In the end , though , Fox commit a sweetener and switch . Deadpool 2had teased the X - Force , but the team we saw in the trailers barely made an appearance . Far from getting their luck to shine on the big screen , the the likes of of Bedlam andShatterstarwere kill with rest .

Deadpool 2 Was Mocking X-Force (And Its Creator)

There ’s a sense in which the marketing forDeadpool 2was the ultimate gag , setting up one film just so the studio apartment could deliver something completely different . The first avatar of X - Force was a version of the team from the ' 90s , a blend of X - Force stalwarts like Domino and Shatterstar with lesser - known members like Bedlam and Vanisher . It show promise , but honestly , it seemed more than a little random . In the end , though , this X - Force team did n’t even make it past a parachute jump . Far from cutting a bloody swathe through their enemy , they were shredded by helicopter blades or electrocute when they collide with electricity wires . Deadpool 2treated X - Forcein just the same way the Merc With A Mouth treats everything else - with subversive learning ability and humor .

This was underscore by the flick ’s negotiation that circled around this earned run average of strip . When Domino talk about her super - powers , she ’s roundly mock by Wade , who insists luck is n’t a power ; it ’s sure as shooting not very cinematic . All that direct to a brilliant gag in which Wade speculates that she was probably created by somebody " who ca n’t draw feet . " It ’s an obvious reference book to Rob Liefeld , Domino ’s creator , who ’s well known for finding fundament hard to pull back - he tends to fog them behind smoke and dust ! There was also a running gag about Cable ’s grip , with Deadpool describing it as a " fanny pack , " another searing review article on the way choice Liefeld ’s characters be given to make . Deadpool 2further cover X - Force like a joke .

Rob Liefeld , for his part , loved it . He may be well - have it off for create some of the most macho , testosterone - driven characters in Marvel Comics , but Liefeld was n’t ashamed to let in hecried after watchingDeadpool 2 . " Part was the nostalgia of the peculiar track blasting , " he explained , " but mostly the emotion that they had landed the plane in such spectacular fashion . " The celluloid may have poked fun at Liefeld , but he clearly thought it was majuscule .

X-Force is Still Coming

Deadpool 2may have had a laugh at X - Force ’s expense , but the squad movie is still on its way . Drew Goddard already has his own news report , andDeadpool 2writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are honestly beaming to takea cave in from the Deadpool dealership . As Wernick noted , they ’ve " written a draft of Deadpool every successive year since 2009 . "

All that mean this plastic film is a crucial step along the journey toX - Force . There have been reports thatX - Forcewill start take this evenfall , although that depends on the status of Goddard ’s many in - gestation projects . It ’s honest that Fox ’s long - terminal figure plans are in doubt , given Disney ’s project purchase of the volume of Fox ’s moving-picture show empire , butReynoldsremains convinced anX - Forcemovie is on its style . As he explained :

" It really is at the bit — and maybe it ’s an illusion , and perhaps I ’m naïve — but it ’s business as common at Fox , " claim Reynolds . " I ’m not an executive over there … but I like to think that whoever buys Fox is buying it to keep inviolate , and to allow it to be its own entity . "

X - Forceis still on the way , then . So just how didDeadpool 2set it up ?

Deadpool’s “Family” Could Be The Real X-Force

Deadpool ’s first X - Force team are butcher unceremoniously , but that ’s only so he can build a Modern squad around himself - a mathematical group who Wade refers to as his " family line . " It seems likely that this is the new X - Force , not just a black ops team of variation but also a loose " family " who genuinely care about one another . There ’s a ingenious visual nod inDeadpool 2 ’s third enactment reinforcing this theme , with Wade ’s costume stain white-haired by fire and dust ; it ’s the color of the costume he put on when he became a member of X - Force in Rick Remender ’s amusing Good Book run .

That means the asterisk of theX - Forcemovie are a team unlike any version we ’ve ever seen before in the comics . It ’s true that there are three classic X - Force team extremity ; Cable , Domino , and of course Deadpool . But while Deadpool is reasonably comic - book - precise , both Cable and Domino are very different to their comic book counterparts . Cable ’s convoluted backstory has been ditchedin favour of a much simpler , far more personal intellect for traveling in time ; it ’s a sassy move on Fox ’s part , consecrate his laughable book account is honestly bewildering for all but the most committed 10 - Men fan . to boot , in terms of magnate levels , while Cable is still a human dynamo , there ’s no trace of his telekinesis and telepathy . Meanwhile , Domino ’s powershave stay the same , but Zazie Beetz ’s version is very different in condition of appearance . Colossus , for his part , was only a brief member of an X - Force team ; he joined up during Dennis Hopeless ’s short - livedCable and X - Forcerun , and actually became Domino ’s lover .

Rounding the team out are three younger member , only one of whom has ever even been associate with the X - Force stigma before . Firefistis the cinematic version of the blond - hirsute and blue - eyed " Rusty " Collins , and while the might are the same , his quality and personality - not to mention his visuals - have been switched up by Fox . Negasonic Teenage Warhead was so different to the original comic book version thatFox had to do a peck with Marvelin ordering to be allowed to run with their version of the character . Andthe Yukio of the comicsisn’t even a mutant , never listen a phallus of X - Force .

Deadpool has Moved Beyond the Comics

In term of overall smell and elan , the Deadpool films have been about as amusing - Word - accurate as its potential to be . Ryan Reynolds ’s Wade Wilson is the unadulterated self-aggrandising - screen of the Merc With A Mouth , wisecrack and break the fourth wall with impunity . But even the first picture teased that these movies would move beyond the comics , liberally redesigning Negasonic Teenage Warhead . Deadpool 2takes that one footstep further ; it sets up a likely X - Force team that ’s not only never been see in the cartoon strip , it would n’t even be possible without making extremist variety to case who are either long - dead ( Russell ) or have a strong sports fan - radix ( Yukio ) .

What makes this particularly interesting , though , is that the underlying concept are still the same ; it ’s the execution that is radically different . In the comics , the original X - Force was create when Cable agreed to serve as a mentor to a chemical group of untested X - Men , theNew Mutants . The team gradually plow into an interesting portmanteau of grownup heroes - like Cable and Domino - and teenagers who were find their way in a brute world that hated and fear them . Deadpool ’s " family " may not be honest to the mirthful book roll , meaning the team dynamic inX - Forcewill be unlike anything from the comics , but the themes and idea persist the same . It ’s a fascinating approach to comic Holy Scripture adaptations , and it ’s sure to leave buff of the cartoon strip rather divided . The realism is , though , a funny book roster was never go to be on the poster ; most of the classic X - Force team members are reserved for Josh Boone’sNew Mutants , or ( in the case ofOlivia Munn ’s Psylocke ) survive in a dissimilar time - period and are expected to look inX - Men : Dark Phoenix .

Drew Goddard already has his own story forX - Force , but whatever it may be , it will be completely unlike to the comics . The centre concepts will remain the same ; X - Force will still be the ultimate team of disastrous ops mutants , take on the most brutish terror to the mutant race . AsDeadpool 2co - author Rhett Reese noted , the squad will still be"much more virtuously whippy " than the X - mankind ; that intend we ’re in for a darker , fucking , and even " raunchier " ensemble movie . What gain this equally gripping , though , is the question of whether or notX - Forcewill take a likewise dramatic overture to redesigning its scoundrel . If it does , even the most experient comic book reader can have no musical theme what to expect .
