>In July of 2013, Jeff Wadlow, the writer and director of Kick-Ass 2 (2013), was hired by 20th Century Fox to pen the screenplay for an X-Force movie, which he would possibly helm as well.
>With all of that out of the way, I came across artwork that professional conceptual artist Gregory Semkow collaborated with his friend Jeff Wadlow on that features the "team's lineup in the script." A script that Semkow described as "freaking badass."
>Based on the art below, Wadlow's X-Force would include Cable, team leader and son of Cyclops; Domino, skilled marksman, hand-to-hand fighter with probability-altering powers; Warpath, Native American with super-strength and heightened senses; Cannonball, possesses jet propulsion and can create force fields; and the final member of the team is a bit of a mystery.
>I'm referring to the female on the left wearing a hoodie. She has a streak of gray/silver hair that would indicate she's Rogue, but it is hard to believe Rogue would wear fingerless gloves. Perhaps it's Hope Summers or a toned-down version of Psylocke.
What do you think of this line-up? Which one would you prefer?
>>78480407
>X-Force
>No Deadpool
>No wolverine
I don't doubt this was the plan but no fucking way this is what we'll get especially since KA2 bombed and Wadlows likely out
The idea of Cable in a major motion picture boggles my mind
Shit, that's crazy. I mean, it might not be as crazy if they just make him "Cyborg mutant from the future" or "Cyclops son from the future"
But if they go all the way into "Cyclops son with a clone of Jean from the future" or "Cyclops son with a clone of Jean that he and Jean inhabited the bodies of a group of cultists who raised him to be the ultimate warrior who is destined to fight Apocalypse" territory...
Why is everyone wearing an affliction T-shirt. Is it 2006?
>>78480527
X-Force existed without Wolverine, you know.
>>78480527
Kick Ass 2 bombed? I mean, it didn't make as much as the original, but it was profitable, and it's not like the original was a blockbuster
You know, I don't know how much longer the X-Men movies have legs to stand on after Apocalypse.
And before you claim I'm a MCUck, I don't even think Marvel will be able to use X-Men rights as every big story with them is done already on the films.
>Dat Dom
>>78480407
>>78480563
Yeah I'd like to see Cable in the new movie. You can't really do a good Apoc story without him.
>>78480618
And the Avengers existed before Cap, Hawkeye, and Widiw were in the team but they sure were founding members in the MCU aren't they?
Oh shit. Cannonball!? And Domino!
>>78480618
Which is an easier concept to explain:
Wolverine leads an X-Men hit squad that kill villains
or
Cyclops's son from the future leads a group of former New Mutants (who are like X-Men but not quite) who take a more proactive stance in the fight for mutants except not really?
Granted, they're not only limited to these options, but the presence of two major league marketable characters like Wolverine and Deadpool makes the Yost/Remender X-Men the more viable choice, by my reckoning
I'm hoping for Boom Boom. All superhero movies so far lack the in your face fun loving airhead female. Hell, all the female leads in superhero films have pretty much been the same personalities.
>>78480709
Hugh Jackman is quitting Wolverine.
>>78480407
>Domino
>>78480709
They're leaning off Wolverine though. Just look at Apocalypse.
>>78480407
I think if Deadpool is successful they would slot him in.
>>78480563
>Kate Leth
Kill yourself.
It may be the pic, but the chick looks kinda hairy. Wolfsbane?
>>78480719
>>78480799
>Cable, Deadpool and Domino in a team on the big screen
>>78480816
Going by the white hair streak, it has to be Feral.
>>78480687
Hawkeye isn't a founding member in the movies
>>78480787
>>78480764
Days of Future Past made double what First Class did
Don't be so sure you've seen the last of Wolverine. He's in a class of his own in terms of popularity, and they'll recast him eventually. Hell they've already recast everyone else except him!
>>78480787
You should see all the annoying tweets going "Where's Wolverine?!" to that trailer.
>>78480816
was thinking the same thing
>>78480890
The most perfect image.
>>78480527
>wanting another Wolverine-centric X-movie
Fuck. You. I'd still take him over Jennifer Fatface though.
>>78480801
That art isn't by Kate Leth. I'm sorry I triggered you though bro
>>78480709
not about easy in the concept sense as it is marketability
>all the cbm's so far aren't that meticulous to the comics' "canon"
>If the X-force movie with Cable leading has a star-studded cast, they could just as easily go with that one
>>78480881
In the sense that by the end of their first major mission he was on the team.
>>78480633
KA1 had a $30 million budget and a $96 million box office.
KA2 had a $28 million budget and $60.7 million box office.
Saying it bombed is going a bit far, but I'm sure Wadlow won't be doing X-Force either way you cut it.
