Marvel Rumours- An X-Force Movie 

There are some rumours circulating that Marvel is preparing to make a movie based on the superheroes in the X-Force group. The X-Force are a group in the X-Men universe. The X-Force are also consisted of mutants, fighting for the cause of mutant equality, much like the X-Men (too many Xs), but are somewhat a more military organisation and dont just wait arund for a crisis to take place in order to act. The roster of mutants constantly changes since 1991, but the mutant equality cause remains. Wolverine has been a member and Colosus is currently a member. If the movie happens, I so forsee Wolverine in there because Fox love making every single X-Men or X-Men related movie to have Wolverine as the main man and the centre of the Universe, which I personally do not particularly like. Deadpool has also been in the X-Force, I think, so this could actually be a way to introduce a movie based only on Deadpool, as Ryan Reynolds is still fighting for the Deadpool movie to be actually made, as we want it to.

According to IGN it is confirmed that Cable and Deadpool will be part of the X-Force. This is good news for Ryan Reynolds and the X-Force fans. Jeff Wadlow, who has been hired as the director of the adaptation also has stated that the movie will feature five characters. Who are they? I do not know. I hope this chick that gets her bones out is there. Other sources say that the character Apocalypse- the ancient mutant, will have amajor role, which hints that the movie could have more in common with X-Men Apocalypse rather then Days of Future Past. There are no sources saying that Wolverine will participate, so my above speculation might be wrong. Dont get me wrong, I love him, but not in every movie.

Now, according to IMDb, the X-Force plot is about time travel: "A time-traveler assembles a team of mutants in order to prevent the wrecked future he came from". Days of Future Past much? This plot really does seem like a second version of the upcoming X-Men movie, However, we know Cable is a time traveler in the comic books as well. Other rumours circulating are that Stephen Lang is to play Cable. If you do not know who Stephen Lang is, as I did not know until a secong ago, he is the actor who played the bad guy in Avatar. Overall, I do not like the idea of time travel, only because Days of Future Past are doing it and time travel becomes too milked. But if Fox is willing to make a proper tie-in between the two movies, then I am all up for it. The movie according to IMDb has already been announced. However other sources say it is only rumoured. God I hope that it is going to happen. If it happens, it is planned for 2016.

Overall, there is really a lack of evidence stating that this is definetely happening. I really want it to happen, I mean Cable is a badass and Deadpool appearing- hell yeah! But if it is totally in development, as many sources say it is, there is a big chance that this is where it remains- just like Deadpool, X-Men Origins: Magneto and Gambit. But I am an optimist, so I say there is a good chance that this happens and I will pray to the movie Gods for X-Force.
