Deadpool's Ryan Reynolds working on getting X-Force movie made at Fox

Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool hasn't even been released yet, but the actor said his main focus right now is to work on getting an X-Force movie made.

Talking to German outlet Filmstarts, Reynolds said that he believes there's a section of the X-Men universe that hasn't been explored, including X-Force, that he wants to start working on immediately.

"In the future, if we're doing a bunch more Deadpool movies, we're really going to explore the X-Men a lot," Reynolds said. "And maybe X-Force. X-Force is my priority. I really want to get that in."

Although it took Reynolds years to get his Deadpool movie greenlit at Fox — it only happened after test footage of the movie leaked online — now may be the best time to try and get an X-Force movie off the ground.

Not only is Reynolds' Deadpool movie on track to make a killing at the box office, but Fox is also about to start development on a New Mutants television series in partnership with Marvel. New Mutants, a spinoff of the X-Men series, eventually lead to X-Force being born. If Fox wanted to tie its cinematic universe in with its television department, much in the same way Marvel originally did with Agents of Shield, using X-Force and New Mutants could be a potential way to do so.

The concept of an X-Force movie isn't anything new to the studio, either. Years ago, Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow was asked by the studio to write a script for an X-Force movie. Before the film could get anywhere, however, the Deadpool footage leaked and Fox fast tracked development on that after seeing how the internet reacted to it.