They'll be set up perfectly for this X-Force lineup, outside of Fantomex
>>78480407
Would love it if they used Remender's line-up, just replace Wolverine with Cable.
>>78480407
SOMEONE CALL LIEFLIED THIS IS ABOUT TO GET EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEME
>>78485073
And replace Fantomex with Gambit
Wonder will Cable be Scott's son from future or time-travelling Wolverine.
Fuck Ultimate X-Men. Kill them with fire.
>>78480527
>>78480709
>>78480799
>Deadpool
Yeah no, they're definitely going to see how his movie does before throwing him in.
Which means he'll be in.
>Domino
well butter my biscuit, I never thought Id see the day
>but it is hard to believe Rogue would wear fingerless gloves
if she's gonna be in the field and they only give her the bad touch powers rather than the super strength or the ability to store and reuse certain powers she'd absorbed before, how else would she be able to do anything if she can't touch anyone?
>>78485951
is not rogue is feral
>>78485870
Domino makes me want to butter her biscuit.
>>78486045
>X-movie with all new characters
What a time to be alive.
>>78486047
you're gonna need a bigger utensil
>>78480407
>no Shatterstar
into the garbage it goes
Who has the movie rights to Gwenpool? Must be Marvel right?
I bet she gets a movie before X-Force comes out
>>78486045
yeah she is, you can see the hair on her arms.
I love the lineup, still hope for Shatterstar and Boom Boom so we can have the complete original line up.
>>78480563
you think that's crazy Stryfe if most likely going to be the villain, Stryfe is going to be in a movie before Kang, Namor, and about a million more classic comic villains
Cable and Deadpool movie when?
>>78486202
>>78480407
Animated movie?
I want to see Mojo in this movie
Dat fat bastard...
>>78486389
if they manage to get shatterstar then they will use longshoot and mojo in the future, since LG is married to Dazzler in the comics that means she could appear too.
>>78486352
hey if it hurts than it just means Im spot on
>>78486458
>Fox caring about the canon
>>78486458
>in the comics
Because movies were faithful to comics?
>>78486487
>>78486490
do you guys want mojo or not ?
how else could they explain him ?
>>78486534
If I can blindly accept kitty sending logan back in time because REASONS than I can accept an alternate reality dictator who blinds the populace with blood sport reality tv
>>78486534
Just saying, don't get your hopes up that they'll use Mojo because of canon in comics.
Mystique, first X-Man. Bah.
>>78486346
>Deadpool is a success
>Cable-led X-Force is a success
>Fox decides to do a buddy comedy with the two
I would cum buckets. I would watch that movie so many times. I would buy the Bluray.
>>78486575
>bodyslide by one
Oh, shit.
>>78486484
I have my ways of coping.
>>78485079
He already tweeted saying that it was just concept; the X-Men Apocalypse project going ahead made Fox decided to push aside the X-Force project.

>She has a streak of gray/silver hair that would indicate she's Rogue, but it is hard to believe Rogue would wear fingerless gloves. Perhaps it's Hope Summers or a toned-down version of Psylocke.
Forget the streak, with this kind of line-up, my money's on Boom Boom easily. No Deadpool surprises me though. Maybe they want to see how the movie does before going there.
>>78487162
they better make her fun and not broody
>>78487162
Nevermind, this one got it right.
>>78486045
Feral is correct.
They're going completely 90s with this shit, which I'm not sure how I feel about.
>>78480407
Is that Dolph Lundgren as Cable?
>>78480407
>10 visible pouches
Not enough.
>>78486298
But you'd have to throw Rictor in so this picture could come true onscreen and be co-opted for all the yaoi girls...
yay
It's obviously boom boom
>>78480407
Fuck is up with anorexic Cable
>>78480407
>young Cable
pls no
other than that, I am HYPE
> Domino
Finally my waifu gets the love she deserves
>>78480527
Wadlow's filming one movie now and has another in prep; the earliest he'd likely be able to commit to X-Farce is 2018, since it has no prep done at all. However, FOX has no reason to rush into more movies before then. So I don't know.
My gut here is that it's not going to get made at all.
>>78480618
"Wolverine" was the only reason they kept making X-Men movies after X3. Jackman put up a lot of the money.
Now that they have to recast him, they're praying that the new actor will be better than the old. But he won't.
>>78485777
>X-Force: Gambit and Deadpool vs Cable
>>78483913
Eh... agree. It also made significantly less on home video release.
>>78480787
>>78480890
Days of Future Past made double what First Class did because Jennifer Lawrence blew up. She had a twenty million dollar opening weekend with a movie about Women's Shit this weekend. It's all but unheard of.
>>78480407
The girl on the far left is said to be Feral. Too bad she doesn't look shit like Feral!
