Read about his reaction to Deadpool 2's big twist, how he'll handle the fallout of that film, and more in this X-Force movie update. However, this was before Deadpool’s stunning success, and with Deadpool 2 a priority for 20th Century Fox, X-Force is probably several years off.20th Century Fox is developing an X-Force film that's going to be written and directed by The Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard, and while making the press rounds to promote his next movie (a small crime thriller called Bad Times at the El Royale), Goddard has revealed his approach to tackling the superhero sequel. Reynolds is on record expressing his interest in being involved with an X-Force movie, as well as a more grittier film than traditional Marvel franchise blockbusters. For those not familiar, the X-Force can be thought of as a more militant version of the X-Men - so it’s also likely that the movie itself will follow the lead of Logan and Deadpool and sport an R rating. X-Force is the brainchild of Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld, and made its first appearance in 1991 in New Mutants No. Which Marvel characters may appear is anyone’s guess - nearly three dozen characters have appeared over the comic’s several runs, including Cyclops, Psylocke, Wolverine, Storm, and Colossus. At one point in the serie,s Deadpool appeared in the X-Force comics, so it’s not entirely out of the question that Deadpool makes some kind of appearance in the new movie. Reynolds helping to write X-Force does make some sense: Deadpool 2 will also feature Cable, the first leader of X-Force in Marvel’s comic book series. Reynolds is currently working on Deadpool 2, and will star alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the science-fiction horror film Life, which debuts March 24. But perhaps more telling about the movie’s eventual plot is a rumor from claiming Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds is also signing on to help write the film.Ĭarnahan has several high-profile film successes under his belt, including Narc, Smokin’ Aces, The A-Team, and The Grey. Multiple sources say Joe Carnahan has been tapped to both write the screenplay and direct the movie.

MarvelWhile we still don’t know much about a release date, the upcoming X-Force movie has a director.
