While promoting the upcomingX - Men : Apocalypselast week longtime X - franchise theater director Bryan Singer said that there ’s absolutely a path to see the principal squad - basedX - Menmovies crossover with the gas constant - rated standalone characterDeadpool . Well , of course there is . This is normal in the comics that the director and studio repeatedly emphasize they project to come after more closely .
At the moment , Deadpoolis more profitable and more marketable than the rest of the X - Men with the theatrical role ’s solo debut ( with an R rating , without 3D ticket insurance premium , and with no China freeing , beware you ) becoming the top grossingX - Menfilm ever . And with theearly reviewscoming in on the negative side forApocalypse , the X - Men mayneedDeadpool more than Deadpool need them . And the skillful way to do this?X - Force .
X - Forcebegan as a spinoff Marvel Comics serial ofNew Mutantsin the early ' 90s and in more late iterations , map the black ops style kill police squad of the X - workforce .
With each of the heavy comic book movie universes vying for attending and their own unparalleled signature vogue , the one matter X - Men presently has over the rival is the willingness ( and now proven success ) of run with multiple period - set stories and stories in a more grownup setting with an roentgen - valuation . The third , still - untitledWolverinemovie beginning production is go to be R - ratedas well - something the studio agreed to even beforeDeadpoolopened in theatre .
And while the primary serial ofX - Menmovies energy further up the timeline , ever closer the present day ( thenextX - Menmovie is already confirmed to be countersink in the ' 90s , whereApocalypsewas set in the ' 80s ) , Fox has an chance to simultaneously run a serial of forward-looking or near - time to come correct movies that can embrace an roentgen - rating alongside their core PG-13 team movie . WithDeadpoolalready here and get a continuation that we know will featureX - Forcestaple Cable , we suspect thatX - Forceabsolutely must be in the card concisely thereafter .
In fact , anX - Forcemovie was already in the whole works . Fox commission a book fromKick - Ass 2writer / director Jeff Wadlow which reportedly focused in on the ageless supervillain Apocalypse , but sinceDays of Future Pastwas tracking to be a big hit for the studio at the time and since producer - author Simon Kinberg and Bryan Singer wanted to explore Book of Revelation in its followup , that version ofX - Forcewas on the face of it scrapped . It ’ll come back though , albeit likely very otherwise , and when it does , weigh on it bring universal gas constant - rated . Even Kinberg agrees when preaching to choir and tellingDen of Geekthe follow :
“ When there are films that want to be dingy , want to be dark , want to be violent or R - rate , [ Fox will ] be open to it … And not every picture should be . I do n’t intend that the main X - Men movie should be radius - snitch ; I do n’t conceive they ’re R - rated storey . But if we were to make an X - Force motion picture , that believably should be gas constant - rate . And what we ’re doing with the Wolverine movie … that was n’t impacted by Deadpool . We ’d made the decision for Wolverine to be R - rated before Deadpool came out . But I think there ’s even more confidence about having made that determination now that you see that an R - rated Deadpool picture can do better than any X - Men movie ’s ever done . ”
This is n’t really new or unexpected , andKinberg has said similarin the past . And if there ’s more consultation reaction and vital acclaim in R - give away X - moving picture featuringDeadpool(again , X - piece : Apocalypsemight be in a bit of trouble ) that may be the only way to go .
Ryan Reynolds , who spearheadedDeadpoolinto reality , has gone on disc legion times expressing hisinterest in an X - Force motion-picture show also featuring Cable(he order thatproject is a " priority"even ) , and ifWolverine 3is a well - received succeeder story , perchance that project is the ultimate means to convince Hugh Jackman to stick around a little longer and not retire after his next solo outing . There ’s too much fun to be had in that unique opportunity , good ?
