Deadpool 2: Will Deadpool be in X-Force movie?
SUPERHERO mania isn't going anywhere. Deadpool 2's sustained success shows that even an anti-hero can benefit from the continued lure of the superhero flick. While people are clamouring for a Deadpool 3, X-Men fans want to know: Will Deadpool be in the X-Force movie?
A movie adaptation of X-Force has been in the works since way back in 2013.
Deadpool, as we now know him, proved that X-Men spin-offs could be wildly successful, even the ones that were a bit off kilter thematically from the X-Men franchise.
When X-Force was first conceptualised, Deadpool's producer Simon Kinberg told Collider there was room for X-Force to be R-rated like Deadpool unlike the PG-13 mainline X-Men movies.
The thematic similarities and the fact that Ryan Reynolds (aka the merc-with-a-mouth himself) was initially brought onto the X-Force writing team made it seem like a safe bet the answer would be yes.
Then the Deadpool 2 trailer landed and it was confirmed.
The Deadpool 2 trailer featured the first official name-drop of the X-Force group.
And in true Deadpool fashion was instantly panned as being derivative by one of the mutants themselves.
So, will Deadpool be in the X-Force Movie?
Mavel
The answer, as Deadpool would say, is f*ck yes.
The Deadpool 2 trailer has Deadpool describing the eventual x-force team.
"We need them tough, morally flexible, and young enough to carry their own franchise for 10-12 years,” Deadpool says in typical meta-sarcastic fashion.
Deadpool is the presumed ringleader of X-Force and will fight alongside the familiar face of Domino (Zazie Beetz) and Shatterstar (Lewis Tan).

Domino will already be familiar to fans who saw Deadpool 2.
Cable (Josh Brolin) is will also appear in X-Force following his Deadpool 2 debut.
The baddie of Deadpool 2 Cable is a militaristic, time-travelling mutant cyborg whose role in X-Force is unconfirmed.
New-ish faces to the screens in the X-Force movie include Feral (a savage, cat-like mutant) and Warpath (a Native American fighter with super strength).

Peter, the only non-mutant X-Men "hero" is likely to be seen again given Deadpool's rescue during Deadpool 2's post-credit scenes.
Plot details for X-Force are still under wraps, but we predict a look into the black-ops-assassins part of X-Force's history.
Deadpool co-writer Rhett Reese promised X-Force will have: "all the sex, violence, and silliness one would expect from the Deadpool-skewed militarized mutant force."
The Hollywood Reporter stated the X-Force movie will shoot in October 20118, so a late 2019 or early 2020 release seems possible.
