Deadpool was a smash hit back in 2016 so it's no surprise that expectations are for the sequel to deliver next month. Based on what we've seen from the movie, Fox is definitely looking to go bigger and better with the follow-up, introducing an entire team of new heroes in the form of X-Force. While the signs are pointing to that group assembling to fight Josh Brolin's Cable, there's so much we don't know about the movie, it's actually impossible to figure out what's to come at this point in time.
Regardless, seeing that group come together promises to be a lot of fun and director David Leitch - who takes the reigns following Tim Miller's unexpected departure - has now shed some light on that.
"Building a team in the classic style of all action movies, there's great opportunity for conflict," the filmmaker says, adding that while Wade Wilson struggles to get on with his fellow superheroes, "it's not because he doesn't want to. Maybe his fun, never-stop-talking personality is a little grating and people get tired of him. It's not for lack of his good heart. At the end of the day, he wants to be a better person and do the right thing, and sometimes his thinking is flawed, like all of us."
In the first Deadpool, the Merc with the Mouth made his lack of interest in joining the X-Men clear so it should be fun seeing how X-Force differs to that group and what sort of a leadership role he takes on here.
