It's been a big news day for Marvel's X-Force! Over the last few hours, news of a movie based on X-Force went from speculation about a domain name registered by Fox to X-Force creator Rob Liefeld that confirming it's in development.
Now THR is reporting that Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow is writing the script, which he could end up directing. They also say that X-Men franchise producer Lauren Shuller Donner is producing the film.
It's crazy how fast news can develop on projects like this. Fox is expected to make the official announcement at Comic-Con. Kick-Ass 2 looks like it's going to be a great movie, so I'm sure Wadlow will be able to give X-Force a solid adaptation.
X-Force was launched in the early '90s, and the team the original team consisted of characters such as Cable, Cannonball, Domino, Warpath, and Deadpool, and later incarnations featured Wolverine, Psylocke, Sunspot, and Colossus.
