“X-Force” Movie In Development

“X-Force” Movie In Development

July 15, 2013 By Michael Hickerson Leave a Comment

Looks like a lot of Marvel mutants will be on the big screen in the near future.

We’ve got The Wolverine opening later this month and X-Men: Days of Future Past is on the horizon.

Now comes word that Jeff Wadlow. who penned the script for Kick-Ass 2, is working on a script for an X-Factor movie. According to the Hollywood Reporter, X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner is working as a producer on the project.

The news comes on the heels of various blogs reporting Friday that the studio registered X-ForceMovie.com a few months ago.

X-Force, created by Rob Liefeld, was a spinoff from Marvel Comics flagshipUncanny X-Men released in 1991. Its first issue set records when it sold 5 million copies. (The record was surpassed later that year when X-Men No. 1, drawn by Jim Lee, sold 8 million issues.)

The original lineup of the team comprised several characters from the first Uncanny X-Men spinoff,The New Mutants, teens who had matured into young adults. Also in the lineup was Cable, a militant leader from the future who is related to X-Men heroes Cyclops and Jean Grey. His body is enhanced by robotic parts, and he has telekinetic powers as well.

X-Force has been rebooted a couple of times in the past decade, and there are now two comics in the marketplace: Uncanny X-Force and Cable and X-Force.
