DEADPOOL 2 Writer Rhett Reese Debunks Recent Rumors Of X-FORCE Characters Making An Appearance

Deadpool 2 writer/producer Rhett Reese has taken to Twitter to debunk a recent rumor that three key members of X-Force would be appearing in the sequel's post-credits scene. More past the jump...

We always recommend that any rumor be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism until more details emerge, but when it comes to Deadpool in particular, wannabe scoopers seem to have been way off the mark so far.

The other night, we reported on a rumor that 20th Century Fox was currently looking for actors to play Shatterstar, Sunspot and Feral in Deadpool 2's post-credits stinger, but writer Rhett Reese has now set the record straight.





Reese doesn't go into specifics so there might still be some truth to this (it does seem unlikely that the film wouldn't have some kind of X-Force connection, after all), but for the time being it looks like we can put this one to bed.

Are you disappointed that these guys won't be popping up in Deadpool 2, or would you have gone with different X-Force characters anyway? Sound off in the usual place.

I love when writers and directors flat-out debunk stuff from the baseless rumour mill. James Mangold and James Gunn have been my favourites.

Aww it saddens me so because I so wanted to believe that we will be getting Shatterstar on this X-Force roster.

With the introduction of Cable and Domino as new characters, and probably a few more, there are already enough characters to deal with. I hope they are not trying too much with this sequel. Deadpool was amazing for its badass simplicity.

@Unites - my biggest fear for this movie is overstuffed plot/cast. Keep it grounded like the original but with bigger action.

It was a pretty stupid rumor. Casting Sunspot for Deadpool 2 -when its already been reported Sunspot is being cast for New Mutants. WTF? How can 2 different actors play the same part in the same year? I know this is Fox -and their reputation of not caring about continuity but if 2 actors in the same role appearing just months from each other -that is the stupidest idea you can make with world building. But then again -this is Fox...

And then again, we haven't got all the casting for New Mutants finalized yet.
