Drew Goddard On The Status of X-Force After Deadpool 2

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Drew Goddard spoke about the status of a possible X-Force movie after the team appeared in Deadpool 2. Here are highlights:

On what he likes about the Deadpool movies: “What I love most about what Ryan [Reynolds] and his crew over there was able to do with the Deadpool movies is bring this certain sense of surprise and danger. You walk into those movies, and you really don’t know what’s going to happen.”

On the big scene with X-Force in Deadpool 2: “To be honest, I think that’s why it excited me so much. I remember reading that scene and just cackling with delight, specifically because it was the very last thing you’d expect to happen in one of these movies. These movies are so careful to set up the next thing and the next thing, and it made me so happy.”

On talking with Ryan Reynolds: “One thing I said to Ryan was, ‘Don’t worry about it, we’ll come up with new ideas; you guys go make your movie, and do your thing. We’ll figure it out.’ That tends to be the way I like to work. It’s much more important to focus on making the movie that you’re making than focusing on the next thing. It’s much more important to just make one good movie and take your time, then let that dictate what the movies are after.”