>freaking badass
>>78480837
jej
>>78485008
easily the best x-force run
>X-Force
>90'S line up
>No Boom-Boom
Teh fuck!
>>78480407
>but it is hard to believe Rogue would wear fingerless gloves
How? If anyone's going to wear fingerless gloves, it's Southern trailer trash like Rogue.
>>78490322
i assume the mystery girl on the left would be boomer. who else could it be unless its a completely new character? maybe skids, but i doubt theyd use her in a x-force movie when they got so many others to use
>>78490349
Well, Boom Boom is trailer trash too. I don't think she literally lived in a trailer, but you know, generally that kind of background.
>>78480407
>Kick-Ass 2
Dead in the water.
>>78490349
>>78490372
>>78490391
It's Feral, anons.
>>78488726
Maybe she has... feral form?
>>78490422
shit i forgot about that bitch. at least they had the good sense to put cannonball in this, without him, a x-force movie would be shit
>>78480407
They'll probably just nke Cable a dude with big guns.
>>78480407
>and the final member of the team is a bit of a mystery.
>prominent fur on arms
>prominent claws
>prominent wolf like eyes
Yes, a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Whoever could it possibly be?
>>78486099
>all new characters
Xforce movie needs Boom Boom
>>78485349
He better be Scott's son from the future
>>78490754
Did he even have a single line of dialogue in DOFP?
I want muh buff Cable
>>78491144
He used his super sight to spot the Sentinels and inform the others as I recall.
>>78491144
He says something like "They're coming" when he spots some Sentinels.
>>78491144
>Bryan, you promised me lines, the things I did I---
>>78491139
Based Singer
>>78480667
I bet Cable will show up in Deadpool or Apocalypse. Like a last minute shocker thing.
>>78480407
Her arm looks hairy so maybe Wolvesbane?
>>78480407
This looks great. I really hope they keep Domino's Chicago backstory and don't turn her into some generic asian chick. Those dragon designs have me slightly worried for her character.
While I don't think they'll actually do it. An X-Force movie sans Deadpool would be fantastic.
>>78487187
>They're going completely 90s with this shit, which I'm not sure how I feel about.
You know you love it.
>>78490422
Yeah, it definitely is. You can even see the animal-like hairs on her arm.
>>78480407
>>78480563
Stephen Lang as Cable please.
>>78485008
fucking LOVED this... and Fantomex was my favorite :D
>>78491162
It's not Cable if he's not old, buff, and carrying ridiculously big guns.
>>78490071
>easily the best x-force run
I politely disagree
>>78496601
ok, now I get why people like Domino
>>78496722
she's fun and can be adapted to a wide variety of situations
>>78496834
or she's just hot
>>78496972
it can be both.
>>78486269
anything to do with mutants is still owned by fox on big screen
Warpath was one of my big favourites growing up. I had his baseball card.
>>78496601
Volume 3 had a good first half, but was completely ruined by alternating issue crossovers in the second half.
>>78480563
Do you actually experience the stories or just read it up on Wikipedia?
Not everything that has happened to a character is relevant to every and any story with him.
>>78497032
She's a person from our world who debuted in Howard the Duck back-up story
why do you hate best girl
>>78490435
That is kinda the opposite of her character. Feral use to struggle with being a genetic mutation, and always stuck as a cat girl mutant. Her being able to transform from human to cat would pretty much nix her original personality.
>>78499779
What, are you saying you don't want a replay of Hank's arc, only with female angst thrown into the mix? Because I may sound sarcastic, but that sounds pretty hot.
>>78499034
Well I blame that more on the cross over than the book itself. Crossovers almost always ruin these books
>>78494991
>You know you love it.
>so far read X-Men from 2001-2015 + 1975-1982
>You know you love it.
I'm not actually sure.
>>78485008
well Fantomex is referenced in the latest deadpool trailer, so maybe if we're lucky.
>cinematic Cable
>not played by Bruce Willis
I'm outie 50000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
>>78495169
>Waldo as Cable
Okay, never mind, I'm back in.
>>78496601
You're both wrong by the way, this is the best one.
To be honest it sounds nuts but outside of a few exceptions there aren't many bad X-Force runs. Once Liefeld leaves after the first year it's at worst readable until the John Francis Moore stuff where it becomes bretty gud. Then you've got Milligan/Allred, then the Yost/Kyle stuff, then Remender. Then you've got Spurrier's run. The only weak stuff is the stuff inbetween Remender and Spurrier and only Humphries' Uncanny X-Force is universally bad (I don't like Hopeless' series but most of /co/ seems to).
X statix when
>yfw when they do all the marketing around the original team who dies in the first issue
