could be playing the character.

While he enjoys listening to the speculation, the ‘Free Guy’ actor insisted he was not playing Lady Deadpool.

He told Access Hollywood: “I love listening to the conspiracy theories. Who is it? My favourite one that travelled quite a bit I saw, was me.

“I don’t know how I could do that with my hips. I cannot walk like that to save my life. My shoulders? They’re absurdly broad for a suit like that. So no, it is not me.”

Reynolds then emphasised he had no idea who was underneath the mask.

He said: “I don’t know. I’m going to find out myself.

“I specifically said, ‘Don’t tell me’ when we were shooting. I said, ‘Pick anyone you want and don’t tell me.’”
