One of Fox's most anticipated upcoming superhero projects is X-Force, something that was set up and teased (...sort of) in Deadpool 2.

Set to be written and directed by Drew Goddard (The Cabin In The Woods), X-Force will be a raunchier take on a traditional X-Men team-up movie, with filming reportedly beginning later this year.

Deadpool, Cable and Domino will appear in the movie, alongside a handful of other heroes - and, quite possibly, Peter W. Since he's so valuable and all. While the main series of X-Men movies looks to be sputtering out (especially with Apocalypse's lukewarm reception), one of Deadpool 2's goals was to further flesh out this side of the X-Universe so it could continue to bigger and better places.

And yes, X-Force might not happen if the Disney deal goes through, but with the financial returns Deadpool is capable of delivering, Disney would be silly to let the project die.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
