Ryan Reynolds is a charming Hollywood personality best known for playing Deadpool in the Marvel movies. While his Marvel role has brought him global fame, the actor has also raked in massive box office numbers outside the superhero universe. From action-packed thrillers to family-friendly comedies, Reynolds’ non-Marvel films have proven that his appeal extends far beyond the red suit. Here, we rank his top 5 highest-grossing films at the worldwide box office outside the Marvel franchise.
We have excluded animated and voice roles from this list, focusing on the actor’s live-action roles. Hence, Detective Pikachu has not been included in this list despite its impressive collection. The actor’s rapport with Hugh Jackman thoroughly entertained the audience in Deadpool and Wolverine last year. It earned Marvel Studios a billion-dollar movie after a long time. Fans are eager to watch more of them in the MCU in the future.
