Wait, that is not the right subheading title! That is an Arnold Schwarzenegger quote from Kindergarten Cop, my bad. I would call them Marvel’s Suicide Squad, but yet, Suicide Squad are DC’s X-Force, so really, it creates this loop of circular logic that you can easily find yourself trapped in if you ate enough mushrooms and you start FREAKING OUT MAN, like, WHOA, who made who? They also sometimes killed people and aren’t big fans of authority (so they are the James Dean of mutants, I guess). So X-Force are like, the kids who couldn’t make it to the top of the class because they like, wouldn’t wear the school uniform and conform to the lame standards set by other mutants and stuff. Oh, apparently I just wrote that first part. I am over here trying to inform you and help educate you about the X Force Marvel brand and you are getting all wordy and demanding. Who In the Flaming F*ck-Knuckles Are X-Force?

The X-Force Deadpool thing goes hand-in-hand and I can give you a quick inside course (we will call X-Force 101, which is not to be confused with X-Force issue #101) and it should give you some basic info so when you see these cats on screen (and yes, in the 90’s comic, one of them was an actual f*cking cat so I can say that) you will have a better understanding of them.Īlso, quick heads up: this is an article about a movie about a comic about Deadpool, who is raunchy and violent and kinda horny, so I cannot promise you it will be safe for kids. Which has many non life-long geeks wondering who the hell X-Force are. But what is even better is not only can I cash in on Deadpool’s fame, but his whole squad are gonna be landing their own movie and they will be first appearing FIRST in Deadpool 2, very soon. The first movie was THAT good and second looks THAT gooder (which is a word Deadpool would totes approve of me using). Granted, he is not even in Batman’s atmosphere yet, but he really potentially could be. And the best part, Deadpool (who is in X-Force) IS getting bigger and bigger. How so? I knew how cool all the X-Force characters were already and it was the height of Marvel’s 90’s comic madness, so I knew, just like with Batman in Detective Comics way back, if I locked down enough of these and even ONE of those characters gets HALF as big as Batman or Superman or the X-Men does across the next 25 years, I will have a comic collection that will one day buy me a Rolls Royce. People called me insane and nerdy (which were and still are very much compliments to me) but to me, those were investments. I am about to talk about X-Force, (who were name-dropped in the new Deadpool 2 trailer VERY MUCH hinting that Deadpool 2 is sort of X-Force movie prequel) and way back in 1991 when the first issue of that very comic came out (in its own sealed bag with trading cards inside for each different team member) I bought a ten copies, ten of which are still unopened. I am not one of those dudes with perfect hair who figured out geek stuff was in right now so I act into like I am into the ‘scene’. As for when those next movies could arrive, it's a mystery.I will admit, I am and have always been a geek. It seems that 20th Century Fox hasn't abandoned the X-Force movie just yet, despite the upcoming merger with Disney. We do anticipate there will be a Deadpool 3 at some point, but it's just a little premature, because it will definitely take a backseat to X-Force for the time being. It's being written and directed by Drew Goddard, or at least that's the plan right now. It's a bit of the 'Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Iron Man 3' model, in that sense.
Now Deadpool writer Rhett Reese has clarified the timeline for both that movie and Deadpool 3, saying:Īccording to the chronology that we've established, X-Force will be next, before Deadpool. But Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld recently hinted that the announced X-Force movie might be dead in the water. Furthermore, the franchise's fourth wall breaking tone is equal parts unique and hilarious, with Deadpool 2 also garnering as much praise as the original. 2016's Deadpool shattered all expectations, proving that R-rated movies were viable for massive box office success.
