‘X-Force’ Movie: Cable Leads Five Major Characters In The Film! Tom Hardy Or Jon Hamm To Play Enigmatic Mutant Leader? Release Date Possibly 2018!

The "X-Force" movie has not been officially confirmed but is pretty much in the pipeline as far as Fox is concerned. 'X-Men Apocalypse' figures to be a turning point in the mutant franchise and X-Force is the only logical destination.

According to reports from Screenrant, X-Force was originally announced last summer with Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow attached to writing the script and directing the movie. X-Force creator Rob Leifeld had read the complete draft of the script and commented on it as "beyond impressive".

Although there are no doubts that X-Force movie is in development, everything changed when Bryan Singer announced that "X-Men: Apocalypse" is scheduled for 2016. The production has been shelved but it is perceived as a delay more than a cancellation. It is rumored that the 2018 Fox movie is X-Force.

X-Men franchise producer Lauren Shuler Donner spoke to Collider and stated that they might be limited to two movies in a year. 2016-2017 has X-Men Apocalypse and the sequels to Wolverine and Fantastic Four.

"I think we have to figure out how many films a summer can handle without getting into X-Men fatigue... There's a summer, there's a year, say 2014, 2015, how many can you put out? Take into consideration there are also Marvel movies coming out then. At a certain point people want to see other movies besides comic book movies so you have to be really careful what you're going to pick, and how many are going to be released within a year."

Screenrant also reported that five characters will star in the X-Force movie and these are Cable, Psylocke, Colossus, Domino, and Deadpool.

Cable is the leader/founder of the X-Force and stands to become one of the most important players in the mutant Universe. Cable has the anti-hero vibe about him. While he is clearly on the heroes' side, he is deeply motivated by his angst.

His leadership of X-Force will provide a sharp contrast to Professor X's style with the X-Men.

Casting speculation has already begun, and no less than X-Force creator Rob Liefeld has given his two cents via Twitter:

What do you think of Tom Hardy or Jon Hamm as Cable?
