X-Force Will Be Released Before Deadpool 3 If They Both Happen


20th Century Fox

The future of Fox's Marvel films remain uncertain as Disney's purchase of the studio is coming to a close but since Deadpool and Deadpool 2 were huge box office hits, it's likely that Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin will reprise their roles. Although Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are not sure about their Marvel projects with Fox, they do know which would be released first, if they would be made.

Speaking to Screenrant, Reese explained, "According to the chronology that we've established, X-Force will be next, before Deadpool. It's a bit of the 'Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2,The Avengers, Iron Man 3' model, in that sense. X-Force isn't being written by us. It's being written and directed by Drew Goddard, or at least that's the plan right now. We're not involved with that one. 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."

The writers still talk to Ryan Reynolds about their ideas. "We're constantly in touch with Ryan [Reynolds], and we're always throwing ideas back and forth via text and phone conversations," Wernick added. "So, it's always at the front of our minds. We'll get there when the time is right, but as of right now, X-Force is next up."

Right now, the writers are focused on Zombieland 2, which will be released this October. Zombieland 2 starts shooting in January in Atlanta, Georgia," Reese said. "All the principals are back. We're very excited. We think we finally got to a place where we think we got a sequel that's worthy of the first movie. Time will tell if that's the case, but it will come out sometime in October or November, or something like that. Later this year. It's a blast to get that particular band back together. A lot of people who worked on Zombieland, including us, think of it as one of their favorite formative projects. To be able to return, ten years later, from when the first one came out, it's a blessing that none of us thought was going to happen. To have it come together like this, it feels like capturing lightning in a bottle.

It sounds like they have a lot of ideas for X-Force and Deadpool 3. I hope Disney would eventually confirm the two films after their purchase of Fox.
