This past weekend at the Canada’s Walk of Fame Gala, I had the chance to chat with Canadian director and producer Shawn Levy, a master behind the camera for hits like Deadpool & Wolverine and the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter. With his work already featuring Ryan Reynolds and set to include Ryan Gosling, I had to ask: has he started plotting a film for both Canadian Ryans? Levy’s response will have you dreaming of the ultimate dynamic duo! Catch more from the gala when it airs this Canada Day on CBC.
You’ve worked with Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool & Wolverine) and will work with Ryan Gosling in the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter, have you started thinking of a film that will feature both of the Canadian Ryans? Are we thinking action? Comedy? Romance?!
Wow! I have definitely thought about a ‘Double Ryan’ movie. I don’t know if it’s like Ryan & Ryan or Ryan vs. Ryan!
I feel like if I just put both Ryans in the same movie, it’s already more than people can handle. Like, it’s too much charm, wit, and general attractiveness!
So, no, I don’t have a plot. I don’t have a tone. But that’s a duo! That’s a team-up that I would love to be part of!Canada’s Walk of Fame 2025 will air Tuesday, July 1 at 7 p.m. (7:30 NT) on CBC and CBC Gem.
