7 Ways Deadpool 2 Sets Up Future Sequels

As for what happens in the film then, the X Force is one of the most obvious clue-ins as to what's next for our lovable 'pool. Set up in number two as Wade’s own collection of super-mutants hired to save a child from imminent doom, the next movie will focus on the ensemble group, including Deadpool, as they take on new, equally perilious challenges.

The script hasn’t been confirmed as of yet, so we know we’ve got to wait a few years for production to come full circle on the project. What we do know from the X Force comics is that we can expect a lot more violence than the family friendly X Men. Functioning as a brutal splinter group from Xavier’s students, the X Force is a group of mutants willing to shed some blood to get things done - the darker counterparts that align much more fittingly with Deadpool’s own ethos.

In Deadpool 2, we get the first establishment of the group as Wade, wielder of luck Domino, d*ckhead alien Shatterstar , acid-spitting Zeitgeist, electro-boy Bedlam, appropriately named The Vanisher, and lovable normie Peter. Deadpool's own costume is even turned grey and black in the course of the movie, a gentle nod to his comic book attire for the X Force series.

It’s fair to say that X Force is up next for production - but this is probably (definitely) not the final line up. With the X Force comics having a long and complicated history, there’s potential to have any number of mutants on board to deliver some bad*ss beatdowns.
