We Almost Got an X-Force Movie Trilogy, Here's What Would Have Happened

Now that Disney has purchased Fox, renaming its major studios with crappy names like 20th Century Studios, there are going to be a lot of movies that we won't be able to see due to the merger. Unsurprisingly, a number of those projects are X-Men movies like the Kitty Pryde film that Brian Michael Bendis was supposed to work on and the Deadpool spinoff X-Force, which was slightly teased during the events of Deadpool 2.

Jeff Wadlow was hired to work on X-Force before it was scrapped and he revealed a number of interesting plans for this almost-franchise. During an interview with ComicBookMovie, Wadlow revealed that he had plans for a trilogy that would have started with a Rob Liefeld-like tone of edgy ‘90s kids fighting baddies and eventually evolve into something like Rick Remender's acclaimed Uncanny X-Force.

I plotted out this three-movie arc that took X-Force from what it was in the 90s with Rob Liefeld with a band of kids fighting for what they believe in. And then by the third film, the group would have grown and changed and lost and picked up some new members, and basically turned into Rick Remender's version of the X-Force in the early 2000s. That was a much darker hit squad and black ops team who had lost their way over the course of the three films.

This definitely sounds interesting and it would have been fun seeing who would be in this group. Deadpool seems like a likely candidate since the first movie iteration of the team did appear in Deadpool 2 but there were also plans to introduce a completely different version of Cable. We'll never know at this point and we probably won't see an X-Force movie for many years.

Deadpool and Deadpool 2 are now available on Blu-Ray and digital services.
