Will The Merc Don His Famous X-Force Suit In Deadpool 2?

Get the Full StoryNo matter how many times 20th Century Fox champions the Merc’s sophomore stint as a standalone adventure, Deadpool 2 and Drew Goddard’s nascent X-Force movie are inextricably linked. They share the same universe, for crying out loud!

Word is the latter is gearing up for a production start late next year, so it’s all but certain that Deadpool 2 will include a few winks and nods toward Goddard’s ensemble piece. Fox is yet to disclose an official release date for the latter, though we imagine it’s targeting a 2019 launch.

Regardless of when it arrives, Deadpool 2 will clearly serve as the springboard for Fox’s X-Force crossover, and though we don’t expect an overstuffed sequel in the vein of Iron Man 2, the hosts of Marvel Movie News via Screen Rant have uncovered a seemingly major clue that suggests the Merc With a Mouth will be sporting his famous gray X-Force suit come 2018. Perhaps it’ll be used in some form of post-credits scene?

Either way, we kindly direct your attention toward Ryan Reynolds’ recent Instagram, where you’ll see a rack of Deadpool costumes hanging in the background. But as MMN points out, there are two suits located in the middle that appear to be coated in gray – either that, or they’ve seen a lot more action than their counterparts.

It’s by no means a confirmation, but it does present some interesting food for thought. Besides, the Merc With a Mouth is known and loved for his effortless ability to smash the fourth wall – think of Deadpool‘s post-credits sequence, in which Reynolds’ anti-hero straight up confirmed Cable for the sequel…in 2016 – so we imagine David Leitch and his team have a few tricks up their collective sleeve.

Deadpool 2 has been penciled in for June 1st, 2018. Josh Brolin Infinity War and Zazie Beetz have been cast as the sequel’s two supporting characters, Cable and Domino, and there’s a very good chance they’ll be enlisting for Fox’s X-Force movie when the time comes.
