DEADPOOL 2 is currently filming in Vancouver with director David Leitch and star Ryan Reynolds. The plot of the film is totally unknown, but we know the likes of Cable, Domino, Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead and others are in the mix. But could there be even more mutants in the film that we don’t know about? Specifically, the casts or either NEW MUTANTS or X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX?
With the release dates of each film, Deadpool’s sequel is coming just a couple months after “New Mutants,” with “Dark Phoenix” following five months later. It wouldn’t be surprising if producers and 20th Century Fox had plans for some epic crossovers. While one or two films take place in different time periods, we do have Cable, who is well-known for being a time traveler! In the comics, the “New Mutants” have strong ties to Cable, who eventually leads them as the new X-FORCE team.
Twitter user @RealCineaste seems to have the inside scoop on Deadpool’s production and hints at the potential of this happening. She also provides some juicy bits of behind the scene details. None of this can be verified, so take it with a grain of salt for now, but it’s possible she’s telling the truth.
I met someone who's part of the production crew of Deadpool. He mentioned that there will be several xmen characters who will be-

Funny that when we were discussing Deadpool he insinuated that the script for Deadpool 2 isn't as great as the original 😂

And that Ryan Reynolds is basically calling all the shots for this film from the script down to casting

Probably, he was trying to describe the concept art that he designed for a particular scene for this movie. It sounded like it's a-

-major scene in the movie. I wonder what timeline will xmen teen spirit will be in
— ✨MorningLight✨ (@RealCineaste) July 8, 2017

I also asked this guy about his thoughts on the exit of Tim Miller on Deadpool 2. He said another reason tim left was that he demanded –

-fox to increase the budget to 100M however Ryan (as a producer) and Fox disagreed, they wanted the movie to be on middle range budget
