RUMOR: ‘Deadpool’ Spin-Off ‘X-Force’ May Have Been Shelved

Again, staying in rumor territory, but word appears to be that, among the supposedly cancelled X-Men and Fantastic Four spin-off projects at 20th Century Fox, one of the films left on the cutting room floor would be Drew Goddard’s upcoming X-Force film which is a spin-off to Deadpool.

Going off of Daniel RPK’s recent tweets in regards to Fox’s Marvel projects, most of them appear to have been shelved. In the case of X-Force, though, it’s a little murky. While Drew Goddard is supposedly scripting the film after working on Bad Times At The El Royale, DanielRPK stated that X-Force itself is not officially dead, but it would essentially have to begin filming in two months. That, he believes, won’t happen, but it’s anyone’s guess, depending on the status of the actors and where Drew Goddard is in the writing process.

But here’s Daniel’s original tweet about the status of X-Force and the other Fox/Marvel projects:

Because of the success of the Deadpool films, coupled with Ryan Reynolds performance, many have speculated that if there were to be any carryovers from the X-Men universe to the MCU, it would be him. That in and of itself is also speculation, but it remains to be seen what the status of X-Force will be. After all, Deadpool 2 did establish X-Force and set up the continuation of the team in the future. Given how far removed it is from the mainline X-Men films, could we see it again in some new form or fashion in the MCU?

Who can say? Again, this is all rumor territory, so take this all with a massive, adamantium grain of salt for right now. In the meantime, let us know your thoughts on the supposed scrapping of X-Force in the comments below.

Deadpool 2 is available now on Digital HD, 4K, Blu-Ray, and DVD. Once Upon A Deadpool will be available on home release soon.
