Jeff Wadlow Hints At X-FORCE Lineup & Place In The X-MEN Cinematic Universe
A little more from the Kick-Ass 2 helmer on his planned X-Force adaptation here. Wadlow still isn't revealing too much about which character we'll see make up the team, but he does drop a pretty big hint.
Director Jeff Wadlow has been happy to chat about his planned X-Force movie while promoting Kick-Ass 2, but he's been pretty good at avoiding specifics. That continues in an interview with Den Of Geek - although when asked which team members we might possibly see, he does hint that the team will be made up of characters from the very first incarnation, and the Wolverine led Uncanny X-Force.
"All I can say is this: I bought X-Force #1 when I was a kid, I've read the recent run of Uncanny X-Force which I thought was fantastic, but other than that I just can't comment on the line-up or anything yet". Between this and some of the things he's said previously, I think it's a safe enough bet that we'll see classic team staples such as Cable, Domino and maybe Sunspot (since he'll be appearing in X-Men: Days Of Future Past) combined with some of the hard cases from Rick Remender's run -- but which ones?
Wadlow also comments on the movie's place Fox's X-universe. "Oooh, let's see, what can I say? Let me put it like this. It will seamlessly exist in the X-Men cinematic universe, but it's not a sequel." Interesting! What do you guys think? Sound off below.
