‘Deadpool 3’ Will Have X-Force

The sequel to Deadpool, the highest grossing Rated-R film is currently in flux after Tim Miller’s unfortunate exit due to creative differences on the project, however. That is not stopping Fox from moving full steam ahead with the development of the franchise.

An X-Force film has been in development hell for quite some time now. But it seems Fox finally has a plan to realize the dreams of fans of the more aggressive X-Men team. According to The Hollywood Reporter, if all goes well, which it should, the X-Force team will be featured alongside the merc with a mouth in the inevitable Deadpool 3.

At this point, there’s no way of telling when all of this will come to fruition. Deadpool 2 is currently slated for a January 12, 2018 release date but it seems likely it’s going to be pushed back by a few months. The production was set to get underway in early 2018 but until a director is signed, things will remain up in the air.

First Look at Stephen Merchant as Caliban in ‘Logan’

The Logan marketing campaign via social media continues. Today we have our first look at Stephen Merchant as Caliban. The albino mutant will be assisting Wolverine as he takes care of Professor X who is in a state of cognitive decline.

In the comics, Caliban was a mutant with the ability to track other mutants. After he was captured by the Watchtower (an anti-mutant research facility), Caliban was liberated by Wolverine and several other mutants. He was one of the few who regained his powers post M-Day.

Since we already know Logan and Xavier’s powers aren’t what they used to be in a future where humans are asking “Where have all the mutants gone?”, it seems likely Wolverine and the Professor aren’t the only ones who’s powers are diminishing.
