DEADPOOL Co-Creator Rob Liefeld Suggests That Stryfe Could Be The Villain For X-FORCE
Despite Disney's acquisition of Fox's assets being made official, it looks like the studio still intends to forge ahead with its current slate of X-Men movies, and that includes Drew Goddard's X-Force...
Until we hear differently, we're going to assume that Disney intends to allow 20th Century Fox to continue developing its current slate of X-Men and X-Universe features - X-Force Included. Whether any of them will actually see the light of day or not is another story, but as of right now, it seems to be business as usual at the studio.
One man who seems confident that Drew Goddard's X-Force movie is still very much a go is Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld, who strongly implied that Stryfe will be the villain of the piece during an interview with Nerdist.
“Well, do you really hire Josh Brolin if you don’t want him to play both roles? We are perfectly assembled for an X-Force movie. And how do you not scratch that Stryfe itch, right?”
For those that may not be aware of the character, Stryfe was first introduced as the leader of the mutant terrorist group The Mutant Liberation Front before being unmasked as Cable’s genetic clone. The powerful villain was one of the first foes the original team faced in the comics, so it would make sense if he was to be utilized as the film's main antagonist.
Of course, Liefeld may simply be making an assumption here so it's best not to put too much stock in his comments for the time being.
How would you guys feel of Stryfe was the villain of X-Force? Drop us a comment down below.
