How Will Deadpool 2 Be Related To X-Force?


After Deadpool proved that R-rated movies can be successful in the box-office, Fox has suddenly started greenlighting more mature projects like Hugh Jackman's Logan and (possibly) the upcoming X-Force. Since that series will feature characters in the Deadpool sequel, co-writer Rhett Reese has opened up on how Deadpool 2 relates to the movie, and what we could possibly expect.

In an interview with CinemaBlend, Reese opens up:

"We're trying not to think too much about [‘X-Force'], because you can really…It's a trap in these movies to use the current movie to set up the next movie, as opposed to making the current movie… I know that I buck against it. I feel like, ‘Oh, here we go — it's just setting up something that doesn't even matter for this movie. It only matters for the next movie.' So we are keeping in mind that there will be a next movie; we're trying to set up the characters that will be in that next movie. But that's not our first goal. Our first goal is to tell a Deadpool story in an emotional, fun, satisfying way. And then the fact that we're setting up something in the future — it's happening, but you're not gonna see that mustache-twirling villain, who is going ‘Hahaha, [it's all coming into place].' You're just not going to see that, because that's not our game."

Deadpool 2 will actually feature three members of the team, them being Cable, Domino, and Deadpool. With the X-Men franchise being in a new low after Apocalypse, it's possible that Fox may want to back up another popular super-team.

Hopefully set-ups for future films don't disturb Deadpool 2 too much. The same problem happened with Avengers: Age of Ultron and Amazing Spider-Man 2; the movies spent too much time focusing for future movies that they just ended up looking like 2-hour-trailers for the next film. Hopefully the studio doesn't pester the production too much.

Deadpool 2 is expected to release early 2018.
