It looks like the Deadpool spinoff movie X-Force is all set to go into production this year. Furthermore, the Merc with a mouth won’t be the only character set to reprise in the film.

According to Production Weekly, X-Force will begin filming this October. Both Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin are set to make a comeback in the spinoff film.

X-Force will be written and directed by Drew Goddard. As revealed earlier, Simon Kinberg, Ryan Reynolds and Lauren Shuler Donner hold the producer title.

The recent Deadpool 2 trailer suggests that the movie could put pieces together to set up the event for X-Force. But the sequel’s screenwriter/producer Rhett Reese did say in an interview with Cinema Blend “But that’s not our first goal.”

There’s no word yet if other characters such Domino and Colossus will return as well for the X-Force movie. But it is highly likely since they are part of the team in the comics and seem to have a strong presence in Deadpool 2 as well.

Fans are also interested to know if Olivia Munn’s Psylocke would also be part of the spinoff movie. Furthermore, it also seems highly likely that the actress’ has reprised her role in the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix.

Currently, Deadpool 2 is undergoing reshoots in Vancouver. Recently, Reynolds also shared photos from the set interacting with kids from the Make-A-Wish foundation.

In case you haven’t seen already, here’s the synopsis for X-Force:

“The X-Men spinoff film that revolves around Deadpool and Cable leading a Black Ops force of down and dirty mutant warriors who are far more ruthless than their X-Men counterparts.”

It is unknown if the spinoff would also be an R-Rated film. but back in 2016, Reynolds said, “I think there’s room for a rated R X-Force movie!” (via Comicbook)
