8 Ways That Deadpool 2 Sets Up Future X-Men Movies

Deadpool 2 sets the stage for future X-Men movies in some very surprising ways, and here are eight of the most significant.

Wade’s New F-Word

Before the credits, the final scene of Deadpool 2 features Wade Wilson finally becoming part of a family, learning that it’s not just an “F-word” to be feared. Though – at this point – he’s lost Vanessa, he’s found himself part of a ragtag group of friends. Namely, Cable, Domino, Russell, Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

Given the way that the final moments of the film position them as a family, it’s likely that all six characters will team up again in X-Force. But will they actually become the militant mutant hero team of the title? As said earlier, the actual group named X-Force in this film were written out extremely quickly and mostly treated as a joke. However, the gift of time travel does mean that they can easily come back in the spinoff.

It’s hard to tell right now, as Deadpool 2‘s writers recently revealed that the line-up of X-Force in their own movie has yet to be decided – except that it’ll obviously contain Cable and Domino. Seeing as it seems that X-Force is taking the place of Deadpool 3, though, we imagine that there will be a fair amount of connective tissue between it and Deadpool 2. So we wouldn’t be surprised to see all of Wade’s new family putting in appearances.
