It had no political undertones, the characters were genuine and entertaining, but because of its cast, every youtube movie reviewer and their mother wished for its demise, and all of the talking points in their videos revolved on the idea that it was 'woke. And Mister Sinister seems to be out there somewhere in Fox's movieverse. Not every film starring a non-white male lead is 'woke.' Shang chi isnt 'woke'.

In terms of villains, they have their pick of pretty much any X-Men foe you like. Because unlike other superheroes, he sometimes doesn't take it too seriously with correct and youth-friendly language. When Deadpool's first movie hit theaters in 2016, we were blown away. We expect that they'll lean on the black-ops/assassins aspect of X-Force's history, no doubt with plenty of Deadpool-style hijinks thrown in.īut who will want to join the team after the first mission went so disastrously wrong? Deadpool is arguably one of the coolest comic book characters of all time. In terms of the specific plot of the movie, it's obviously way too early to predict. The merc with a mouth had been left out from films for a long time, till Ryan Reynolds portrayed a highly criticized version of Deadpool in the 2009 movie, ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine‘. Maybe even Morena Baccarin's newly resurrected Vanessa will get a look in, if Fox decides to finally give her some powers (she is based on the shapeshifting Marvel Comics character Copycat, another mutant with X-Force links). Marvel has some wonderful comic characters, but none quite as fascinating as Deadpool.
