Attached is writer\/director <strong>Jeff Wadlow<\/strong> (Kick Ass 2), who is currently working on the film&#8217;s screenplay. Wadlow opens up about the exciting project and reveals how it will fit into the existing &#8220;X-Men&#8221; universe:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m very deep into it.&#8221; says Wadlow. &#8220;I can\u2019t really say much as Fox has asked me not to but, again, it\u2019s not a reboot or re-imagining of the X cinematic universe. Tonally it will fit in, quite well with all the other movies\u2026 but then I think the other movies cover a wide range of tones. It\u2019s certainly not going to be tonally similar to Kick-Ass.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope it will have what fans of X-Force will expect. I think it will be a little edgier, I think you\u2019ll see some characters with different takes on what it means to be a mutant. There will be some grey areas that the movies haven\u2019t yet been explored. It won\u2019t be as \u201covert.\u201d This movie is more about the grey areas in between.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m going to take some big ideas from the X-universe and flip them, I think in an interesting way. It\u2019s hard to talk about that, though, without being specific. I probably shouldn\u2019t have even talked about that at all because I can\u2019t get into the specifics but I will say it\u2019s similar to Kick-Ass 2 in that it wasn\u2019t an open assignment, it wasn\u2019t \u201cWe\u2019re going to make an X-Force movie, who\u2019s interested? Here\u2019s what the movie\u2019s going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Mark [Millar] got the job with Fox I said \u201cThe first movie you guys should make is an X-Force movie and here\u2019s how you should do it.\u201d And that got him excited, and that got the studio excited and that\u2019s the movie I\u2019m writing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedingcool.com\/2013\/08\/06\/what-x-force-writer-director-jeff-wadlow-just-told-me-about-the-movie\/?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=twitter\" target=\"_blank\">Bleeding Cool<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xmenfilms.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/08\/xforce.png?resize=470%2C714\" alt=\"XForce\" width=\"470\" height=\"714\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20819\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bleeding Cool &#8212; As previously revealed, producer Lauren Shuler Donner and Marvel consultant Mark Millar&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20892,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crew-talk","category-x-force"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20816\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
