"Deadpool" writer Rhett Reese said that they will go for a sillier R-Rated X-Force film. He went to say that Fox will no longer pursue continuity to distinguish its offerings from other films in the same genre.
In an interview, Reese discussed Fox's offerings in the superhero genre. He said that the studio intends to maintain a sillier and edgier movies compared to its counterparts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
"And I think what we stumbled into was a new tone, and I haven't seen Logan, so it's tough to say if they have it, but I think we hope to have our own universe that is defined less by characters and timelines and things like that and more by tone," he explained.
Reese went to say that they want "Deadpool 2" and "X-Force" to maintain a more self-aware tone. To distinguish their work from others, he said that will not focus on building a larger narrative.
"The hope is Deadpool 2 and X-Force and future movies all be this new, consistent, sillier tone. More self-aware tone. And edgier and rated-R tone. We want to be establishing the universe but also focusing on each individual movie and not worrying too much about building a larger threat to the world or a larger plot machination," he said.
Fox appears to be moving away from their "X-Men" dominated slate. This time the studio will come out with some standalone movies that feature sub-franchises such as "New Mutants," "Deadpool 2," "Logan," "Gambit," and "X-Force," Screen Rant reported. The set for these films will be vaguely in the same world but maybe that is a good thing.
Abandoning concerns about continuity not only distinguishes Fox's films from Marvel's and DC's, it also frees the former from the labor of having to reference the past films. This gives their films more leg room to focus on the subject at hand and not worry about any connection.
