2. X-Force - REBRANDED

Despite the apparent brutality of the cuts, X-Force will survive, but it will probably be renamed Deadpool 3: X-Force, which makes a lot of sense.

According to Slugzilla, the film could include characters who were supposed to be in New Mutants, though Anya Taylor-Joy's Magik won't appear because of some set friction.

After they introduced her to New Mutants late on, X-23 will now probably appear in X-Force, as Fox want her in a team-up rather than giving her her own movie. Which makes a lot of sense, really.

And what about current other MCU plans for mutants?
