Fox has set Drew Goddard to write and direct X-Force, the X-Men spinoff film that revolves around Deadpool and Cable leading a Black Ops force of down and dirty mutant warriors who are far more ruthless than their X-Men counterparts. Kinberg, Ryan Reynolds and Lauren Shuler Donner are producing. Goddard is next directing for Fox Bad Times at the El Royale with Chris Hemsworth and Jeff Bridges, but he has already cracked the script and will roll right into X-Force when he is finished.

Seems like a solid catch

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Goddard in charge of an X-Force film is a good pull, especially if he's writing/directing.

Gonna be interesting to see how Deadpool plays in that situation though, but I bet Deadpool 2 will bring the guy a little more down to earth than he was in the first film.

 

[jelly]

Sounds fun.

Only seen Cabin in the Woods from him and that was fine. He hasn't directed much.

 

[Blader]

That's a nice pick. Sounds like this is coming together pretty quickly. I wonder if they want X-Force to release before a Deadpool 3?

 

[Prompto]

Good choice

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Will they reintroduce Wolverine here?

X-Force Deadpool is my favorite Deadpool for sure, because his moments where he shows his humanity are so well done. Remender struck a good balance with the character.

 

[ForkNetwork]

Will they reintroduce Wolverine here?

I hope not, Logan deserves a ten year old break

 

[Shaanyboi]

Good fucking call

Wish he was still on Daredevil though

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Wait, didn't we already have an idea as to who Fox wanted to be in this X-Force via production art of some sort?

I hope they're riffing off Kris Anka's costume designs, because nobody's done those better.

I'd like Storm & Psylocke in here, if we could. I don't care if they're the Apocalypse versions, either. Singer did 'em both dirty. Goddard might not.

 

[MadLaughter]

A solid pick, and I'm glad that they're bringing both Cable and Deadpool into it. Hopefully Domino's involved too.

 

[oneida]

Remender's UXF was the best Marvel run I had read in ice ages

 

[broncobuster]

Upgrade from his Sinister Six gig. Good choice.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Great news.
I hope they don't rely on Deadpool too much though. His jokes don't play as well when he's part of a team unless he's used very sparingly. Still, the X-Men spin-offs continue to look very promising.

 

[Bronx-Man]

A solid pick, and I'm glad that they're bringing both Cable and Deadpool into it. Hopefully Domino's involved too.

I would just make X-Force the cast of Deadpool 2 + Psylocke & Fantomex.

Think we got pretty much fan art from one of the writers from the 2015's version of the script's friends.

 

[Rastafarian42]

So should be expect a mixture of the OG team and the Uncanny (Remender) team ? That's what I'd hope for as a huge fan of the Remender run.

 

[Lifeline]

Even more excited for X-Force.

 

[MadLaughter]

I would just make X-Force the cast of Deadpool 2 + Psylocke & Fantomex.

For sure. I might throw Logan's X-23 in there if they could pull it off.

This is from when the dude who directed Kick-Ass 2 was directing X-Force.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

Will they reintroduce Wolverine here?

Probably not. I'd place my bets on it being more likely that Dafne Keene comes back as Laura.

 

[paragonpro]

Cool, they should totally throw x 23 in there

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Good shit.

Perfect time to bring back X-23 I think.

 

[the_firewithin]

We dark angel saga now?

 

[Fork on the Left]

Have a feeling it's gonna be called Deadpool and the X-Force or Deadpool: X-Force. Gotta have that name recognition to appeal to the mainstream.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I would just make X-Force the cast of Deadpool 2 + Psylocke & Fantomex.

So:

Cable
Deadpool
Domino
Colossus
Psylocke
Fantomex

I'd swap out Colossus for Storm.

Maybe we should give Multiple Man another shot?

edit: There's no way Goddard asks for, much less gets, Mangold's version of X-23, much less gets to REINTRODUCE HER after that movie.

