5. X-Force
For a while, it appeared as if the X-Force movie was moving along nicely, with Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow coming on board to write and possibly direct. For some reason, we’ve heard nothing since then and it appears as X-Men: Days of Future Past may have derailed these plans.
Perhaps Fox feel it’s better to focus on the X-Men rather than this elite squad of mutants who handle the jobs too dirty for the heroic team. X-Force would be a violent and possibly very controversial film, but as the franchise has always been catered more towards adults anyway, the lack of progress on this one becomes all the more baffling.
X-Force could give a number of characters the chance to shine on the big screen who don’t really fit into any of the X-Men movies, and as Fox have talked a lot recently about spin-offs, then prioritising the likes of Gambit over this is nothing short of a huge mistake and a wasted opportunity.
