“I haven’t done a romantic comedy since The Proposal but I just fell in love with Shotgun Wedding,” Deadline reports Reynolds as saying. “It’s so refreshing and surprising. I can’t wait to bring it to life with Jason, Todd, Dave and the great team at Lionsgate.”
Reynolds was last seen on the big screen in Deadpool 2 and will next be heard as the voice star of Pokemon: Detective Pikachu.
