IANS  |  Los Angeles 

"Deadpool" is reportedly developing an "X-Men" spin-off film, focusing on Pryde who plays Shadowcat.

The character was played by in "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past".

The spin-off film is in the works, though the project is not officially announced yet and is in early stage of development, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Meanwhile, 21st is still actively developing several other previously-announced "X-Men" spin-offs which include "X-Force", "Gambit (2019)" and a potential sequel to "The New Mutants".

Miller, who departed "2" due to creative differences with its star Ryan Reynolds, has been tapped to direct "Neuromancer", an adaptation of William Gibson's 1984 sci-fi novel of the same name.
