With
Kick-Ass 2 ready to be released, director Jeff Wadlow is working hard into the script
for Marvel’s X-Force, which he will be directing.
In a
recent interview Wadlow, tells that X-Force will explore the “grey areas” of
the comic book series, and that fans will be happy with the end result.
"I’m
very deep into it. I can’t really say much as Fox has asked me not to but,
again, it’s not a reboot or reimagining of the X cinematic universe. Tonally it
will fit in, quite well with all the other movies… but then I think the other
movies cover a wide range of tones. It’s certainly not going to be tonally
similar to Kick-Ass.
I
hope it will have what fans of X-Force will expect. I think it will be a little
edgier, I think you’ll see some characters with different takes on what it
means to be a mutant. There will be some grey areas that the movies haven’t yet
been explored. It won’t be as 'overt.' This movie is more about the grey areas
in between.
I’m
going to take some big ideas from the X-universe and flip them, I think in an
interesting way. It’s hard to talk about that, though, without being specific.
I probably shouldn’t have even talked about that at all because I can’t get
into the specifics but I will say it’s similar to Kick-Ass 2 in that it wasn’t
an open assignment, it wasn’t 'We’re going to make an X-Force movie, who’s
interested? Here’s what the movie’s going to be.'”
He then
talked a little bit about how the movie came about;
"When
Mark [Millar] got the job with Fox I said 'The first movie you guys should make
is an X-Force movie and here’s how you should do it.' And that got him excited,
and that got the studio excited and that’s the movie I’m writing."
