Deadpool is Definitely in The X-Force Movie According to Rob Liefeld

X-Force creator Rob Liefeld seems to know quite a bit about Jeff Wadlow's X-Force movie (and Deadpool) and he's taken to Twitter to voice his pleasure!

Never let it be said that Rob Liefeld keeps things to himself. The comic book artist and co-creator of X-Force and Deadpool apparently has all the inside dirt about Hollywood's plans for X-Force and Deadpool movies. Mr. Liefeld, who has a history of being open and engaging on Twitter, could barely contain himself today, as he tweeted a series of positive things relating primarily to Jeff Wadlow's X-Force film, but even hinting about the state of the Deadpool movie, as well!

I was fortunate enough to read the current draft of the X-Force film last week, and I can tell you, it was beyond impressive!

The best part of the film is the camaraderie between the team as they learn to cope and trust one another! #xforce

There are at least 4 sequences that long time fans of X-Force, Cable and Deadpool will scream in absolute delight! #wadlownailedit

Perfectly plausible to see the X-Force and Deadool stand alone film released within 6 months to a year of one another. Great times ahead.

I will not divulge the cast of X-Force, gotta keep some stuff under wraps.

To those who suspect I'm an automatic homer, every time I crack open one if these scripts I'm terrified.

I speak comic books pretty fluently, I'm aware of what should and should not work on screen. So far, X-Force and Deadpool are in great shape

X-Force cast/film will please/appeal to fans of all eras. Wadlow carefully, cleverly navigates the legacy.

Every film needs a proper script b4 they can cast&shoot. 1st mission accomplished for X-Force-When the casting begins we can scream together

So, what do we know? We know there's a completed draft of the X-Force movie, and it's apparently quite good. Deadpool is in it, and so is Cable (obviously). Deadpool must be a fairly prominent character in this based on his statement about a "Deadpool stand alone film released within 6 months to a year" of X-Force. Does this mean that the script that's been floating around forever by Zombieland's Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (which Ryan Reynolds has been keen to make for ages) is no longer in play?

We'll find out soon enough, but it does sound like the X-Force movie is on the right track!
