13 Unlikely Movies That Might Exist 10 Years From Now
7. Deadpool & X-Men Crossover Film
Why It's Unlikely: Despite Fox owning the rights to both Deadpool and the X-Men, the rating issue is the one major roadblock standing in the way of a crossover.
Audiences would flat-out reject a PG-13 X-Men movie featuring Deadpool, while Fox would likely never pull the trigger on an R-rated Deadpool movie with the X-Men due to the high costs involved and younger audience base who wouldn't be able to see it.
It's much more likely that one or two mutants will instead have cameos in Deadpool's movies.
Why It Might Happen: Then again, if the upcoming R-rated Logan performs well at the box office and Deadpool 2 follow suit, it will send a message neon-clear to Fox, that R-rated mutant movies do make money...as long as the script is good. The next 18 months will prove pivotal.
