Celebrated
producer
Simon
Kinberg
known
for
his
association
with
the
X-Men
film
franchise,
reveals
his
plan
regarding
the
X-Men
franchise
after
it
hinted
at
a
possible
end
with
the
last
Hugh
Jackman
movie
as
Wolverine.
The
producer
now
confirms
that
there
are
plans
to
introduce
a
new
series
titled
as
X-Force
replacing
the
X-Men
and
it
will
have
Deadpool
and
Cable
in
charge
of
the
proceedings
like
Charles
Xavier
and
Magneto
were
in
X-Men.
"We
are
working
hard
on
new
mutants,
'Gambit
(2018)'
with
Channing
Tatum,
'Deadpool
2'
and
the
new
'X-Force'
movie
where
Deadpool
is
alongside
Cable
and
other
main
characters.
'Deadpool
2'
is
going
into
production
this
year," stated
Kinberg.
"Then
'X-Force'
which
is
a
combination
of
Deadpool
and
Cable
-
they're
like
the
Black
ops
of
the
'X-Men'.
They're
much
darker
and
have
an
R-rated
decibel.
There
are
other
'X-Men'
characters
coming
into
'X-Force'
at
different
times
in
the
comic,
but
it's
separate
from
'X-Men'," he
added.
"It's
something
that's
fun,
exciting
and
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
how
we
marry
the
different
tones
that
we've
been
generating
in
these
standalone
movies
of
the
'X-Men' universe,"
said
the
producer.
"But
we
go
into
making
the
best
movie
we
can.
It's
not
just
about
a
Colossus
or
Deadpool
cameo.
Connecting
all
of
these
movies
will
happen
when
it
organically
makes
sense.
These
movies
aren't
simply
being
built
as
stepping
stones
to
a
larger
story." Kinberg
added
further.
