Original X-Force creator Rob Liefeld has taken to his Twitter account to praise Jeff Wadlow’s most recent draft of a screenplay for a forthcoming big screen adaptation of the comic team.
He said that that the “1st mission accomplished for X-Force” was the script and when casting begins “we can scream together”
Hinting that the film will maintain a balanced roster from throughout the book’s long and varied history, he added: “X-Force cast/film will please/appeal to fans of all eras. Wadlow carefully, cleverly navigates the legacy.”
X-Force was first launched in the early ’90s by Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza. The original team consisted of many fan favorite characters including Cable, Cannonball, Domino, Warpath, and Deadpool, but later incarnations have featured Wolverine, Psylocke, Sunspot, and Colossus.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
