The last time we saw Warpath was in 2014's Days of Future Past, but the mutant didn't really have much to do.
Indeed, while Bryan Singer's seminal X-feature earned plenty of plaudits during its initial box-office run, the post-apocalyptic setting was criminally underused. Fans of Warpath would've felt this particularly however, with the former X-Force member accumulating barely a minute of screen-time during the film.
Introduced in 1984, Warpath was initially a villain of the X-Men before he swapped sides to join X-Force. On top of the two knives he tends to carry, James Proudstar also possesses super-strength and super-speed, making him one of the most formidable combatants in the X-Men mythos.
Booboo Stewart portrayed the character in DOFP, and it would be great to see the actor mount a return for X-Force, especially if it'll boast that coveted R-rating.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