 

[mrjohill]

pull in psylocke too and give her something to do lol

 

[MrCunningham]

Upgrade from his Sinister Six gig. Good choice.

Going from Sony to Fox is most certainly an upgrade.

I honestly haven't seen The Cabin in the Woods or anything else Drew Goddard has directed (has he directed anything else?). So I can't really comment on this news. But hey, I am all for more R-Rated Weapon-X Cinematic Universe.

 

[Slayven]

So:

Cable
Deadpool
Domino
Colossus
Psylocke
Fantomex

I'd swap out Colossus for Storm.

Switch out pslocke for Feral

 

[Extra Sauce]

Will they reintroduce Wolverine here?

Same here and it's not even close. Hell, in a way you might say Remender ruined the character for me as everything I've seen Deadpool in after that X-Force run has been known to make me cringe.

 

[LordOfLore]

So:

Cable
Deadpool
Domino
Colossus
Psylocke
Fantomex

I'd swap out Colossus for Storm.

Swap Fantomex for NTW and you probably have the team unless they pull people from New Mutants.

 

[J_Viper]

Damn I thought Carnahan was on this?

 

[ZeroX03]

Cabin in the Woods was solid and his two episodes of Daredevil might be the strongest in Marvel TV. Hope this gets made so he finally gets his the superhero directing credit he's badly wanted.

 

[jon bones]

i hope they have good sense to use Deadpool like Remender did in UXF

 

[Hades Hotgun]

They need to have GW Bridge, Hammer, Grizzly, and Kane as antagonists/grudging allies.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Swap Fantomex for NTW and you probably have the team unless they pull people from New Mutants.

Is Negasonic back for Deadpool 2? I'm out of the loop.

 

[LordOfLore]

Is Negasonic back for Deadpool 2? I'm out of the loop.

Of course. Both her and Colossus are in it albeit less than in 1 since Domino and Cable needs the time.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

So basically X-Force becomes the third in the Deadpool trilogy then.

I do want em to mix in Psylocke & Storm though.

 

[slightconfuse]

So Deadpool hallway fight when

 

[Shaanyboi]

So Deadpool hallway fight when

Too late?

 

[LordOfLore]

Psylocke will be in it. That training video for Apocalypse made that almost a sure shot.

 

[Slayven]

Nah Ahab

or Cameron Hodge

 

[SillyEskimo]

That Domino design is so much better than Domifro. Warpath looks badass.

Who is the girl on the left?

 

[MisterHero]

The world was is too pure for a Reynolds DP and Jackedman Wolvie buddy movie

a good one anyways

can we at least have Wolvie's adamantium skeleton cameo?

 

[Slayven]

People still salty about Beatz' hair, smh

 

[Dark Ninja]

No Logan? No Laura?

 

[LordOfLore]

That Domino design is so much better than Domifro. Warpath looks badass.

Rogue.

I'm not talking about the main antagonist, I mean the guys that you fight in the first half, but team up with by the end, like Colossus and NTW in the first Deadpool movie.

It's a Marvel tradition that can't be ignored.

They can have Tolliver and Stryfe be the actual bad guys.

People still salty about Beatz' hair, smh

Don't worry, it's just cosmetic anxiety.

Tolliver wouldn't needed. But Stryfe would be fun. The stinger could be the Dark Beast and Nate grey showing up.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Goddard is a good solid choice, and it would be nice if he directed another film as well. It's been five years, and while writing is fine, I'd like to see him try more. Certainly he's a better choice then whoever Fox would probably want to make the film.

Gonna be interesting to see how Deadpool plays in that situation though, but I bet Deadpool 2 will bring the guy a little more down to earth than he was in the first film.

I doubt if. If anything I expect Deadpool to try & top the first in terms of fourth wall breaking or something.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

Tolliver wouldn't needed. But Stryfe would be fun. The stinger could be the Dark Beast and Nate grey showing up.

But what if Tolliver ...

Spoiler

Is the Dark Beast.
