There are no mutants in sight for Ryan Reynolds's follow-up to Deadpool.
The actor is teaming up with Notting Hill director Roger Michell for an adaptation of John Kenney's Thurber Prize-winning novel Truth in Advertising.
A major change of pace for Reynolds, Truth in Advertising is the sad story of a lonely ad exec who has to spend Christmas working overtime while his family and friends celebrate.
Producers Lisa Wilson and Myles Nestel told Deadline: "John Kenney has adapted his genius novel beautifully and crafted a smart, funny, modern tale which analyses society's obsession with consumerism.
"His script is in safe hands with Roger Michell who previously explored our media-crazed culture in Notting Hill.
"The charismatic Ryan Reynolds is perfect for the role of the everyday advertising executive trying to find his way in a confusing world."
