In late 2016, it looked like 20th Century Fox was already planning Deadpool 3 even though Deadpool 2 was still in development.

Fox Developing ‘Silver Surfer’, ‘Doctor Doom’ Movies; Aims to Shoot ‘X-Force’ in October!!!!

With a “business-friendly” administration and a President who adores Rupert Murdoch, the government isn’t going to stand in the way of the upcoming Disney-Fox merger. However, 20th Century Fox has to act prudently and carry on with business as usual. That means continuing to crank out a bunch of superhero properties even if those franchises may get upended or rebooted once the characters land in … Continue reading Fox Developing ‘Silver Surfer’, ‘Doctor Doom’ Movies; Aims to Shoot ‘X-Force’ in October!!!!

I’m a big fan of writer-director Joe Carnahan, and in an ideal world, everything he’s attached to would get made. Sadly, most directors don’t inhabit that rarified air where every project they touch gets a green light without any pushback from the studio whatsoever (Christopher Nolan seems to be the only director who can do just about whatever he wants at any price point). Things … Continue reading Director Joe Carnahan Exits ‘Bad Boys 3’!!!

As Deadpool pointed out, “It’s almost like they couldn’t afford another X-Man,” when all they could muster was Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) and Colossus (Stefan Kapicic).

‘X-Force’ movie Could Be Rated-R!!

There’s a reason it took years for 20th Century Fox to greenlight Deadpool. It’s a risky movie—its R-rating is limiting (well, supposedly), its handsome leading man is disfigured and masked for over half the film, and it breaks with story conventions in a big way by having Deadpool directly address the audience. The perseverance and passion of all involved paid off in spades, though, as … Continue reading ‘X-Force’ movie Could Be Rated-R!!
