DEADPOOL 2 Is Rumored To Be In The Process Of Casting Three Key X-FORCE Characters
As 20th Century Fox sets about finalizing its Deadpool 2 cast, a new rumor suggests that the studio is seeking actors to play three well-known X-Force characters. Find out who after the jump...
When it was announced that both Cable and Domino would be appearing in the Deadpool sequel fans speculated that this might mean we'd get some kind of lead-in to the planned X-Force movie, and if this new rumor is accurate, that's exactly what's going to happen. According to Comicbook.com, the post-credits scene for Deadpool 2 will feature Sunspot, Feral, and Shatterstar.
Now, as cool as that sounds, we do have reason to doubt the validity of the report.
While the first incarnation of X-Force featured the ferocious feline mutant and the time-displaced son of Longshot and Dazzler, Sunspot is better known as a member of the New Mutants, and has already been (all-but) confirmed to appear in Josh Boone's upcoming adaptation. It seems highly unlikely that Roberto Da Costa would be utilized for both projects - although, it is always possible the same actor will be used, and his Deadpool 2 appearance will make more sense once we see the New Mutants film.
At any rate, take this with the usual pinch of salt until we learn more. In the meantime, be sure to let us know what you think in the comments section.
