With the success of Deadpool in 2016, Fox opened up a new market in superhero movies that had not been explored much. As movie audiences tastes have changed, so has their tolerance for blood, sex, and violence when it comes to their superheroes. This new opening has already been taken advantage of by Logan, another Fox production and it looks like it won’t be stopping with just two movies. With Deadpool 2 and 3 down the line, are along with an X-Force movie, Fox will be paving the R-rated banner for superhero movies for a long time.
While The X-Force movie is a few years down the line, it’s a very advanced move by 20th Century Fox to already be planning for the movie. It had previously been reported that the team would only be introduced in the third Deadpool movie even though X-Force members Cable and Domino will be introduced in Deadpool 2. The X-Force, in the comics, was a super team put together by Cable who like the X-Men took on threats both mutant and otherwise. The difference between the two is that X-Force is more militant as all the members were mercenaries or the like who had no qualms about killing enemies when they needed to.
